Industry applications of C&I energy storage systems

Manufacturing facilities

High-load machinery and sensitive processes require constant, reliable energy. A BESS helps avoid costly production stops by covering peak demand periods and ensuring backup power during grid instability.

Warehousing and logistics centers

By lowering energy costs and enabling efficient EV fleet charging, industrial energy storage solutions offer real value for large-scale logistics sites. A BESS supports overnight operations, peak-load smoothing, and rapid charging during high-demand periods.

Commercial buildings

Retail chains, data centers, and office buildings can use commercial battery storage solutions to stabilize energy consumption, reduce peak tariffs, and support sustainability targets by integrating solar or other renewables.

Fleet depots

Electrified fleets need dependable charging infrastructure. A BESS delivers fast, efficient charging while easing demand on the local grid - making it ideal for truck, bus, and delivery depots.
