Hybitat, joint venture of Sit group, signed his first contract for an innovative system of generation and storage of hydrogen intended for residential use. Ahead of schedule, it sold a 200 kWh storage system, which will be installed in a prestigious 2025th-century private residence in the first quarter of XNUMX.
What is Hybitat?
Hybitat is a energy storage system long duration (“Long Duration Energy Storage”) that converts the energy of photovoltaic panels into hydrogen through water electrolysis, returning it based on peak energy demand through an electrochemical process without combustion. Ideal for residential use, the system is composed of ainternal unit (main unit) and a di external storage (storage unit), optimizing the solar energy generated in summer to cover winter needs.
Launched in 2023, Hybitat uses metal hydrides to store hydrogen safely and at high density, offering a residential solution to balance the gap between renewable energy generation and demand.
Sit's goal: to provide clean energy to homes
Sit entered the sector as a pioneer for providing homes with clean energy for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
“Il energy sector is constantly evolving and so also the solutions for the generation and storage of clean energy. Despite the challenging and unstable regulatory framework, we believe that renewable energy storage systems will be a fundamental element to achieve the decarbonisation objectives that Europe in particular has set itself. This is why we have Hybitat developed, which combines the technical skills of the Sit R&D to safely manage technologies that use gas, and in particular hydrogen, in residential contexts, and that of e-Novia in software development, necessary to make the battery communicate with the smart home" he declared Thomas Valdinoci, Chief Strategy and Product Officer of sit.
