Blue Nova

Founded in July 2015 by James Verster, the company embarked on an international search for reliable suppliers of high-performance storage components suited to the South African environment. After multiple visits to some of the largest production facilities in China—the world's leading exporter of lithium-ion components by volume—lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) was identified as the ideal chemistry for Southern African conditions. This choice was based on its high-power output, ultra-efficient charge and discharge capabilities, temperature resilience, and inherent safety features.
