Commercial Energy Storage Systems
Behind-the-meter LiFePO4 energy storage for businesses, facilities, and campuses — cut demand charges, shift load, back up critical operations, and integrate solar with one scalable C&I system.
Energy Storage Built for Business
A commercial energy storage system puts a battery to work behind your meter — cutting the demand charges that dominate C&I electric bills, shifting consumption to cheaper time-of-use periods, and keeping critical loads running through outages. It is one of the highest-ROI upgrades a facility can make to its energy footprint.
ChargeX commercial and industrial (C&I) systems are engineered on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). The chemistry delivers 6,000+ daily cycles, minimal degradation, and the safest thermal behavior in mainstream lithium — so the asset earns its keep for 15–20 years without the safety and degradation concerns of other chemistries.
Systems scale from tens of kilowatt-hours for a single building to multi-megawatt-hour installations for industrial sites, and integrate cleanly with on-site solar. Intelligent controls automate peak shaving, arbitrage, and backup so savings accrue without operator intervention.

Who Uses C&I Energy Storage
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a commercial energy storage system?
A commercial energy storage system (also called a C&I — commercial and industrial — energy storage system) is a battery installation sized for businesses, facilities, and campuses. It stores electricity to reduce demand charges, shift load to cheaper time-of-use periods, back up critical operations, and integrate on-site solar.
What does “C&I energy storage” mean?
C&I stands for commercial and industrial. C&I energy storage refers to behind-the-meter battery systems for businesses — typically tens of kilowatt-hours to several megawatt-hours — as opposed to residential systems or front-of-meter utility-scale projects.
How does commercial battery storage save money?
Three main ways: (1) demand charge reduction by shaving peak power draw, (2) time-of-use arbitrage by charging off-peak and discharging on-peak, and (3) demand-response and resilience value. Sites with on-site solar also increase self-consumption and reduce grid imports.
Why choose LiFePO4 for commercial storage?
Lithium iron phosphate offers 6,000+ cycles, minimal degradation, a wide operating temperature range, and the safest thermal profile of mainstream lithium chemistries. For a daily-cycling commercial asset expected to last 15–20 years, that durability and safety directly improve lifetime economics.
Can the system provide backup power during outages?
Yes. ChargeX commercial systems can be configured for islanding and backup, keeping critical loads energized during grid outages while still delivering everyday demand-charge and time-of-use savings.
