SES AI’s UZ Energy Becomes Sol-Ark® Certified Battery Partner

Key Terms

li-metal technical

Lithium metal is the elemental form of lithium used as a lightweight, highly reactive material in batteries and specialty industrial applications. It matters to investors because batteries that use lithium metal can store more energy in the same size or weight—like swapping a small fuel tank for a bigger one—potentially boosting electric vehicle range and lowering costs, which affects manufacturers, raw-material suppliers and the broader clean-energy supply chain.

lithium iron phosphate technical

A lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery is a type of rechargeable lithium-ion battery that uses iron and phosphate in its positive electrode, offering a safer, longer‑lasting but lower energy‑density alternative to some other lithium chemistries. Investors watch LFP because it tends to cost less, resists fire and aging better, and relies on different raw materials and supply chains—factors that influence product pricing, manufacturing costs, and market adoption in electric vehicles and energy storage.

closed-loop communication technical

Closed-loop communication is a two-way exchange where the sender gives an instruction, the receiver repeats it back to confirm understanding, and the sender verifies correctness—like reading back a recipe step to make sure both people are on the same page. For investors, it matters because this method reduces mistakes, improves operational reliability and regulatory compliance, and lowers the risk of costly errors or liability that can affect a company’s performance and reputation.

hybrid inverter technical

A hybrid inverter is a device that converts electricity from solar panels or batteries into the form used by homes and the grid while managing multiple sources—solar, battery storage and the utility connection—so power flows where it’s most needed. Think of it as a smart traffic controller for electricity that decides when to use, store or sell power; investors care because it affects a system’s reliability, operating costs, revenue potential and regulatory flexibility.

Positions UZ Energy to Compete for Battery Sales Within Sol-Ark® Eco-System

Three UZ Energy Low-Voltage Residential Batteries Certified for Closed-Loop Compatibility

US Energy Distributors Named Master Distributor and Primary U.S. Contact for UZ Energy

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SES AI Corporation (“SES AI”) (NYSE: SES), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of AI-enhanced high-performance Li-Metal and Li-ion batteries, today announced that UZ Energy, an SES AI company, has become a Sol-Ark® certified battery partner and has named US Energy Distributors as the master distributor for UZ Energy’s battery products in the United States.

With this certification, UZ Energy is positioned to compete for battery sales within an established market from the outset and to capture market share as Sol-Ark installers, distributors, and customers evaluate new certified energy-storage configurations.

“Expanding UZ Energy’s presence in the United States is an important part of SES AI’s energy storage strategy,” said Dr. Qichao Hu, SES AI founder and CEO. “Certification with Sol-Ark connects UZ Energy to a large and established residential energy storage ecosystem and creates an immediate path to compete for U.S. battery sales. This certification also provides installers and distribution partners access to a broader range of integrated storage configurations while supporting the continued commercial growth of the UZ Energy platform.”

UZ Energy will be listed under Sol-Ark® low voltage (48V) certified battery partners. UZ Energy’s three low-voltage residential batteries are certified for closed-loop compatibility with the Sol-Ark 12K-2P-LL, 15K-2P and 18K-2P Hybrid Inverters. The certification combines Sol-Ark’s hybrid inverter technology and established installer ecosystem with UZ Energy’s lithium iron phosphate battery systems, creating additional residential energy-storage configurations for installers, distributors and homeowners across the United States.

Sol-Ark has established a substantial U.S. residential energy-storage ecosystem spanning its hybrid inverters, certified battery partners, distributors and installer network. The certified UZ Energy residential battery portfolio includes: UZ Energy L051100-B 5.12kWh Power Lite Series; UZ Energy PLPA-L1-10K2-U Power Lite Plus Series; and UZ Energy IG-16K-U 16kWh Power Lite Plus Series. The certification follows technical integration testing of the UZ Energy battery platform, including closed-loop communication, operating performance and protection functionality.
