California start-up Inlyte Energy has announced a key milestone in the development of its long-duration iron–sodium battery technology, completing a factory acceptance test for its first field-ready system at its facility near Derby, UK.

The test, witnessed by representatives from Southern Company – one of the major energy providers in the US – validated the performance and integration readiness of Inlyte’s battery system, which combines advanced sodium metal chloride cells with inverter and control electronics. The achievement marks a major step toward commercialization, the company said.
