Energy storage company SimpliPhi Power secures USD 2 million financing

The USD 2 million in funds allow SimpliPhi Power to expand its California-based manufacturing facility, and continue the expansion of the company's product line including its new plug-and-play Energy Storage System and high-voltage solutions

SimpliPhi Power (Ojai, CA, U.S.) on August 30th, 2016 announced the closing of a USD 2 million financing.
The company's award-winning battery and recent plug-and-play energy storage solutions to add energy storage to solar photovoltaic (PV) installations simple and cost-effective, is capturing continued interest from the investment community, the company notes.
Initially financed by friends and family in 2010 to expand into new markets, SimpliPhi has since raised over USD 3.5 million. The company has been operating profitably since 2013, reinvesting its cash from revenue and operations year-over-year to expand manufacturing capacity, R&D and new product development, reads the press release.
The funds allow the company to expand its California-based manufacturing facility, where it produces its lithium ferrous phosphate energy storage and management systems for both on and off grid applications.
The new financing also continues the expansion of the company's product line and boosts production of the newly introduced plug-and-play Energy Storage System and high-voltage solutions.

Focus on non-toxic and highly efficient energy storage solutions
“SimpliPhi Power has always maintained a disciplined, technology-centric approach to developing energy storage and management systems that solve real-world problems,” said SimpliPhi CEO Catherine Von Burg.
“By focusing on non-toxic and highly efficient solutions that seamlessly integrate with and optimize any power generation source, we have been able to manage our capex and cash flow extremely well. This new influx of money will amplify our efforts to expand the business, recruit top talent and support ongoing R&D and IP Library development – all helping to better position the company for its Series A round.”
SimpliPhi Power technology utilizes patented, licensed lithium ferrous phosphate cells with proprietary management boards, circuitry, cell architecture and methods of assembly to create safe, intelligent and energy dense storage and management systems.
