Battery storage: independent advisory, not an equipment vendor.

Sizing, use cases, revenue mechanisms and integrator tenders — we help you choose and negotiate, never to sell.

BESS — Reid Gardner, Nevada

The battery storage market attracts as many integrators as dispatch-software vendors — each with a solution to sell. Our role: help you decide if, how and with whom to invest, without ever being party to the sale.

What we assess for you

C&I / Industrial

Behind-the-meter storage

Peak shaving, tariff optimization, resilience to outages — we quantify the potential before any tender.

  • Power / energy / C-rate sizing
  • Tariff and demand-charge analysis
  • Grid resilience study
Hybrid PV+BESS

Solar and storage coupling

Co-located storage turns an intermittent PV asset into dispatchable capacity — we assess the real capture uplift.

  • AC vs DC coupled architectures
  • Expected capture rate
  • Bankability of the coupling
Ancillary services

FCR, aFRR, capacity mechanism

Stacking several revenues on one asset requires arbitrating between them — we model the optimal mix.

  • Balancing-market pre-qualification
  • Stacked revenue arbitrage
  • Historical replay simulation
Tender

Integrator selection

Technical specifications, objective bid evaluation, contract negotiation — you stay in control, we guarantee neutrality.

  • Detailed technical specifications
  • Selection matrix
  • Selection criteria
  • Performance guarantee review

Frequently asked questions

Do you sell batteries or turnkey integrations?

No. We have no capital or commercial ties with any manufacturer, integrator or EPC. Our compensation is exclusively client fees.

What is the typical duration of a storage engagement?

3 to 8 months depending on scope — from a quick sizing audit to a full owner's-engineer mandate through commissioning.

Can you assess a project already proposed by an integrator?

Yes — this is a frequent request. We challenge the sizing, business case and contractual terms of a received proposal, fully independently.

Do you work on non-lithium-ion technologies (flow, iron-air)?

Yes, wherever relevant to the client's profile — we remain technology-agnostic.

Ready to scope your first engagement?

A short conversation is enough to assess the relevance of an audit.
