Critical-Load Resilience
Support selected circuits during eligible outages with a properly designed transfer and controls strategy.
- Critical-load inventory
- Required backup duration
- Transfer and isolation design
- Commissioning and owner training
BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS
Store energy. Control when you use it.
BrightOn Power plans ESS around a defined outcome: backup for important loads, higher solar self-consumption, load shifting, commercial peak management or a combination of these priorities.
STORAGE WITH A CLEAR OPERATING PURPOSE
Power, energy capacity, controls, critical loads and electrical integration designed as one system.
WHAT ESS CAN DO
One battery. Different business cases.
The system is sized only after we understand what must be powered, for how long, and when the building uses the most electricity.
Solar Self-Consumption
Store excess daytime generation for use later instead of exporting all surplus electricity.
- Generation and consumption matching
- Charge/discharge strategy
- Hybrid inverter integration
- Performance monitoring
Peak-Demand Management
Evaluate whether controlled battery dispatch can reduce short power peaks that influence demand charges.
- Interval-data analysis
- Peak profile and target definition
- Power and energy sizing
- Controls and financial modelling
Use Energy More Strategically
Shift when electricity is drawn from the grid where tariffs, operating patterns and controls support a practical benefit.
- Operating-profile review
- Tariff and use-case screening
- Energy-management integration
- Ongoing performance review
OUR ESS PROCESS
Storage starts with the load—not the battery catalogue.
Goal Definition
Identify whether the priority is backup, self-consumption, demand management, load shifting or a combined operating strategy.
Load & Electrical Review
Review utility data, critical loads, service capacity, one-line information, equipment location and operating constraints.
Preliminary Sizing
Define required kW output, usable kWh capacity, expected operating profile and a high-level project budget.
Site Assessment
Verify installation space, clearances, access, environmental conditions, conduit routes and integration requirements.
Engineering & Approvals
Coordinate electrical design, permits, utility requirements, fire and building considerations, and current incentive rules.
Installation & Controls
Install batteries, inverter and switchgear, then configure operating logic around the approved use case.
Testing & Training
Commission the system, verify transfer or dispatch behaviour and train the owner or facility team.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Track alerts, energy movement and battery health, with reporting and preventive-maintenance options.
INCENTIVES
Eligible storage may receive meaningful support.
BC Hydro currently lists battery rebates when program conditions are met, including residential, commercial and multi-unit residential pathways. Battery-only eligibility differs from solar-plus-storage eligibility, so we verify the current rules before recommending a configuration.
For eligible businesses, stationary storage may also qualify under the federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit, subject to tax and program requirements.
ESS IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY BACKUP POWER
A grid-connected battery must include the correct transfer, isolation, controls and critical-load design to operate during an outage. BrightOn Power defines this function before equipment is selected.
