The ZBB EnerSection can be used with a variety of storage technologies, because the optimal solution for a given application may be a hybridized set of storage solutions. We work with numerous manufacturers of a variety of storage technologies to ensure delivery of the best platform,” said Eric Apfelbach, President and CEO.
