Fire safety
Leading the industry in safety standards
Valo's GridSolve™ portfolio integrates advanced fire prevention, mitigation, and operational intelligence to protect assets, communities, and long-term project value.
Safety built-in
Valo's energy storage systems are engineered with safety at their core, setting new benchmarks for the industry. From rigorous testing to proactive community engagement, we lead with responsibility, innovation, and transparency.
- Built-in fire and explosion mitigation
- 24/7 system monitoring
- Automatic anomaly detection
Where safety is the standard, not the feature
High-density Quantum3 architecture
Our high-density AC block system includes string-level power conversion and rack-level control, enabling precise thermal and electrical management.
Fire and explosion mitigation
Each unit is equipped with our proprietary Active Ignition Mitigation System (AIMS) (i.e., sparker system) that works in conjunction with door-mounted deflagration panels.
Cybersecure battery management
Valo's proprietary Battery Management System (BMS), Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and PCS ensure safe operation through real-time diagnostics, cell balancing, fault isolation, and much more.
Low-GWP cooling systems
Our sustainable thermal design minimises environmental impact while maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
Built-in anomaly detection
GEMS Pulse provides built-in analytics to detect early signs of thermal anomalies, such as cell temperature deviations, allowing proactive intervention.
24/7 diagnostics and monitoring
Around-the-clock remote diagnostics and rapid-response protocols ensure issues are identified and addressed before escalation.
Trust through transparency
Independent oversight
Testing is conducted with independent consultants, insurers, fire authorities, and customers, with a strong emphasis on transparency.
Rigorous testing and validation
Our latest tests align with the published C800:2025 standard, setting new safety benchmarks for energy storage systems in 2026.
Exceeds UL 9540A standards
Valo conducts large-scale fire testing that simulates worst-case scenarios, going beyond UL 9540A standards - demonstrating our strong commitment to safety.
Multiple large-scale fire tests (LSFTs)
We have completed four LSFTs across our Quantum product portfolio with each one demonstrating no unit-to-unit propagation under extreme conditions.
Explosion testing
To validate our integrated explosion control systems, we've conducted explosion testing using explosive gas mixtures - advancing safety standards and demonstrating the BESS's ability to mitigate deflagration during abnormal thermal events.
