Trojan Battery Company, a manufacturer of deep-cycle batteries, launched the “Reliability in Focus” photo contest to celebrate the company’s history of providing battery backup power solutions for renewable energy applications. The grand prize winner will receive an iPad 2.
“Rapid growth in renewable energy worldwide has triggered an increased demand for battery technology that supports the unique requirements of renewable energy and backup power solutions. Because Trojan batteries have been used in renewable energy systems for many years, we want to celebrate this history by recognizing applications featuring our battery systems,” said Bryan Godber, vice president of renewable energy. “The photo contest is a way for the public to show us, and the world, how Trojan batteries are being used in unique renewable energy applications.”
Submissions for “Reliability in Focus” photo contest must feature the use of Trojan deep-cycle batteries as part of a renewable energy system. The contest will run from today to Oct. 31, 2011.
