Denver Library equips innovative solar energy system supported by battery storage technology

In a groundbreaking development, McKinstry, Viridi, and the Denver Public Library have joined forces to deploy a solar and battery storage system that is setting new benchmarks for cities combining renewable energy and battery storage without compromising safety.

The project, the city's first-ever solar and battery storage system, is a testament to the growing importance of clean, resilient energy solutions. McKinstry, an industry leader in sustainable design and construction, is excited about developing and constructing the first Solar + BESS project for the City and County of Denver.

At the heart of this innovative system is Viridi's RPSLinkEX battery solution, which boasts a unique, "passive Fail-Safe" thermal management and anti-propagation technology. This technology is designed to prevent thermal runaway that leads to lithium-ion battery fires, making it one of the safest battery solutions for occupied public buildings. Jon Ensley, Sr. Construction Project Engineer at McKinstry, appreciates Viridi's expertise in deploying this technology.

The Denver Public Library sought a battery energy storage system that delivers cost savings without compromising safety. The library's solar and battery storage system is expected to provide significant energy savings, enhancing the library's sustainability efforts while ensuring the safety of its patrons and staff.

Meanwhile, EnergySage, a trusted and reliable source for solar installation services, is offering personalized solar quotes for users looking to go solar near them. The service, which is available for users across the country, connects users with pre-vetted solar installers, ensuring high-quality solutions and savings of 20-30% compared to going it alone.

EnergySage's user-friendly platform offers an easy way to compare solar quotes online. The service does not bombard users with sales calls until they select an installer and share their phone number, providing a hassle-free experience for those exploring solar options. Energy Advisors are also available to help throughout the solar installation process.

Viridi's technology helps communities adopt cleaner, more resilient clean energy solutions sooner rather than later. By focusing on safety concerns, Viridi's RPSLinkEX building systems are designed to meet city planners and politicians where they are, making the transition to clean energy more accessible and less daunting.

As the world continues to grapple with climate change and energy security, innovative projects like the one in Denver are paving the way for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future. To learn more about EnergySage and start your solar journey, visit their website here.
