We develop and implement customised protection concepts against lightning and surge damage – both for utility-scale projects and for battery storage
For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal
Surge protector for ESS As demand for electricity becomes ever greater, the need to store energy (as well as produce it) also does.
The German rule of application VDE-AR-E 2510-2 “Stationary battery energy storage systems for connection to the low-volt-age network” also stipulates that provisions
For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal of grounding and bonding is to achieve
BESS systems contain AC/DC converters and battery banks implemented in concrete constructions or in metallic containers. These AC/DC converters have sensitive
These bonding connections are the final point of contact where the lightning safely dissipates into the water. Hence, the safe passage of lightning finally ends with grounding into
What are the three steps in lightning protection? Whenever considering lightning protection, it helps to fall back upon the three basic steps: bonding and grounding, surge suppression, and
Energy storage cabinet grounding and lightning protection Do I need an external lightning protection system? Therefore the need for optimized and reliable electrical protection against
Surge protector for ESS As demand for electricity becomes ever greater, the need to store energy (as well as produce it) also does. Like all electrical installations, energy storage

The European photovoltaic container market is experiencing significant growth in Central and Eastern Europe, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past four years. Containerized solar solutions now account for approximately 45% of all temporary and mobile solar installations in the region. Poland leads with 40% market share in the CEE region, driven by construction site power needs, remote industrial operations, and emergency power applications that have reduced energy costs by 55-65% compared to diesel generators. The average system size has increased from 30kW to over 200kW, with folding container designs cutting transportation costs by 70% compared to traditional solutions. Emerging technologies including bifacial modules and integrated energy management have increased energy yields by 20-30%, while modular designs and local manufacturing have created new economic opportunities across the solar container value chain. Typical containerized projects now achieve payback periods of 3-5 years with levelized costs below $0.08/kWh.
Containerized energy storage solutions are revolutionizing power management across Europe's industrial and commercial sectors. Mobile 20ft and 40ft BESS containers now provide flexible, scalable energy storage with deployment times reduced by 75% compared to traditional stationary installations. Advanced lithium-ion technologies (LFP and NMC) have increased energy density by 35% while reducing costs by 30% annually. Intelligent energy management systems now optimize charging/discharging cycles based on real-time electricity pricing, increasing ROI by 45-65%. Safety innovations including advanced thermal management and integrated fire suppression have reduced risk profiles by 85%. These innovations have improved project economics significantly, with commercial and industrial energy storage projects typically achieving payback in 2-4 years through peak shaving, demand charge reduction, and backup power capabilities. Recent pricing trends show standard 20ft containers (200kWh-800kWh) starting at €85,000 and 40ft containers (800kWh-2MWh) from €160,000, with flexible financing including lease-to-own and energy-as-a-service models available.
