Solar ESS and LiFePO4 storage batteries
Storage decides whether a solar installation performs or falls short. We design packs for self-consumption and ESS systems that cycle every day, with deep discharges and validation in a thermal chamber — not a catalogue average.
Daily cycling, not standby
A UPS battery discharges a few times a year. A self-consumption battery does it every day. They are two different products even when they share a voltage. In solar we work mainly LiFePO4 for cycles and thermal stability, and gel when the installation is more contained.
The inverter is already there: the pack adapts
The usual storage voltage is 48 V. The BMS has to talk to the equipment the customer already has. We work CANbus and RS-485 as the installation requires, and we design the connector and the pack around that inverter — not the other way around.
Frequently asked questions
What is a BESS and how is it different from a solar battery?
BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is the complete system: the storage bank, management and protection electronics, conversion and the control that decides when to charge and when to discharge. A “solar battery” usually means only the bank. ESS and BESS describe the same kind of storage installation; what changes the design is the load curve, not the acronym.
Why LiFePO4 for a solar installation?
If the installation cycles every day, LiFePO4 typically lasts on the order of 2,000 to 2,500 cycles versus 200–300 for lead-acid, and accepts deeper discharges without the same penalty. If it is occasional backup and budget leads, gel remains reasonable.
Are you compatible with Victron or SMA inverters?
We design the pack and the BMS to talk to the inverter the installation already has, via CANbus or RS-485. Victron and SMA are common in solar and hybrids; integration is defined by the protocol and the parameters that equipment asks for. We are not an official partner of those brands: the battery adapts to the inverter, not the other way around.
