Orion Energy rolls out on-site battery energy storage system

Orion Energy (OESX) Systems announced the introduction of a localized battery energy storage system that enables facilities to minimize cost and maximize efficiency by drawing on stored solar energy. Inaugural battery energy storage system deployments are commencing in Orion’s current fiscal quarter at the first three sites of a 10-site deployment in California, the company said. The deployments feature rechargeable batteries to store the energy the facility’s solar panels accumulate during the day for use either at night or whenever it is needed. These facilities can draw down the stored energy to power administrative, industrial or business administrative activities, as well as EV charging and other functions.
