Kilowatt Labs Sirius energy storage modules are the world's first Supercapacitor based energy storage system. Sirius energy storage modules are non-toxic and non-volatile and can be implemented as a like for like replacement for chemical batteries for wireless operators, data centers and renewable energy based systems.
CIC is a certified distributor and reseller of Kilowatt Labs products in the USA. CIC designs and implements energy storage and power management solutions that deliver unprecedented performance across a broad range of industrial, commercial and residential applications. Sirius Energy Storage provides a safer, and better storage alternative to chemical batteries.
Sirius Supercapacitor Energy Storage offers superior advantages for wireless communication sites for less than half the cost of chemical solutions over their usable life.

Sirius Supercapacitors offer unprecedented performance.
- Can be deployed at any scale and in any location, independent of or connected to available infrastructure.
- When deployed in remote locations with no or poor grid access, can supply electricity from 100% renewable generation, reducing or eliminating dependency on fossil fuel-based generators.
- Can be deployed with any combination of generation sources from exclusively renewables to a combination of renewables and fossil fuel.
- Categorized as a long-term asset due to long cycle life of the storage.
- Delivers reliable and stable energy storage. In locations with grid access, can be deployed to reduce costs using time of use arbitrage. Syperior performance and cost savings make Supercapacitors the best choice for standby power for critical infrastructure such as wireless and data center applications etc.
