Alternative chemistries need real sites, not test benches.
The Accelerator places emerging storage technologies on scored, permitted, revenue-generating sites — and gives you the siting intelligence to find more of them.
What you get
A matched site
From the Gridspace pipeline — scored, permitted, with real load.
Platform access
The siting intelligence platform, so you can find the site types your chemistry wins on.
Marketplace listing
A vendor listing in front of every project sponsor on the platform.
The partner stack
Introductions to Storlytics for sizing and RakeML for monitoring.
Open-minded owners
Access to community and municipal owners who are more open to novel technology than commercial landlords.
A published record
Your system's performance, published — the reference sale every emerging chemistry needs.
The three-layer relationship, stated openly
You start as a platform customer, become a marketplace vendor, and compete for accelerator placement. Each layer is available on its own.
What we look for
- A UL 9540 pathway, or a credible plan to one.
- A fielded prototype.
- A chemistry with a site-type advantage — footprint, thermal tolerance, indoor viability, flood tolerance, fire profile.
- A team that will answer a fire marshal's questions.
Cohort structure, timeline, and terms
Apply
The full application (spec §3.10) covers chemistry, TRL, UL 9540/1973 status, fielded deployments, footprint, temperature range, fire profile, and target site types. Start with the short form — we follow up for the rest.
