Overview
- Relectrify’s AC1 uses cell-level electronics to generate grid-compliant AC without a separate inverter, a design the company says delivers 20–30% more lifetime energy and higher long-term capacity retention including 99% of available energy each cycle.
- ARENA’s funding will support deployments targeting commercial, industrial and small front-of-meter sites, with up to 100 MWh installed as reference projects to gather performance data.
- The AC1 targets the “missing middle” of large energy users by aiming to improve payback through reduced installation complexity, maintenance needs and system footprint.
- The project includes a knowledge-sharing program to publish case studies and operating results that support wider adoption and renewable integration.
- Relectrify is scaling production with manufacturing and assembly in Taiwan and plans to expand its Melbourne team.
