What Is a C&I Energy Storage System?

A Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage System (C&I ESS) is a battery-powered solution that helps businesses manage electricity use more efficiently. By storing electricity during off-peak hours and releasing it when demand spikes, C&I ESS helps reduce energy costs, enhances grid reliability, and enables smooth integration with solar or wind power.

These systems typically incorporate:

Advanced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries

A Battery Management System (BMS)

Power Conversion Systems (PCS)

A Smart Energy Management System (EMS)

Data centers & telecom base stations

PV + ESS rooftop integrations

How to Choose the Right ESS for Your Project?


Key FactorRecommendation
Energy LoadIdentify peak demand, daily consumption, backup needs
System Size100–300kWh: Air-Cooled; 500kWh–5MWh+: Container or Liquid-Cooled
Site ConditionsConsider space, temperature, humidity
Usage GoalsCost saving, backup power, renewables integration
Future IntegrationAdd PV, EV chargers, or connect to VPP later
Safety StandardsEnsure compliance with CE, UN38.3, MSDS, 3C, IEC

System Lifespan & Performance

A premium commercial ESS typically operates for 10–15 years with 8,000+ cycles at 70% SOH.

Liquid-cooled models maintain performance under 24/7 or heavy-load use.

Long lifespan depends on proper EMS tuning, BMS monitoring, and regular system diagnostics.

Price Considerations

C&I ESS pricing varies based on capacity, cooling method, configuration, and installation complexity.For an accurate quotation, contact Dagong ESS with your specific project requirements.
