Negligible Degradation
Electrostatic storage stores energy without heat-producing chemical reactions. This means zero stress on materials and no measurable degradation for over 10 years in extreme field conditions.
WHY OUR SUPERCAPACITORS?
Go beyond Lithium Ion with Supercapacitor Energy Storage Systems from Wright Energy Storage Technologies.
The WEST Summit Series utilises our advanced Hybrid Supercapacitor storage technology. Benefits include negligible degradation over lifetime, ultra fast charge and discharge, no thermal runaway hazard, simple operation, practically unlimited cycles, −40°C to 65°C operating temperature and 97% round trip efficiency.
The Summit Series is specifically designed for a wide range of inverter or DC-based applications, including solar, backup, mobility, grid-storage, recreational and more.
SUMMIT WALL MOUNT
Solid state battery Capwall, a perfect option for household energy storage systems. Long life, stable performance, and rarely maintenance provide more benefits to end users.

The Science of Better Storage
Most battery technologies are electrochemical—they rely on chemical reactions to store energy. This process inherently generates heat, causes material stress, and leads to the "slow fade" of capacity over time. If a chemical battery gets too hot, it can enter "thermal runaway"—an exothermic fire that is virtually impossible to extinguish.
WEST technology is electrostatic. Electricity is stored as electricity, without chemical conversion. Because there is no chemical reaction, there is no heat generation, no fire risk, and no degradation associated with cycling. This allows for 100% usable capacity, ultra-fast charging, and a design life that spans decades rather than years.
“Because of the electrostatic nature of the WEST modules, our datasheets don’t show our ‘best case’, they reflect our ALWAYS case.”
No More Compromises — Unlike Lithium Ion…
Multiple Cycles Per Day
WEST systems can cycle more than twice per day without voiding the warranty. Conventional chemical battery warranties are often voided by over-cycling or limited to one cycle per day.
Field Serviceable
Every board and component can be replaced or serviced in the field with a small bag of parts and tools—assuring minimal downtime and a system life of 45+ years.
Seamless Scalability
Add additional storage capacity 5 or 10 years into the future without performance penalties. Unlike Li-ion, older WEST modules won't bottleneck new capacity.
Extreme Temperatures
Operates reliably from -40°C to +65°C without reduced performance or the need for parasitic heating/cooling loads that steal your stored power.
Autonomous Protection
Built-in IoT monitoring and autonomous protection features like soft-start and safe-connection checks ensure the system is always protected and balanced.
Smart Control & Monitoring
While the modules are designed to be autonomous and require zero periodic maintenance, they are also highly intelligent. Each WEST Supercapacitor module includes integrated IoT-enabled monitoring.
The free WEST mobile app puts real-time data right at your fingertips. Effortlessly monitor cycles, voltage, temperature, charge levels, currents, and overall health from anywhere, anytime. Our modules are designed to manage themselves, but we give you the transparency to see exactly or how they are performing.
