Gridtential Energy’s bipolar battery technology, Silicon Joule, transforms the familiar lead battery into a powerful, fast-charging, long-lasting source of energy for electric vehicles, homes and offices. At last, the battery we need for a clean-powered world. Our Silicon Joule® Technology incorporates solar wafer processing techniques into novel bipolar battery architectures while integrating seamlessly into existing battery manufacturing and recycling infrastructures. The result is a high-performance, low-cost, quickly-scalable technology platform that also eliminates failure mechanisms, extends cycle life, and improves power performance at a fundamental level.
Our business model is built upon a capital-light licensing approach that partners, rather than competes, with battery manufacturing partners. Our collaborative partner relationships leverage a century of industrial engineering expertise and energy storage know-how with modern, volume production semiconductor processing capabilities all applied to a novel, stacked-cell battery architecture.
Gridtential is a Silicon Valley start-up staffed with a team of serial entrepreneurs, experienced managers, creative engineers, and master technicians. We treasure an open, direct, and politic-free culture that focuses on high productivity and collaborative achievement of ambitious goals in an enjoyable working environment. Come help us change the landscape of energy storage and create a cleaner, more efficient energy future for all.
