Fourth Power is developing and commercializing the lowest cost energy storage technology on the market to enable the utility grid to operate 24/7/365 on renewable energy. Our batteries store heat in low-cost carbon blocks at up to 2400 degrees Celsius -- half the temperature of the sun. The batteries then convert this heat back to electricity using thermophotovoltaics (TPV) on demand.
