Advanced Battery Storage, Simplified
From consultation to installation in under 100 days
What is BESS?
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are large-scale batteries that store low-cost off-peak energy and release it during high-demand periods. Think of it as a massive power bank for your school—charging when electricity is cheap, and powering your facilities when rates are high.
The Technology
- Customisable & Scalable: Sized appropriately for primary, prep, or secondary
- Smart Integration: Compatible with solar PV, diesel generators, and EV charging infrastructure
- Safety First: Advanced monitoring systems prevent issues like overheating
- Proven Reliability: Industrial-grade systems designed for educational environments
