Carlsbad, California--(Newsfile Corp. - April 24, 2025) - Paladin Power, a leader in next-generation energy storage systems, today announced a joint venture with Emtel Energy USA, a global innovator in solid-state graphene energy storage technology. The partnership will focus on co-developing a fully integrated, all-in-one, lithium-free energy storage system (ESS) for residential and commercial markets.
The new system combines Paladin's advanced 30kW bidirectional inverter with Emtel's proprietary supercapacitor-based graphene cells. Paladin's inverter supports 208V systems, enables vehicle-to-grid applications, and can harness power from solar, hydrogen, EVs, backup generators, and other sources-making it one of the most flexible energy platforms on the market. Emtel's low-risk, non-chemical cells, made of synthetic and sustainable graphene, deliver ultra-fast charging, zero heat generation, and a 25-year lifespan with over 500,000 charge cycles. The technology offers nearly twice the energy density of standard LiFePO4 cells while being 60% lighter and not classified as a traditional battery.
"This is about combining two proven technologies to deliver the most advanced energy storage solution ever built in America," said Ted Thomas, CEO of Paladin Power. "We've eliminated the fire risk, the lithium restrictions, and the global sourcing issues. The system is safe, powerful, and ready for any jurisdiction, including the strictest in the country."
Thanks to its lithium-free chemistry, this breakthrough will not face the growing restrictions that lithium-based batteries do, particularly in cities like Los Angeles. And because it avoids rare earth materials tied to foreign suppliers, it offers a geopolitically resilient alternative.
"What we're building is a permanent, long-term grid replacement solution, something the market has been missing," said Thomas. "It offers communities, institutions, and utilities a clear path beyond outdated, lithium-dependent infrastructure toward something far more reliable and resilient."
Both companies will continue to operate independently while collaborating on joint marketing, installer training, national sales support, and co-branded deployments across residential, commercial, and industrial markets.
