Sacred Sun was awarded "Chinese export commodities’ quality & safety demonstration enterprise"

Recently, the first batch of "Chinese export commodities’ quality & safety demonstration enterprise" (2015 No. 128) has been published in the website of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) of P.R.C. Total of 210 enterprises in various industries of the whole country were selected on the list, and so does Sacred Sun.
The demonstration enterprises were recommended by their provinces, approved and awarded the honor of highest quality export enterprise by AQSIQ, which aims to promote the level of export commodities’ quality and safety, foster new export competitive advantages.
As a prominent manufacture, Sacred Sun has focused on developing overseas market step by step, unceasing improved R&D ability, adopted advanced technologies, materials, and equipments since its inception in the year 1991.All of these have realized its products exported to over 50 countries and regions, and widely applied in telecommunications, UPS, new energy storage and motive power fields.

Off-grid power plant system

Sacred Sun’s Off-grid power plant system is an independent system that not directly connects to the public power grid. As a new power supply pattern, it mainly contains PV array, bracket, battery group, solar controller, off-grid inverter.

Such kind of system could be applied to the centralized power supply in remote areas without mains supply, adopt the renewable energy source wind and solar to generate power and battery is used for energy storage to achieve continuous power supply.

Most Commonly Used Battery Series as follows:

1. FCP Lead Carbon Battery

2. GFMU Energy Storage Battery

3. OPzV Tubular Plate Gel Battery

4. GFMJ Flat Plate Gel Battery

Off-grid power plant system is an independent system which can be applied to the centralized power supply in remote areas without mains supply.

Super lead carbon batteries show clear advantages

Compared with ordinary lead-acid battery and lithium ion battery, super lead carbon battery has obvious advantages in the cost of electricity and safety. Such kind of battery applied in energy storage station could achieve lower cost-in-use than lithium ion battery on one hand, and save cost when they are replaced on the other hand.

Take super EV lead carbon battery for instance, 12V12AH EV battery’s cycle life has increased after charge and discharge with constant current and 100% DOD testing. Such kind of battery could charge more than 800 times which far above the average of 150 times of normal lead acid battery. Besides, capability of charge acceptance and capacity in low temperature of super lead carbon battery is obviously superior to ordinary lead-acid battery.

The age of clean energy is coming

Commercial wind power was born in the late 1970s, and after the year 2000, developed countries such as Denmark and America entered into the growth period of wind power. Currently, it is believed that by the year 2020 or 2030, the wind power industry will enter outbreak period, and so does photovoltaic (PV) power generation. In 1986, America has built the first PV power station in the world, and after 30 years’ development, the global PV industry has entered growth period at present. If we predict in accordance with China's average annual growth of 30%, PV industry will enter outbreak period by the year 2030 or 2040.

The annual solar radiation energy to the earth equals to the energy generated by 116 trillion tons of standard coal, while total energy consumed by all humans in 2014 equals to the energy generated by 20 billion tons of standard coal, which is less than 2/10000 of the annual solar radiation energy.

That is to say, as long as we cover the Sahara desert which account for one percent of the earth's surface with photovoltaic solar panels, the generated energy could satisfy the energy demand of all humans by 2050 (consider factors such as solar photovoltaic panels’ power generation efficiency and illuminate angle).

So why we need to excavate fossil fuels that require hundreds of millions of years to form if we can get electricity by covering solar panels ? Clean energy could purify our life greatly. We human beings should have enough confidence to get rid of the dependence on fossil fuels by 2050.

New-Type FTH Series Front Terminal Battery

    Innovations on the structural design of Sacred Sun’s 12V FTH series battery have enabled the achievement of cross-wall welding and heat-sealing process.

Lithium-sulfur Battery

     Lithium-sulfur (Li/S) battery is a kind of rechargeable battery adopts lithium as negative electrode and elemental sulfur as positive active material. The theoretical specific capacity of its positive electrode is expected to reach 1675mAh/g, and the theoretical specific energy of the Li/S battery is expected to reach 2600Wh/kg. Its achievable practical energy density may reach 750Wh/g.
    In accordance with the report published at Phys.org on January 13th, 2015, the new material discovered by chemistry professor Linda F. Nazar and her research team could maintain the stability of Sulfur cathode, which is the major obstacle in the research of lithium-sulfur battery. Theoretically, the running time of lithium-sulfur battery is 2 times longer than that of ordinarylithium ion battery at same weight. What’s more, it’s cheaper than lithium ion battery.
     In July 2010, lithium-sulfur battery produced by Sion Power is applied on an American unmanned solar plane, which has attracted the attention of the public. Part of the electricity generated at daytime is stored in the lithium-sulfur batteries and discharged at nighttime. The unmanned solar plane has flown 14 days continuously.

India continues to ramp up interest in ESS technology

India signalled its growing interest in energy storage systems during a week when its prime minister visited Tesla and a firm unveiled a new lead-acid battery.

During a tour of the US firm’s automotive campus, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed interest in Tesla’s Powerwall, especially for India’s remote rural areas.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs said the main takeaway was the technology behind long-term storage batteries, and Modi had been ‘very keen’ to see how India could use the battery technology to ‘leapfrog development in India’, claimed the website.

Tesla began shipping its 7kWh Powerwalls to pilot customers in North America, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Australia this week.

Meanwhile Relicell has launched a proprietary gel-based maintenance-free battery, designed for renewable energy storage, especially for home use in India’s punishing weather conditions.

Relicell is the battery brand of Greenvision Technologies, an energy storage solutions firm headquartered in Bangalore, India.

The batteries use a lead-calcium-tin-silver alloy, a synthetic separator with phosphoric acid added to the electrolyte to improve life cycle.

The batteries are available in 12V, 35 Ah to 12V and 200 Ah options and come in three variants: Solar Gel for solar applications, Ultra Gel for home inverters and deep cycle UPS applications.

Founder and Managing Director of Greenvision Technologies Biju Bruno said: "The largest adoption of these batteries is likely to be in home inverters and solar energy storage devices, while batteries used to store solar energy will be able to operate under very hot conditions and even in a state of partial charge."

Back in August ACME Cleantech Solutions launched the first power back-up storage solution in India. The lithium-ion-based EcoGrid Energy Storage System was designed for homes and small commercial units.

At the start of the year, US energy storage system developer SunEdison moved into the Indian market when it bought 1,000 Imergy Power Systems ESP 30 systems.

SunEdison bought the vanadium flow battery technology to build microgrids to store solar energy in rural India. SunEdison aims to develop 5,000 microgrids by 2020 to store solar energy for 20 million people, with the first 1,000 to be developed within three years.

China sees rise in Pb-A battery imports, but exports storm ahead

    Shanghai Metals Market has reported that China imported 695,200 lead-acid batteries in July, increasing 26.1% compared with June with an increase of 11.7% year on year.
    According to China Custom’s previous report, China has imported 4.29 million lead-acid batteries, fell 6.3% year on year compared with the first half of the year, and then sees rise.
    Compared with imports, exports rise to 19.96 million in July, increases 17.07% month on month and 14.6% year on year, an India-based Scrap Register reported. 
    It is estimated that the production of lead-acid battery in China accounted for 30% of world output.
   The Chinese Ministry of Finance claimed that a 4% consumption tax will be levied on lead-acid batteries from January 1 next year, which will generate greater pressure on domestic manufacturers and therefore lead to a reduction of production.
   Chinese government promised to shut down lead-acid battery factories and secondary lead factories with ‘backward production capacities’ by the end of 2015 in one of its reports.

Sacred Sun is committed to providing energy storage system solutions in fields of intelligent grid, distributed generation, micro-grid power plants, new energy access, and so on.

Will sodium-ion battery replace Li-ion battery?

    Not satisfied with changing the appearance of lithium battery, John Goodenough, father of Li-ion battery, has now organized an international team of scientists at the University of Texas, US. Currently, the team has claimed that the mineral eldfellite ( NaFe(SO4)₂) could be regarded as a potential cathode for sodium-ion battery. This significant discovery has been published on an online Journal called Eldfellite. The title of the paper is “NaFe(SO4)₂: Embedded Cathode for Low-cost Sodium-ion Batteries”.
    Eldfellite (NaFe(SO4)₂) is composed of Na⁺ layers and Fe³⁺ layers, and is separated at a fixed distance by SO4^2-polyhedral. 80% of the material’s theoretical maximum specific capacity might be achieved because the fixed spaces allow the diffusion of sodium ions.
    Preetam Singh, a scientist of the research team, said that the problem at present is the size of the sodium ion, because the sodium–sodium interaction is much stronger than Lithium-Lithium interaction. If they simply duplicate li-ion technology by directly replacing lithium with sodium in the chemical structure of cathode and electrolyte, favorable ratio performance will not be achieved.
    Li-ion batteries bring us convenience, such as mobile phones and electric vehicles. However, the limited supply of lithium has caused the high cost of li-ion batteries and EVs, and has confined the application of the technology.
    In view of the deficiency of lithium, researchers are trying to solve the problem through replacing lithium with sodium, for sodium-ion battery could also reach 100% discharge rate and is safer than lithium-ion battery on transportation.
