Battery Storage Engineering Services

Energy storage commissioning projects don’t succeed with a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why our engineering team tackles every BESS project from multiple angles—electrical, structural, civil, and controls—ensuring each energy storage system delivers exactly what your operation demands with flexible energy storage design. We offer multi-disciplinary engineering and design services that integrate and deliver optimized results customized to our clients’ needs and objectives. Our major BESS-as-a-Services include:

Shadow Analysis

Our crew of electrical specialists doesn’t just “install systems”—we engineer the backbone that keeps renewable energy humming. From grid-scale storage to smart grid integration, every solution is about squeezing the most out of clean power while keeping the grid steady and resilient.

We’ve handled everything—tiny 50kWh commercial builds and sprawling multi-megawatt utility setups—and the funny thing is, the size never changes our approach. Each project gets the same obsessive attention to detail, the same care in planning, and the same drive to make sure it runs flawlessly. Because at the end of the day, energy isn’t just numbers and kilowatt-hours. It’s trust, reliability, and building systems that don’t just work—they endure.

BESS Civil

Site prep is everything — the messy, loud, early work that decides whether a BESS will sing or sputter. We clear, cut, compact; we wrestle drainage and access into behaving. Environmental regs? We chase them, nest protections into dirt and concrete, think decades ahead. Foundations that feel simple on the surface but are actually overbuilt, thought-through, stubbornly reliable.

Grading

Site preparation and earthwork optimized for equipment access

Stormwater Design

Comprehensive drainage systems that protect equipment while meeting regulations

Permitting Support

Environmental permitting and regulatory compliance coordination

BESS Structural

Our structural team locks electrical demands and civil realities in the same room and refuses to let them argue for long. We sketch foundations that pinch steel and concrete where we can and armor the rest where we must. One morning it’s a shallow pad; by noon it’s piles and grout because the soil decided to keep secrets. We read a site’s mood — slope, pipe clutter, surprise water — and give the blunt, smartest recommendation. Efficient, stubborn, occasionally messy, always built to keep the batteries humming.

 OUR BESS SYSTEM DESIGN SERVICES INCLUDE:

✓ Structural Analysis and Design: Load calculations accounting for seismic, wind, and thermal conditions.

✓ Foundation Design: Optimized designs that minimize material costs while ensuring stability.

✓ Equipment Rack Design: Custom mounting solutions for battery modules and auxiliary equipment.

✓ Fence Details and Foundation Design: Perimeter security infrastructure for your site requirements.

SCADA Integration for BESS

Modern BESS setups? Forget “plug it in and walk away.” These beasts demand brains behind the batteries—control systems sharp enough to juggle charging cycles, grid tie-ins, all those invisible handshakes that make the grid behave.

And that’s where our control engineers step in. They don’t just wire things together—they sculpt intelligence into the system. One line of code, one calibration, one decision at a time. Always pushing performance to the edge, always reining it in before safety even thinks about blinking.

And the payoff? Storage that doesn’t just hoard electrons in the dark. It kicks in when the grid wobbles, balances the flow when demand spikes, and keeps energy moving steady. Stronger grid. Smarter grid. A network you can actually rely on when it counts.

Standalone BESS

Grid operators need more flexibility, and that’s exactly what standalone battery storage is built to do. Think of it as a giant backup system—taking in extra renewable energy when there’s plenty to go around, and sending it back when the grid is stretched thin. It’s a simple way to keep power steady and make clean energy more practical.

What makes our systems different? They don’t just sit there holding energy. They actually work for you. They can help balance the grid, qualify for payments, and even create new revenue streams while keeping everything stable. So you’re not just supporting renewable energy—you’re turning it into a real advantage for your business.

PV BESS

Solar energy without storage is like having a Ferrari without a gas tank: impressive potential, but limited practical value. Our solar-plus-storage integrations solve the intermittency challenge by capturing excess solar production and deploying it when the sun goes down or clouds roll in.

The key decision every solar+storage project faces: AC or DC coupling? Our bess design engineers analyze your specific operational requirements, existing infrastructure, and future expansion plans to determine the most cost-effective approach. We've saved clients thousands in equipment costs by choosing the right coupling strategy upfront.

Industrial BESS

Manufacturing and industrial facilities have it tough—energy costs can eat into margins fast, sometimes making the difference between profit and loss. That’s where our industrial BESS solutions step in, built to tackle the real pain points: steep demand charges, power quality issues, and keeping operations steady when outages hit.

What makes our approach different? We don’t force you into our system—we fit into yours. Our engineers design storage that works with the controls you already rely on. So whether you’re running nonstop chemical production or balancing peaks in automotive manufacturing, the battery system supports your operation instead of getting in the way.

Project Lifecycle Management

Energy storage projects can be a bit of a circus—lots of parts moving at once, different people trying to stay on the same page, and rules that never seem to stay the same from one place to the next. That’s why we keep our approach simple: no surprises.

We’ll keep you in the loop the whole way. You’ll get updates you can actually understand, clear milestones to show where things stand, and a quick heads-up if anything looks like it might affect time or budget. Our project managers have done this so many times they know what bumps to expect—and how to smooth them out before they become problems. The result? A project that feels a whole lot easier than you thought it would.

Applications of Exactus Energy's BESS Solutions

The versatility of modern Battery storage technologies means virtually any industry can benefit from strategic energy storage. Here's how our solutions adapt to different applications:

Commercial & Industrial Applications

Your facility isn’t like anyone else’s, so your storage system shouldn’t be either. Every business has its own energy story—when you use the most, where the spikes happen, what keeps things running.

We take the time to study that story. By looking at your history, your peak hours, and the way your operations actually work, we design a BESS that fits you perfectly. One that cuts waste, saves money, and gives you the best return on your investment.

Typical commercial applications include:

  • Demand charge reduction for manufacturing facilities

  • Backup power solutions for critical operations (data centers, healthcare)

  • Peak Shaving and Load shifting for facilities with time-of-use rates.

  • Power quality improvement for sensitive equipment

Utility-Scale Battery Storage

Grid-scale storage isn’t just “bigger batteries.” It’s a whole different game. Utility clients need muscle—systems that can regulate frequency, back up reserves on a dime, even jumpstart the grid when it goes dark.

That’s why we design BESS that do more than hold energy. They step in, stabilize, and keep the grid balanced when it matters most. Storage that’s not passive, but active—an engine of reliability for the entire network.

UTILITY-SCALE POWER SYSTEMS DESIGN CAPABILITIES:

  • Co-location with solar farms for enhanced efficiency

  • Multi-megawatt systems with modular expansion options

  • Advanced control systems for grid service participation

  • Integration with existing transmission infrastructure

Autonomous Microgrid Energy Systems for Resilient Power

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t just shaving costs—it’s cutting the cord altogether. Full energy independence. That’s where our microgrid BESS designs come in.

We tie together multiple generation sources, layer in intelligent load management, and the result is power that doesn’t flinch. Campuses, communities, remote facilities—systems built to stay resilient no matter what the grid throws at them.

Why does this matter? Because when Hurricane Sandy knocked out power for millions, facilities with properly designed microgrids kept running. That’s the kind of resilience our engineering delivers.

Component Partnerships

We maintain strategic relationships with tier-one battery manufacturers, but we’re not tied to any single vendor. This independence means you get the best technology for your specific application, not whatever one manufacturer happens to be pushing this quarter.

Our current technology partnerships span lithium-ion solutions from industry leaders as well as emerging technologies like sodium-ion batteries for specific applications.

Future-Proof Design Philosophy

Energy tech doesn’t sit still—it’s sprinting. The BESS we put in the ground today has to be ready for a grid that looks completely different tomorrow, with new demands, new strategies, new ways of managing power.

That’s why we don’t lock systems in stone. We design them with room to grow, space to evolve, and the bones to handle upgrades that haven’t even hit the market yet. Future-proof, adaptable, always a step ahead of what the grid will throw at it.

And here’s something most engineering firms won’t tell you, we design every system assuming you’ll want to expand it eventually. Because in our experience, successful BESS installations almost always lead to additional energy storage investments.
