Lithium Ion Energy Storage
lithium-ion battery storage is a relatively mature technology, which means that it is available at a more competitive cost than ever. This makes it a viable option for government and industry looking to save on energy costs.
Most business owners are aware of the savings they could create by understanding what utility demand charges are and how they can take actions to reduce them with an energy storage system attached to a PV system.
A Foundation Power battery system combines advanced lithium-ion cells with the world’s most advanced battery control system contained in flexible units that scale from 548kWh to over 8 Megawatts to match virtually any commercial application. The system stores and delivers clean energy and provides in-front and behind-the-meter solutions to address today’s energy challenges and utilize an existing solar PV system without requiring modifications to the existing utility interconnect agreement, making permitting easy. A Foundation system is designed for 100% uptime allowing individual system components to be isolated and serviced without bringing down the entire system.
For grid-connected systems, Foundation Power reduces peak demand charges and Time-of-Use charges. Foundation’s state-of-the-art solutions result in maximized energy savings, ongoing energy resilience, and present new opportunities for new revenue. These units are scalable from 548kWh to 8 Megawatts and beyond to match your application needs.
The DirectCore Energy Management System™ (EMS) manages all aspects of the microgrid from battery charge and discharge to load management, PV voltage optimization to energy arbitrage. The system automatically shifts by the second between nine energy applications to deliver maximum savings and profitability. DirectCore DC-coupling delivers higher round trip efficiency and therefore higher energy capture than our competitors.
Foundation Power’s open architecture design eliminates obsolescence issues and is future-ready, allowing for potential upgrades to higher-output solar panels as they emerge and newer power technologies that become available, and additional energy storage units can be added to increase capacity and our weather-resistant enclosures that can be sited virtually anywhere with UL and TUV certifications which meet or exceeds all current national operational and safety requirements
Foundation Power provides a long-term, sustainable solution that allows for in-service upgrades and maintenance with a five, ten or twenty-year warranty available on the complete system.

Our Services
Each business, industrial site, government agency, and residential community is unique, with its own distinct challenges and needs. We work closely from initial project concept through the full operational life of the project to help our customers optimize their energy upgrades.
Assessment & Consulting
We start every customer engagement by developing a clear set of objectives and an understanding of site operations, system connections, and physical layout. We use this detailed understanding to design solutions that ensure always-on, optimized operations
Installation
We integrate each piece of your critical infrastructure into a resilient, capable system serving your critical energy needs. We use a comprehensive approach that incorporates third party subsystems into our open-architecture platform
Manufacturing & Supply
When we partner with you to develop your system upgrade, we inform you of potential optimizations within your own operations before installation, and deliver full O&M services and support over the entire life of your Always-On Critical Operations Platform.
