How it connects
How battery storage connects to a site
Storage changes how a site's solar, grid connection, switchgear, gensets, chargers and software behave, so we design them together.
The connections around the battery
LFP battery racks with a BMS, a power conversion system (PCS) and an energy management system (EMS) that decides when to charge and discharge.

Solar & wind
HYBRID PCS · TIME-SHIFT
Store midday solar for use after sunset. Existing plants can be retrofitted.
Grid & DISCOM
PEAK SHAVING · TOD TARIFFS
Stay inside contract demand and move consumption out of peak tariff windows.
Generator sets
HYBRID CONTROL · FEWER STARTS
The battery covers short outages and light loads, so the genset starts less often.
EV charging
DC FAST · 2W/3W · FLEET AC
A battery buffers fast chargers so they can share a smaller grid connection.
Site loads
CRITICAL BACKUP · POWER QUALITY
Keep critical loads running through outages and dips, where the system is designed and approved to island.
Monitoring & EMS
ENERGY 107 · SOC · ALARMS
Energy 107 tracks charge, temperature and alarms, runs the schedule and produces the reports.
01 · Solar & wind
Solar and wind with storage
Storage moves midday solar into the peak tariff windows. A CEA advisory asks solar projects to co-locate storage of at least 10% of installed capacity, for at least 2 hours.
What we do
- Storage retrofits for existing solar (AC-coupled)
- New hybrid solar plants (DC-coupled)
- Storage for repowered and hybrid wind sites

02 · Grid & tariffs
Grid connection and tariffs
A behind-the-meter battery is judged against your tariff: time-of-day windows, 15-minute demand charges and power-factor limits.
What we do
- Tariff and 15-minute load analysis
- Contract-demand review and applications
- DISCOM and Electrical Inspectorate liaison
Source: TNERC, Tariff Order No. 6 of 2025 (opens in a new tab) (30 June 2025, effective 1 July 2025).
03 · Switchgear & protection
Transformers, switchgear and metering
Storage and fast chargers change what transformers, panels, protection relays and meters must handle.
What we do
- Single-line diagram and load checks
- Protection study and relay coordination
- Transformer, panel and meter supply and installation
04 · Generator sets
Generator sets with storage
A battery covers short outages and light loads, so the diesel or gas genset starts less often and runs at a healthier load.
What we do
- Genset log, fuel and loading audit
- Hybrid control: battery first, genset assist
- ATS, changeover and synchronising-panel rework
05 · EV charging
Battery-buffered EV charging
A battery absorbs the peaks of fast chargers, so they can run on a smaller grid connection.
What we do
- Charging site design and EPC
- Battery-buffered fast charging
- Charger O&M, AMC, audits and upgrades
06 · Critical loads
Critical loads and power quality
Batteries respond in milliseconds, so critical loads ride through dips and outages, where the system is designed and approved to island.
What we do
- UPS + BESS architecture
- Islanding, transfer and load-shedding design
- Power-quality study: dips, harmonics, flicker, power factor
07 · Monitoring & EMS
Monitoring and energy management
Energy 107, our monitoring and energy-management layer, brings battery, solar, genset, meter and charger data into one view and runs the schedule.
We report energy and emissions data; we do not promise carbon credits or "net zero".
What we do
- Dispatch schedules and demand limits
- Monthly performance and M&V reports
- Energy data for ESG reporting
08 · Safety & compliance
Safety and compliance
From 1 April 2027, the CEA's battery-storage safety chapter applies to systems connected above 650 V, including an independent third-party fire-safety audit.
We prepare you for the independent fire-safety audit. We do not act as the auditor.
What we do
- CEA 2027 readiness reviews for new and existing BESS
- Hazard review and emergency response plans
- Operator and staff training

09 · O&M
O&M and AMCs
One maintenance contract across battery, chargers, solar and controls, so one team looks after the whole site.
What we do
- Remote monitoring and alarm response
- Preventive and corrective maintenance
- Monthly reports and compliance records
10 · Second life & recycling
Second life and recycling
Under the Battery Waste Management Rules 2022, producers of storage batteries carry extended producer responsibility for collection and recycling, and waste batteries can't be landfilled or incinerated.
Second life isn't always right. We'll tell you when recycling is the better answer.
What we do
- End-of-life and take-back plans in contracts
- State-of-health testing: second life or recycling
- Coordination with registered recyclers and refurbishers
Source: CPCB, Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 (opens in a new tab) (22 August 2022 (amended 2025)).
11 · Microgrids
Solar, storage and genset microgrids
Harbours, estates, telecom sites and islands often run on diesel. Solar, storage and the genset under one controller can cut that fuel use.
What we do
- Microgrid design with grid-forming PCS
- Genset integration and fuel planning
- Remote monitoring with local service
12 · Ways to pay
Buy, lease or pay monthly
Since September 2025, consumers may own, lease or operate energy storage, so service models sit alongside outright purchase.
What we do
- Capex EPC
- Storage-as-a-service
- BOO / BOOT
- Shared savings
