LG Chem announced that it has been selected by Southern California Edison (SCE) to provide lithium-ion battery packs for a pilot program involving energy storage systems for residential and small commercial applications.
An LG Chem consortium, working jointly with LG Electronics and LS Industrial Systems, is providing a complete system solution to meet the stringent requirements of the home energy storage program. LG Chem will provide the lithium-ion battery packs; LG Electronics will provide the solar photovoltaic inverter and control and communication equipment; LS Industrial Systems will provide the battery charger; and LG Chem Power, Inc., a subsidiary of LG Chem, will assemble the systems, which will then be supplied to SCE.
