Technologies: Energy Storage
The energy sector is advancing quickly, with new technologies reshaping electricity generation, storage, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Solas Energy helps clients evaluate and deploy these innovations with a balanced view of technical performance
Energy storage can be located at generation, on grid, or at load. It has a multitude of applications including arbitrage, ancillary services, load shifting, and renewable energy smoothing. Not all energy storage technologies offer the same solutions and we can help you find the most suitable technology for your specific needs.
We have extensive experience in battery energy storage systems (BESS), including lithium-ion technology. We support energy storage applications both in front of and behind the meter.

Solas Energy offers:
Battery energy storage sits at the center of nearly every hybrid renewable project we support today, and the right technology choice depends heavily on the use case. A project built around arbitrage and market participation has different sizing, chemistry, and controls requirements than one built around ancillary services or renewable smoothing. We help clients work backward from the use case to the technology, rather than starting with a technology and looking for a use case to justify it.
That approach carries through to how we support BESS modeling and sizing. Whether a project is paired with wind, paired with solar, or standalone, our technology and feasibility reviews are grounded in real operating data from the storage technologies we have already evaluated, including compressed air, pumped hydro, flywheels, and thermal storage, so recommendations reflect what actually performs in the field, not just vendor specifications.
1.3 GWh BESS Project Support
BESS can be located at the point of generation, on the grid, or at the load, and can support use cases including arbitrage, ancillary services, load shifting, and renewable energy smoothing. Solas Energy helps clients identify the right location and technology for their specific use case.
Yes. In addition to extensive lithium-ion BESS experience, we have conducted technology and feasibility reviews for compressed air energy storage, pumped hydro storage, flywheels, and thermal storage.
Yes, we provide energy storage modeling and optimal sizing services, along with feasibility studies and economic evaluation, to help determine the right size and configuration for a project’s specific use case and market.
Yes, we have direct experience integrating energy storage with both wind and solar projects, including a 1.3 GWh BESS project, to maximize efficiency and market value.
Remote/Off-Grid Hybrid Feasibility
Solas Energy evaluated wind, storage, diesel, and grid options for an off-grid project. Our modelling identified cost-effective pathways, balancing ESG goals with reliability and capital cost.
Energy Storage & Carbon Offsets
Solas Energy developed a first-of-its kind framework to quantify the GHG reduction potential of energy storage. The study informed policy, identified barriers, and positioned storage as a key enabler for renewable integration.
