Deeya has now raised $7.5 million for energy storage

Two weeks ago, we reported that Fremont's Deeya Energy, which is developing energy storage technologies with environmentally friendly materials, had raised $2.5 million of a possible $7.5 million round.

Now VentureWire (sub required) reports that it has completed that round. Backers are the same.

Initially, Deeya Energy intends to target power storage for solar and wind energy generation technologies. "These are going to be big batteries," [founder Saroj] Sahu said. "The size of these batteries, capacity-wise, will be several kilowatts, providing backup power for 8 to 16 hours."
