Gridtential Energy

Gridtential Energy develops an Absorbent Glass Mat battery that offers a lower-cost, safer, greener alternative to traditional lithium-ion. The company'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. It 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. The Santa Clara, California-headquartered company was established by Peter Borden and Michele Klein in 2010.
