August 3, 2023: Hoppecke lead battery tech has been supplied to power a solar-storage facility in Brazil’s Amazonas state.

Germany-based Hoppecke said on July 4 the project in the country’s northwest is one of a number launched by Brazil’s government to boost power supplies in isolated parts of the country.

Hoppecke delivered its sun-power VL 2-350 vented lead acid batteries that are at the heart of the SIGFI-system (individual electricity generation systems with intermittent sources).

In January, Hoppecke announced that its newly launched batteries production plant in Poland  secured ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification for quality and environmental management.

Poznan is home to the manufacture of Hoppecke’s latest pure lead AGM batteries series, where production was launched in spring 2022.
