Oxnard, CA, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Given the volatile and unpredictable scale of recent storms, SimpliPhi Power – now part of Briggs and Stratton – is providing reduced pricing on wall-mountable PHI 3.8 kWh Battery, Big Genny Emergency Power Kit, and Little Genny Power Kit through October 31, 2022.
Customer-sited battery storage is a critical solution that creates reliable backup power in the face of growing threats to the centralized grid, whether at home, at work, or on-the-go during evacuations. That is why SimpliPhi is committed to Energizing America, a campaign designed to raise awareness and offer discounts to prepare and equip home and business owners with critical battery backup as extreme weather continues to cause widespread power outages across the U.S., putting people, businesses, and communities at risk. The urgency and sheer numbers of people across the country facing power outages inspired SimpliPhi to create the campaign and offer additional coverage to the entire U.S. and territories.
In recent weeks, Hurricane Fiona battered Puerto Rico, which left 13 dead and hundreds of thousands without clean water or power. The storm hit on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, which claimed the lives of 3,000 and caused massive infrastructure damage and power outages. Two weeks after Fiona, over 100,000 Puerto Rican residents are still without access to grid power.
Ten days after Fiona, Hurricane Ian slammed into the west coast of Florida as a Category 4 storm, significantly damaging coastal communities and inundating the mainland, wiping out utility power lines. It then traveled across the state and back into the ocean, hitting South Carolina and parts of Georgia as a Category 1 hurricane. As it traveled, the storm continued to bring heavy rain and severe winds to North Carolina and Virginia. Collectively, 3.4 million people lost access to grid power – with 2.7 million customer outages in Florida alone.
It’s clear that Americans need distributed customer-sited energy storage in their homes and businesses in order to have critical backup power when centralized utility-scale generation, transmission and distribution fails. As Catherine Von Burg, CEO of SimpliPhi Power, observes “Utilities are failing to deliver on their promise to provide reliable and affordable access to power. Centralized generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure is antiquated and inadequate, failing to meet the escalating demand on the grid with electrification and EV charging, even in the best of times – pre-hurricane season.”
Distributed, customer-sited energy storage creates resilient homes, businesses, and communities. SimpliPhi has proven energy storage solutions that are safe, reliable, and cost-effective. The company has been deploying energy storage and management systems globally since its founding in 2010. With a proven track record of performance for over a decade, the company has solved problems around resilience and access to energy in some of the harshest environments and most challenging use cases globally, spanning territories in over 45 countries.
SimpliPhi’s products provide a safer alternative to typical cobalt-based lithium-ion batteries that are prone to thermal runaway and fires. The company only uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, which does not contain cobalt or pose a risk to customers needing emergency backup power.
Have an existing generator? SimpliPhi battery systems can even optimize generators, reducing run-times and fuel costs, creating additional security and savings during prolonged outages when fuel is often scarce.
Together with the backing of the nation’s most trusted energy solutions providers, Briggs and Stratton – SimpliPhi Power is committed to providing all of the necessary resources to Energize America. Get connected to a participating distributor or installer today: sales@simpliphipower.com
