We could put this all together and bring meaningful solar to construction, to various industries.” So, we said we could actually do this ourselves. There’s a little bit of electronics and a bit of connectivity involved. “People were saying to us that we’ve got a battery storage system, they’ve told us it can work with solar panels, how can you do this?” Atwal says. “In our heads we thought the battery storage would drive it, but actually what’s been driving it is the solar.” “The solar panels are really how our company started,” Atwal says. In 2017 the team started looking at creating panels linked to lithium battery storage for applications such as glamping, location broadcasting, civil engineering and construction – and Lifos was born. Lifos’ parent company Solar Technology International is one of these, specialising in bringing the sun’s power to a range of specialisms, ranging from the motorised ramps and jetways used to allow passengers embark and disembark from aircraft, to remote monitoring systems providing land slip warnings. With the war in Ukraine pushing utility prices to new global highs and prompting governments to lend support to attempts at energy independence, manufacturers around the world have been springing up, attempting to bring cheap solar power to an ever-growing number and range of users. Certainly, as prices for PV cells have become cheaper and utility prices become more expensive, the number of homes and businesses choosing to install solar panels on their roofs has expanded rapidly, with the PV cell market growing to US$ 165.47 billion in 2023 and foreast to reach US$ 355.24 billion by 2033.
