Qinous — New Plug-&-Play Energy Storage System From Berlin-Based Startup

A new ‘plug-and-play’ approach to energy storage systems was recently unveiled by the Berlin-based startup Qinous at the Energy Storage Conference in Düsseldorf. This new storage system is portable, compact, easy to install, and, perhaps more importantly, can be easily integrated into existing energy systems — with limited effort or costs. The system was designed,
