Frequently asked questions
Can you estimate savings without a site visit?
An initial scenario can indicate scale. A defensible proposal needs verified tariffs, demand, equipment scope and operating assumptions.
Does BESS replace every generator or UPS?
No. Duration, transfer time, recharge opportunity and critical-load requirements determine the architecture.
Is a solar and wind hybrid always better?
No. Wind must justify its additional equipment, structure, controls and maintenance.
Can I start without a finished specification?
Yes. Describe the operating problem and share the data you have; the assessment can identify the gaps.
