Energy Storage
Behind-the-meter energy storage, built for real commercial operations
OpenGrid deploys battery systems directly at your main electrical panel, reducing peak demand and enabling grid participation without changing how your site operates.
Instead of relying on staff actions or workflow changes, the system delivers value through on-site infrastructure that runs automatically in the background, while improving site stability and reducing exposure to grid volatility.
Where It Sits
Unlike software-only grid integration approaches, value is delivered through on-site equipment, not operational changes.
Integrated into your existing electrical system
No changes to core building systems
No disruption to refrigeration, lighting, or POS systems
Built to commercial standards
Battery
High-performance battery infrastructure for commercial sites
Engineered for safety, reliability, and long-term operation at grocery-anchored and essential retail sites. Similar in concept to residential batteries, but designed for continuous commercial loads and grid participation.
Thermal Management
Liquid-cooled design maintains stable operating conditions and extends system life.
Triple-Layer Safety
Multi-layer safety systems with early detection and integrated fire suppression.
Seamless Integration
Pre-commissioned units enable fast, low-impact installation with a clean footprint.
Commercial Capacity
Designed to support high-load commercial sites such as grocery-anchored retail.
What It Does for Your Site
Demand charge reduction:
Reduces short-duration peak demand that drives utility demand charges.
Load shaping & site support:
Smooths site electricity usage and reduces spikes during peak periods.
Resiliency enhancement:
Provides on-site backup support to help stabilize operations during grid events.
Supports optional EV charging:
When paired with EV charging, storage helps manage additional load without increasing peak demand.
Built for Commercial Sites
Built as infrastructure
Engineered and installed to code

Operations & Service
Hosts do not manage dispatch, software, or performance.
OpenGrid handles:
Site engineering and electrical integration
Permitting coordination
Installation management
24/7 remote monitoring
Preventive maintenance and servicing
Optional Add-ons
Optional EV charging, supported by on-site storage
OpenGrid can include EV charging as part of the deployment, integrated at the main electrical panel and supported by the battery system. This allows charging load to be managed without increasing peak demand.
Example configuration:
~50 kW fast charging
Integrated battery-supported charging
Compatible with CCS and NACS
Built for grocery and essential retail sites
OpenGrid systems are built for grocery-anchored and essential retail sites that require:
