Volvo Buses in project researching use of second-life electric bus batteries to store solar energy

Green Car Congress

This is part of a research project in which Volvo Buses, Göteborg Energi, Riksbyggen and Johanneberg Science Park are working together to examine electricity storage in apartment blocks that have their own electricity production via solar panels. What we are examining here is exactly how good that potential is.
