Off-Grid Power Exhibition 2019Off-Grid Lunch Reception

The Off-Grid Power Exhibition is organised by ARE and in partnership with the German Solar Association (BSW-Solar) and Intersolar Europe. Prominent Off-grid companies will be present to showcase their products and technologies.

The Off-Grid Power Exhibition is location in Hall B3, booth 171

The Off-Grid Lunch Reception will take place on May 16th 2019 at 12:00 in Room B11 (second floor above Hall B1 & B2). The Off-Grid Lunch Reception 2019 is sponsored by Azelio.

About Azelio Azelio, a Swedish company with a unique Stirling based system with thermal energy storage for dispatchable electricity production. The system has a storage capacity of 13 hours production at nominal power, scalable and cost- effective already from small installations. The initial target market is between 0.5 – 20 MW, a segment that lacks cost-effective and sustainable alternatives. Azelio’s solution adds value on a broad base for optimizing for microgrid systems as load shift, distributed sustainable baseload or as an off-grid CSP system with storage.
