Batteries for Solar Power Storage: Total Signs a Research Agreement with MIT
Total announces the signing of a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop new stationary batteries that are designed to enable the storage of solar power.
This agreement valued at $4 million over five years is part of the MIT Energy Initiative, which Total joined as a member in November 2008.
The Total-MIT research project is primarily focused on development of a low-cost, long-life battery suited to store the power generated by solar panels. The ability to store power is a major challenge and an essential ingredient for the scale up and widespread deployment of affordable solar power.
This research agreement marks a significant step forward in Total’s research and development of alternative energies, particularly in accelerating the development and deployment of solar power.
