Frequently asked questions
Before You Request a Quote
What information is needed to size a C&I BESS?
Provide interval load data, peak demand, tariff periods, operating hours, critical loads, grid voltage and the required storage objective.
Can a C&I battery support peak shaving and backup?
Yes. Battery reserve, PCS rating and the EMS schedule can be configured to balance demand reduction with backup capacity.
When should a project consider liquid cooling?
Liquid cooling is commonly evaluated for higher energy density, demanding duty cycles and sites where tighter thermal control is required.
Which technical files can I send with an inquiry?
You can send electricity bills, interval load data, single-line diagrams, transformer data, site plans, photographs and the project schedule.
