Viridi, the provider of battery energy storage systems (BESS), in partnership with McKinstry, a provider of high-performing building solutions, has announced the successful deployment of its RPSLinkEX energy storage solution at the Denver Public Library.
According to Viridi, the project marks a first-of-its-kind Solar and Battery Energy Storage System for the city and counties of Denver.
Unlike traditional lithium-ion systems that carry inherent fire risk, Viridi’s proprietary anti-propagation technology has been designed to eliminate the potential for thermal propagation events.
The Denver Public Library required an energy solution that could deliver meaningful sustainability and cost savings while maintaining the highest standards of safety for its staff, visitors and critical infrastructure.
Viridi’s behind-the-meter RPSLinkEX system delivers on that need, as it is designed to capture excess solar energy for use during non-solar hours, reducing peak demand and providing dependable backup power during outages, all while meeting Denver’s fire safety standards.
Jon M. Williams, CEO at Viridi said: “Public facilities like the Denver Public Library are at the forefront of demonstrating that energy resilience and safety can go hand in hand.
“This installation highlights how fail-safe battery storage can empower communities to maximize renewable energy, reduce costs, and maintain reliability—all without compromise.”
With installation led by McKinstry, the Denver Public Library’s new RPSLinkEX energy storage system is fully integrated into its existing infrastructure and monitored through Viridi’s ViSTA Dashboard.
Jon Ensley, Sr. Construction Project Engineer at McKinstry added: “The entire McKinstry team is very excited about developing and constructing the first Solar + BESS project for the City and County of Denver.
“We are appreciative of all our partners and stakeholders who helped to achieve this goal. We value Viridi’s expertise in deploying this technology and the whole team has been great to work with.”
