Commercial & Industrial ESS Solutions
Behind-the-meter energy storage for factories, warehouses and commercial sites — cut demand charges, add backup, and get more out of on-site solar.
Demand-charge controlModular cabinetsEMS-readyScalable
01The Challenge
The Challenge
Commercial and industrial sites face demand charges, tariff volatility and reliability risk that directly affect operating cost and uptime.
- Demand (capacity) charges dominate the electricity bill
- Peak tariffs make afternoon and evening operation expensive
- Power interruptions stop production and damage output
- On-site solar is often curtailed or exported at low value
02Solution Overview
How the System Works
The PCS charges the battery from solar or off-peak grid energy. The EMS continuously watches the site load and tariff, discharging during demand peaks to shave capacity charges and supplying critical loads during interruptions. Cabinets and racks are added as the site's needs grow.
1
Analyse
We review load curves, tariff structure and demand-charge exposure.
2
Deploy
Cabinet or rack-based storage is sized to the site and integrated with existing infrastructure.
3
Manage
The system shaves peaks, stores off-peak/solar energy and supports critical loads.
03System Architecture
Typical System Architecture
Behind the meter, storage sits on the same bus as the site loads. The PCS handles power conversion while the EMS runs peak-shaving and backup logic against the live tariff and load curve.
Typical C&I behind-the-meter topology: sources → PCS → BMS → battery cabinet → site and critical loads.

09FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does storage reduce demand charges?
The system discharges during demand peaks so less power is drawn from the grid at the moments that set the capacity charge.
Can it integrate with our existing solar?
Yes. Behind-the-meter storage can capture surplus solar for later use instead of exporting it at low value.
What size system do we need?
Sizing depends on your load profile and tariff. We model demand-charge exposure and recommend a configuration on request.
