A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores excess electricity and makes it available when you need it - at night, during periods of low solar generation, or during a power outage.
BESS solutions can improve energy efficiency, reduce electricity costs, and provide greater energy resilience for solar power plants, commercial facilities, and grid-scale projects.
What is an Energy Storage System?
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores electrical energy in batteries and makes it available for use when needed - either within a facility or, where applicable, back to the electricity grid.
This is especially valuable for solar power plants, where peak energy production often does not coincide with peak consumption. BESS can be used to reduce costs, improve energy resilience, and make better use of renewable energy. BESS is used for:
Commercial & Industrial Facilities
To support reliable and uninterrupted operations
Solar & Wind Power Plants
To balance renewable energy generation
Grid-Scale Energy Systems
To support grid stability and balance supply and demand
Critical Infrastructure
To provide reliable backup power
Benefits of Energy Storage Systems
Energy storage helps you make better use of renewable energy, reduce electricity costs, improve energy resilience, and maintain a reliable power supply.
Key benefits include:

Types of Energy Storage
Depending on the application, required capacity, and power output, BESS solutions can be divided into several main categories:
Commercial & Industrial Systems
Ideal for medium-sized businesses, commercial facilities, hotels, and industrial sites. C&I systems store energy during lower-cost periods and discharge it during peak hours. They can also integrate with building management systems (BMS), reduce peak electricity demand, lower energy costs, and provide backup power for critical operations.
Utility-Scale Energy Storage Systems
Designed for large energy infrastructure, utility-scale solar and wind power plants, and energy companies. These megawatt- and gigawatt-scale systems connect directly to the electricity grid to help balance supply and demand, support grid frequency regulation, and improve grid stability.
Hybrid & Off-Grid Systems
A hybrid system combines solar panels, an inverter, battery storage, and the electricity grid into one integrated energy solution. It maximizes solar self-consumption and can provide backup power during grid outages. These systems are suitable for homes, small businesses, and remote facilities where reliable power is essential. Off-grid configurations can also provide power in locations without access to the central electricity grid.
In addition to scale, BESS systems are also divided according to where they are installed in relation to the electricity meter:
Behind-the-Meter Systems
Installed on the customer's side of the electricity meter, typically at homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. These systems can reduce energy costs, manage peak demand, and provide backup power.
Front-of-the-Meter Systems
Connected directly to the electricity grid and typically operated by utilities and energy companies to support grid stability, balance supply and demand, and manage grid frequency.
