A battery storage system installed at your property provides backup power during outages, reduces the demand charges driving your electric bill, and in most structures is funded, installed, owned and maintained by a national energy company. If your building has meaningful electric demand, it may already qualify.
That is everything needed to start the review. No technical detail required from you.
Third-party owned, host-contributed, owner-financed, or space lease.
Commercial and industrial properties, with partners active nationwide.
Electric costs continue to rise. Outages interrupt operations, cost money, and leave tenants without power. Generators carry a capital cost, ongoing fuel and maintenance, and a permitting process that most owners put off indefinitely.
State and utility programs now let commercial buildings host advanced battery storage at no upfront cost. The equipment is funded, installed, owned and maintained by a national, multi-billion dollar energy company.
Depending on the property and the owner's priorities, the return comes as backup power, a monthly hosting fee, reduced operating costs, or a combination. For some buildings, the roof or parking area is worth leasing on top of that.
Every property is evaluated for battery storage. A smaller number also have leasable roof or parking area. Both are reviewed in the same assessment, from the same electric bill.
The system sits inside or beside your building, charges from the grid when electricity is cheapest, and discharges when it is most expensive or when the power goes out. No fuel, no emissions, no construction project.
Separate from storage, programs in a growing number of states let developers lease large commercial rooftops and parking areas for on-site generation. The power goes to the local grid, so it does not change how your building buys electricity.
Best fit: large flat roofs with meaningful remaining roof life, or large paved parking areas. Roof size, structure and condition are reviewed before anything is presented to a developer.
Any commercial or industrial property with meaningful electric demand is worth reviewing. The right answer depends on the size of the load, the type of energy the building consumes, and when it consumes it.
You do not need to know any of this going in. One recent electric bill tells me the load, the rate structure and the demand charges, which is enough to determine which structures apply to your property.
No technical knowledge of battery systems or energy markets is required on the owner's side.
One bill is enough to begin. I will identify exactly what is needed.
I obtain interval usage data, model savings and revenue potential, and confirm eligibility for state and grid-service programs, including whether the roof or lot qualifies for a lease. No cost or commitment.
I identify the right structure for the property and coordinate with the development partner through installation. If the property does not qualify, I say so directly.
In funded structures the energy company deploys all of the capital, equipment and ongoing maintenance, so the criteria are specific. Every property is screened before it is presented to a development partner.
Electric demand profile. The building needs a consistent pattern of meaningful usage. Interval data confirms whether the profile supports a system that can generate enough value.
Utility territory. The building must sit in a territory that supports the grid programs these systems participate in. Economics vary by region.
Physical space. A small outdoor area near your main electrical infrastructure, roughly one to two parking spaces on a concrete pad.
Zoning and code. The site must meet local setbacks and building codes. I review this upfront so there are no surprises later.
Commercial and industrial properties with meaningful electric demand. Warehouses, distribution centers, big-box retail and shopping centers are also the strongest candidates for a roof or lot lease.
Property types not listed here are also evaluated.
The first two questions owners ask are how much space it takes and whether it creates any risk.
Systems are compact and self-contained, typically installed on an outdoor concrete pad roughly the size of one to two parking spaces.
All deployed equipment meets or exceeds UL 9540 and UL 9540A certifications for fire safety and thermal runaway protection at the cell level.
Installations comply with NFPA 855 standards for stationary energy storage. All local permitting and coordination with code officials and fire marshals is handled for you.
All grid connections use IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 SB compliant smart inverters for safe, utility-approved operation.
