Stuart Lennox, CTO. Stuart is the creator of the LibertyPak and Ojai Energy Systems core technology and suite of products. The genius behind his innovation comes from the intelligent chip boards, circuitry, cell configuration and lithium ferrous phosphate chemistry that he has pioneered, developed, integrated and perfected over the past nine years. In 2002, Stuart formed the company LibertyPak, to design, produce and sell a line of portable energy storage and management devices for the camera and motion picture/television and lighting industries. With his extensive movie industry experience, Stuart recognized the growing need in the industry for portable clean power for new production and post-production operations, optimizing and complimenting digital equipment advances, media deliverables (satellite up linking) and communication needs. His technological vision has paved the way for industry partnerships with Kino Flo and ARRI Lighting, and movie studios for reliable and durable power. In 2009, Stu’s vision expanded to include energy storage and management systems for residential and commercial applications in which renewable energy could be seamlessly integrated in conjunction with or independent of the grid. Together, the two product lines Stuart created provide the most efficient, energy dense, lightweight, non-toxic, intelligent and long lasting energy storage and management systems available in the global market today.
