A battery is not an energy asset so much as a flexibility asset, and flexibility is paid for in several markets at once. Getting the sizing right means deciding, up front, which of those markets the system is chasing and accepting the trade-offs that follow.
A one-hour system and a four-hour system with the same nameplate are different businesses. Short-duration assets chase frequency response and fast reserve, earn well when the grid is volatile, and cycle shallowly. Long-duration assets chase price spreads and capacity payments, cycle deeply, and degrade faster per year. We model both against your local market’s actual settlement data for the last three years before recommending a duration.
Degradation is a contract term, not a physical inevitability. Warrant the throughput you actually plan to use and the supplier will price the risk honestly.
Two identical installations can differ by a third in annual revenue purely on dispatch logic. We integrate an optimizer that bids into the markets available to you, respects the warranty’s cycling limits, and is retuned when market rules change — which, in every jurisdiction we work in, they do.
Behind the meter, the same hardware does a different job: shaving demand charges, backing up critical load, and letting an on-site solar array serve the evening peak. The design differs mainly in metering and in how the system decides what to serve first during an outage.
