GSL ENERGY, an energy storage manufacturer from Shenzhen, China, recently announced the successful installation and grid-connection of its 500 kWh HUB energy storage project deep in the Peruvian Amazon. This project provides a continuous and stable green power supply to local remote villages, marking another significant milestone for GSL ENERGY in global off-grid energy storage applications.
Stone, Technical Director of GSL ENERGY, endured a journey of over 30 hours involving multiple flights and transits, followed by a six-day boat trip through winding rivers and dense tropical rainforest, finally arriving at the project site.
Upon arrival, setting aside the fatigue from his long journey, Stone immediately immersed himself in system debugging and acceptance testing. When the HUB energy storage system successfully connected to the grid and the village power grid restarted that night, electric lights instantly illuminated—the dark jungle village was bathed in a warm glow, and the villagers cheered with joy.
"This time, we're not just lighting up a few households; we are lighting up the entire village."
— Stone, Technical Director, GSL ENERGY
The project utilizes GSL ENERGY's new generation HUB series high-efficiency energy storage solution, with a total capacity of 500 kWh, composed of 100 parallel-connected 5 kWh LiFePO4 battery packs. This is one of the largest distributed energy storage systems currently in the Amazon region, specifically designed for remote areas and extreme environments.
Large-Capacity Stable Power Supply: The 500 kWh system can simultaneously meet the daily electricity needs of hundreds of households and community public facilities.
Modular Parallel Design: 100 units of 5 kWh batteries connected flexibly in parallel, facilitating maintenance and expansion, enabling highly reliable operation.
Green Self-Cycling Energy: The system integrates seamlessly with solar panels, supporting a 24/7 renewable energy power supply.
Intelligent Monitoring & Management: Equipped with GSL intelligent BMS and EMS for real-time battery status monitoring and energy distribution.
Adaptation to Extreme Environments: Features an integrated outdoor cabinet design with waterproof, dustproof, corrosion-resistant, and dehumidification, ensuring long-term stable operation in the high-humidity, high-temperature rainforest environment.
With the commissioning of the 500 kWh HUB energy storage system, the village has undergone a historic transformation.
Schools, clinics, and small shops resumed normal operations. Residents gained access to lighting, refrigeration equipment, and power tools. Children can now study comfortably at night. For the first time, the community enjoys round-the-clock electricity, significantly improving the quality of life.
GSL ENERGY stated that it will continue to promote green energy storage technology in Latin America and other remote regions worldwide, advancing energy equity and sustainable development.
