People, Planet Profit – never before has our company slogan been as relevant as now, in times of COVID-19. Our core motivation in BOS is to help people live better lives, protecting the environment and strengthening economies at the same time.
And more than ever we want to do this with you, as partners, giving each other strength. Together we can get through this situation. And the best is: We can do this by helping others getting through it.
In BOS we keep up our work. We have developed the following action packages.

Power Storage in Honduras

An article about our major Honduras project appeared in the latest issue of the environmental magazine of the VDI Fachmedien. There you can read how it all began, which hurdles had to be overcome and what was finally achieved. BOS now supplies remote hotels and town halls on paradisiacal islands in Honduras with hybrid storage systems. On the Bay Islands, “HS business 10” storage units have been installed and provide a reliable power supply. With the support of dena (German Energy Agency) in the RES (renewalbe energy solutions) programme, we are helping to take one of the least electrified regions in Latin America a step further and thus to promote the economy and development.

German Innovation Award 2019

We congratulate our partner Hymer on winning the German Innovation Award 2019 in the “Excellence in Business to Business” category. The HYMER-Smart-Battery-System convinced the jury as a innovative solution for energy storage in leisure vehicles. The batteries enable “weight saving of at least 5 kg with almost double the capacity “, according to the jury. A unique solution in which energy is stored in both lithium and lead acid batteries and their load distribution is intelligently regulated. The BOS Lithium Extension Batteries LE300 modules are the main component of the HYMER-Smart-Battery-System.

BOS AG: Myanmar Li + Pb Mini-Grid

BOS AG (Balance of Storage Systems AG) are a supplier of products and services for off-grid energy solutions. Based in Neu-Ulm near Munich in Germany and founded in 2014, the aim of this young company is to become a leader in decentralised energy supply. Their focus is on Li-Pb (lithium-lead) hybrid charging technology for solar systems which support intelligent load management. As BOS use Victron Energy products in their systems it was good to hear from one of their staff and to gain insight into how Victron products are integrated into their solutions. My thanks to Bob Hopman of Victron Energy for making me aware of this project. Here then is a guest blog, by Veeresh Anehosur of BOS, about a mini-grid on Kenti island in the Mergui Archipelago.

Because of the LE300 hybrid system, Peter Reinmann is able to enjoy longer trips on the water without returning for recharge.

LE300 on a north-cup rally

Driving from Lake Constance, over Russia to the North Cape and back, was a special experience for our BOS Electronic Developer Lars and his team Schwabenstahl Volvo Power. With temperatures down to -27°C the Baltic Sea Circle Winter Edition was probably the coldest rally in the world. Additionally, being on road with more than 20 years old Volvos, without any GPS and no highways allowed, the rally had his challenges. For 16 days the cars became their chosen transport and homes. But especially at this trip, there was not completely everything old fashioned.
