Denver Public Library equips new solar power and energy storage technology
In a groundbreaking move, the City of Denver has partnered with Viridi and McKinstry to deploy a solar and battery storage system at the Denver Public Library. This project, the city's first-ever solar + battery storage system, is setting a new benchmark for cities combining renewable energy and battery storage without compromising safety.
The project prioritises meeting city fire safety standards and addressing public fears about lithium-ion battery fires. Viridi's RPSLinkEX battery solution, with its unique passive Fail-Safe thermal management technology, plays a crucial role in this undertaking.
Developed by Viridi themselves, the passive safety thermal management technology is designed to prevent thermal runaway that leads to lithium-ion battery fires. This technology reduces dependence on active fire suppression systems like sprinklers or fire extinguishers, making the system safer for deployment in occupied buildings or near critical infrastructure.
Jon Ensley, Sr. Construction Project Engineer at McKinstry, appreciates Viridi's expertise in deploying this technology. He states that the latest solar project sets a new benchmark for cities combining renewable energy and battery storage without compromising safety.

Viridi's RPSLinkEX building systems are designed to meet the needs of city planners and politicians, rather than educating them about the safety of lithium-ion batteries. The systems are tailored to help communities adopt cleaner, more resilient clean energy solutions sooner rather than later.
McKinstry is excited about developing and constructing the first Solar + BESS project for the City and County of Denver. They believe this collaboration with Viridi and the Denver Public Library will pave the way for more sustainable energy solutions in the future.
The Denver Public Library project is a testament to the strides being made in the realm of clean energy. As more cities follow suit, we can look forward to a future powered by renewable energy sources that prioritise safety and efficiency.
