The Powin Pod platform offers benefits such as:

  • Higher-density energy storage: Upgraded cell capacity, utilization of cell-to-pack technology and optimized internal space maximizes energy density and results in significant land savings for projects. Powin Pod delivers a 50% increase in energy density from the Powin Centipede platform. This solution and density improvement is available at 2-hour or greater system applications.
  • Top-tier safety and reliability: Liquid cooling provides more stable internal battery system temperatures, ensuring enhanced system safety and longevity. Powin complies with the latest and most stringent fire prevention standards such as UL9540A, NFPA 68 and NFPA 69, while having optional class-leading fire suppression at module and container level.
  • Enhanced cost savings: Powin Pod’s compact size reduces the amount of land required for installation, and Powin’s faster and lower cost shipping and on-time delivery combined with simplified installation and commissioning processes allow for lower CAPEX and greater customer savings.

With a proven track record of over 17 GWh deployed and under construction worldwide and over six million battery cells monitored, Powin is a trusted and established US-based integrator. Powin provides world-class logistics for on-time delivery, 20-year performance guarantee and long-term service structures and relies on a 24/7 Remote Operations Center and over 500 field service technicians and Authorized Service Providers to ensure optimal system performance.

Powin Pod is now available to order in markets globally and delivery is expected to begin in mid-2025.
