C&I Storage
Commercial & Industrial Storage
Liquid-cooled outdoor storage cabinets and containerized BESS for peak shaving, demand response and microgrids — UL/CE certified engineering, OEM/ODM available.
C&I Energy Storage Systems Built for Peak Shaving & Demand Response
AURALIS commercial & industrial energy storage systems solve three core problems for facility operators: reducing demand charges through peak shaving, arbitraging peak-valley electricity price differences, and providing stable power for microgrid and off-grid industrial sites. Available in two form factors — outdoor liquid-cooled cabinets for small-to-mid-size projects, and containerized systems for larger C&I, microgrid and industrial park deployments — both built on the same certified battery safety architecture.

C&I Energy Storage — Case Studies
We don't yet have a published case study specific to the HC-261KWh cabinet or containerized system itself. Our companion BNSA-KS industrial DC-AC inverter, which pairs directly with C&I storage for microgrid/off-grid sites, does have a published reference project. See all projects for our full list of installations, or contact us to discuss reference sites for cabinet or containerized deployments.
Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from facility operators and EPC contractors evaluating cabinet and containerized systems.
Should I choose the liquid-cooled cabinet or the containerized system?
The HC-261KWh cabinet is the faster-to-deploy option for small-to-mid-size commercial and industrial projects, with minimal site prep. The containerized system (50kW–1,000kW, 10/20/40-ft) suits larger C&I projects, industrial parks and microgrids needing higher single-unit capacity and a self-contained fire safety envelope. Contact our engineering team if you're not sure which fits your project.
How does C&I storage reduce my demand charge?
The system charges during low-cost, low-demand periods and discharges during your facility's peak, flattening the demand curve that most commercial tariff structures use to calculate the single highest-charge period of the billing cycle.
Can the system scale as my facility's load grows?
Yes. Both the cabinet and containerized systems support modular parallel expansion, so a single cabinet today can become a multi-cabinet or multi-container system as your site's energy demand grows.
What fire safety measures are built into the containerized system?
Containerized systems include integrated gas fire suppression and carry a 2-hour fire rating, appropriate for industrial-park and microgrid projects where a self-contained fire safety envelope is required.
What certifications does the C&I storage line carry?
Every AURALIS C&I energy storage system is manufactured and independently certified to UL and CE battery safety standards.
Can C&I storage work at a site with no reliable grid connection?
Yes. For microgrid or fully off-grid industrial sites, pair with our BNSA industrial DC-AC inverter series to deliver stable power independent of the utility grid.
Is OEM/ODM customization available?
Yes. Factory-direct manufacturing with OEM/ODM customization is available for EPC contractors and system integrators.
