In a BESS market where success hinges on rapid, high-performance, and cost-effective deployment, the role of the system integrator has never been more critical.
German solar inverter manufacturer SMA has officially launched its system integrator subsidiary in Australia, with work underway on two battery storage projects.
Last summer, a Texas energy storage operator watched in frustration as their battery system missed a golden trading opportunity during a peak demand window.
The government of South Africa has secured nearly 1.7GW/11GWh of grid-scale BESS capacity via various procurement programmes, though questions remain around their integrity and deliverability.
Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.
