Battery energy storage

Power for when your business needs it most.

Manage your electricity use with the help of a battery energy storage system by storing energy from the grid or from renewables, such as solar.

How battery energy storage systems work

One of the easiest ways to understand a battery energy storage system is to think of a rechargeable battery. Just like your phone or laptop’s battery stores power when it’s charging to use later, these systems store electricity from the grid or solar so it's there to use when you need it.

Innovating with energy storage

Toronto Paramedic Services Station

Toronto Paramedic Services is an essential service available 24/7. It’s critical that their power remains on in order to ensure they’re always ready to serve the emergency medical needs of Toronto residents and visitors.

We worked with the City of Toronto to install a combined solar and energy storage system at a Toronto Paramedic Services Station.

The system stores clean electricity that’s used to power the station during outages, helping to reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions.
