What can a Pentadyne system do for me?
Pentadyne clean energy storage has a lot of great attributes and advantages.
We've found that manufacturing facilities using our system particularly value these qualities:
- No HVAC needs - Pentadyne systems need no HVAC, perfect for manufacturing sites. UPS batteries need air conditioned space – and plenty of it – to offset their heat production. Operating batteries just 10°F above optimum cuts their life in half.
- Cost savings - Pentadyne own-and-operate costs are much lower than those of batteries. Over time, each Pentadyne system deployed saves $200,000 over VRLA batteries, even more if replacing wet cells.
- Highest availability, lowest maintenance - Steel flywheels incur hours of downtime and thousands in maintenance costs every 2-3 years. Rotary systems are even worse. But the Pentadyne system's only suggested downtime maintenance is for just one hour once every six years.
Other valuable attributes include:
- Energy storage that's more effective and reliable
- Half the footprint of VRLA batteries
- 80% smaller footprint than wet cells
- Virtually silent operation
- 1/10th the energy consumption of other flywheels
- No concrete pad needed or floor loading issues
- Rolls into place and commissions in less than 60 minutes
- No explosive gas emissions or hazardous materials
- No acid vapors, spillage or other safety issues
- Solid, non-"pro-rated" 5-year warranty, standard
- Built in California: seismic zone 4 rated
- Environmentally responsible, sustainable
