Peerless-AV® Joins Blue Planet Energy to Create a Premium Grid-Optional Energy Solution

AURORA, Ill. - April 21, 2020 - PRLog -- Peerless-AV^®, an award-winning designer and manufacturer of the highest quality audio and video solutions and accessories, is proud to announce a product partnership with Blue Planet Energy (https://blueplanetenergy.com/), creator of super-high performance off-grid and microgrid battery systems, to develop the Blue Ion LXHV (https://blueplanetenergy.com/products/lx), a patent pending, premium grid-optional energy solution that brings together a wide range of sustainable energy options to power critical infrastructure and businesses.

Through a ruggedized, custom enclosure manufactured by Peerless-AV, Blue Planet Energy's non-toxic battery system and an integrated site controller, the companies are bringing together premium technologies to provide reliable energy for resilience projects.  These include applications where energy is absolutely critical, like emergency services and healthcare facilities, or prohibitively high-cost, such as regions with expensive utility rate structures or where business continuity during grid outages is imperative.

"Because energy is such a critical element of modern life, we focus on bringing the broadest range of energy options to individuals and communities seeking more resilient and clean energy infrastructure," stated Michael Menendez, Head of Product Development at Blue Planet Energy. "Peerless-AV's stellar team, as well as their ability to quickly manufacture custom solutions at scale right here in the USA, make collaborating with them inspiring and effortless. What we created together transforms clean energy to an on-demand resource that makes grid-free commercial operations a reality."

The Blue Ion LXHV grid-optional energy solution features include a fire-safe battery chemistry and built-in battery management system; an integrated site controller accessible via an industry-leading touchscreen on the enclosure or an app; a tunable cooling system and eco-friendly reusable and washable air filter; and easy installation and serviceability features like the industry's first zero displacement door hinge and removable top service entrance.

"We are honored to be partnering with Blue Planet Energy to create an impactful solution that offers life-saving energy and encourages sustainability," said Nick Belcore, Executive Vice President, Peerless-AV. "Blue Planet Energy consistently provides resilience options to communities where this is a need, as can be seen in the tremendous effort the company put forth in Puerto Rico after the hurricane in 2017. That effort and mobile infrastructure is still in place today benefiting the people of Puerto Rico. We are proud to partner with a company like Blue Planet Energy and are eager to help spread their mission."

The Blue Ion LXHV is a 125kW/128kWh system includes a pre-tested and pre-configured battery inverter and flexible microgrid control software allowing for optional integration with generators, renewables or the grid.
