Technical FAQs 4

How do I calculate the battery capacity of my solar system?

To calculate the required battery capacity of your solar system, you need two key pieces of information: energy consumption and days of autonomy. Follow these procedures: The power consumption of electric appliances and equipment is generally measured in watts. To calculate total energy consumption, multiply the watts by the hours of use.

What size battery energy storage container do I Need?

From small 20ft units powering factories and EV charging stations, to large 40ft containers stabilizing microgrids or utility loads, the right battery energy storage container size can make a big difference.

What is a battery energy storage container?

A well-structured battery energy storage container optimizes internal airflow, reduces cable loss, and ensures better thermal control. For example, two 40ft BESS containers with the same capacity can perform very differently depending on their internal configuration.

How do I choose a containerized energy storage system?

The most common standards are: Choosing between these sizes depends on project needs, available space, and future scalability. Regardless of format, each containerized energy storage system includes key components such as battery racks, BMS, EMS, cooling, and fire protection.
