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)

How to Choose the Right ESS for Your Project?
Key Factor | Recommendation |
---|---|
Energy Load | Identify peak demand, daily consumption, backup needs |
System Size | 100–300kWh: Air-Cooled; 500kWh–5MWh+: Container or Liquid-Cooled |
Site Conditions | Consider space, temperature, humidity |
Usage Goals | Cost saving, backup power, renewables integration |
Future Integration | Add PV, EV chargers, or connect to VPP later |
Safety Standards | Ensure 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.
