The new term is rising in Google search results: “BESS,” which stands for Battery Energy Storage System. When I used Google Trends to find related search terms for BESS, I found some important search terms that are very popular in this segment, such as “What is the full form of BESS?”, “BESS Companies in India,” “BESS Stocks,” “Solar and BESS,” and more. So, I thought I would write a BESS guide for you so that you can read it.
What is a Battery Energy Storage System?
A Battery Energy Storage System is a device that stores electrical energy in chemical form with the help of a battery, PCS/Inverter, EMS, Liquid Cooling System, Thermal Management System, Enclosure, and other components.
Which are the top 10 BESS companies in India?
Over the last one year, many companies have entered the BESS market in India and are working on residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale projects. Here, we are going to talk about one of the BESS solution provider brands in India that has been working in this segment for the last 8 years and is doing well.
Loom “BESS Manufacturers in India”
Loom is a Haryana-based hybrid solutions company and an 8-year-old brand in the solar and energy storage space. The company is working with homes and businesses across India. Loom has a wide range of BESS products, from 1kWh to 5MWh, and hybrid inverters ranging from 3kW to 125kW in single-phase and three-phase configurations. The company has a team of 500+ people, 30+ service engineers, 10+ people in R&D, and a network of 10,000+ channel partners across India.
BESS Product Range of Loom
Loom has its own BESS manufacturing plant in Faridabad with a capacity of 3 GWh. We manufacture a wide range of batteries, including Low Voltage and High Voltage batteries. In the battery range, our standard batteries include 1kWh (100Ah, 12.8V), 2kWh (100Ah, 25.2V), 5kWh (100Ah, 51.2V), 10kWh (200Ah, 51.2V), and 16kWh (314Ah, 51.2V). This range of batteries can be used for 1-hour backup solutions with hybrid inverters of up to 20kW. In India, the 1-hour backup solution is one of the most in-demand solutions.
Another range of batteries is High Voltage batteries, which are available in a 0.5C configuration. High Voltage batteries are made by connecting multiple battery modules in series. The capacity of High Voltage batteries includes 5kWh (50Ah, 102.4V), 5kWh (100Ah, 51.2V), 52kWh (314Ah, 166.4V), and more.
Conclusion
BESS is one of the fastest-growing markets in India, and it can be installed with or without solar. For systems below 1MWh, BESS is generally installed with solar because the current payback period is around 4–5 years. However, in the coming years, BESS may also be installed without solar as solar power becomes more widely adopted across different sectors. Loom provides a business opportunity for partners who want to start their own BESS business in their area.
