UNIGRID's Na+Casa Home Battery Drops Lithium And Cobalt For Sodium

UNIGRID prices the 9.25-kilowatt-hour unit at parity with lithium-ion and targets US entry by year-end, pending regulatory approval.

  • Na+Casa holds 9.25 kilowatt-hours and runs from minus 40 to 60 degrees Celsius.
  • UNIGRID is a 2021 UC San Diego spinoff currently producing 200 megawatt-hours yearly.
  • The company targets a tenfold jump, to 2 gigawatt-hours of annual output, by 2027.

Why it matters: The chemistry already works; a regulator's calendar, not physics, decides when it reaches American homes.
