Relectrify Dramatically Improves Economics of Energy Storage for Taiwanese Businesses With Novel Inverterless Battery Energy Storage System
Relectrify Establishes Local Team, Bringing Together Deep Expertise in Taiwan's Energy Market, Battery Technology, and Business Innovation
Relectrify, a leading battery storage innovator recently recognized by Time Magazine as one of the world's top greentech companies, today announced its entry into Taiwan bringing a disruptive proposition to the market that will help reduce energy costs for Taiwanese businesses. Manufactured here in Taiwan, Relectrify's AC1 battery energy storage product delivers the best capacity retention in the industry, offering a compelling investment for commercial and industrial energy users seeking to take control of their energy future and reduce operational costs.
Relectrify has established a local team that brings together deep expertise in the Taiwan energy market, battery technology, and commercial innovation. Yu-Jue Wang, who recently joined Relectrify from Tesla Energy, where his contributions included securing over 1GWh+ of energy storage contracts, leads Relectrify's Business Development in Taiwan. He is joined by Rosey Luo, Relectrify's Lead Engineer in Taiwan, who was previously Head of Engineering at Enel X, and Fenix Huang, Relectrify's Product Manager, who formerly served as COO at EV innovator XING Mobility. Both Wang and Luo have also been recognized with the Liu Shu-Sheng Award, which honors outstanding contributions in the fields of power systems and grid engineering. Their combined expertise positions Relectrify to deliver the AC1, and its dramatically better performance, to Taiwanese businesses seeking better energy storage solutions.
At the core of Relectrify's offering in Taiwan is the AC1 BESS, which is now available for order, with first deliveries to be made in early 2026. The AC1 is a 250 kW / 1,000 kWh inverterless AC battery that delivers 20% more energy to a customer over its lifetime, dramatically improving the economics for battery energy storage. At the same time, the AC1 is lower cost, more reliable, more compact and is easier and less expensive to install and maintain, compared to conventional systems. This is all achieved because the AC1 is built with Relectrify's novel, proprietary CellSwitch® technology that extracts more energy from battery strings and eliminates the need for inverters, producing grid-compliant Alternating Current (AC) directly from the battery pack, resulting in smaller, simpler and lower cost battery systems.

Taiwanese industry plays a big role in bringing the AC1 to market. The AC1's proprietary electronics are manufactured in Taiwan, and the system is assembled locally in Taiwan.
"Relectrify's innovative battery technology is a perfect fit for Taiwan's evolving energy landscape," said Wang. "By significantly extending battery life in an all-round better product, we can help businesses make the most of their energy storage investments while supporting Taiwan's transition to a more resilient and sustainable energy system."
"We are excited to introduce Relectrify to Taiwan", said Jeff Renaud, CEO, Relectrify. "The AC1's unique architecture translates into shorter payback periods and better energy storage investment returns. With it, we are ready to give Taiwanese businesses a new tool to reduce their energy costs".
