An energy revolution is here, powered by one of the most abundant elements on Earth. Sodium(Na) - salt 1 A soft, silvery-white metal, element number 11 on the periodic table. 2. Found abundantly in seawater as sodium chloride (salt), it’s essential for life, industry, and now… the future of energy. 3. The unsung hero behind a new generation of batteries - safer, cleaner, and built for a world that demands sustainability.
Origin: From the medieval Latin sodanum, meaning “headache remedy” - and today, a headache remedy for the planet’s energy problems.

where we shine
Engineering Excellence in Every Detail
What is Sodium Battery Technology?
Sodium batteries store and release energy by moving sodium ions between electrodes-just like lithium batteries, but using safer, more abundant, and eco-friendly materials.
How it Works:
* Uses sodium chloride (salt), not lithium * Built with ceramic electrolytes & beta-alumina casings * Controlled by a smart Battery Management System (BMS) * No rare metals, cobalt, or copper
Why Sodium?
Abundant & Ethical
Sodium is everywhere -found in seawater and minerals - eliminating mining conflicts and scarcity issues.
Cost-Efficient Energy
Lower material and manufacturing costs mean more affordable batteries for homes, businesses, and utility grids.
Safer by Design
Low flammability and excellent thermal stability make sodium batteriessafer in all conditions.
What sets us apart
Security & Theft Resistance
No Precious Metals
No resale value for scrap.
Tamper Protection
Proprietary software renders stolen units useless.
Heavy Weight
120–150 kg per battery makes theft physically difficult.
Eco Friendly
Non-toxic, recyclable materials.
More Information
Did You Know?
Sodium is 500x more abundant than lithium?
Found in seawater and common minerals, making it a sustainable and low-cost alternative.
Sodium batteries are non-flammable?
Their chemistry is inherently stable, reducing the risk of fire or thermal runaway compared to lithium-ion systems.
No cobalt, nickel, or copper
Sodium-based batteries avoid the use of scarce, high-cost, or conflict-prone metals, making them more ethical and theft-resistant.
Wide temperature tolerance
Sodium batteries can operate reliably from –20°C to +60°C, making them ideal for Africa’s extreme climates.
Long service life
With 6,000+ full charge/discharge cycles, sodium batteries deliver years of dependable performance with minimal capacity loss.
