¶ Site Energy Storage · BESS
Brightmerge first helps you decide if BESS makes sense for you — and if the numbers say yes, we size and prove the investment before you commit, then run your battery optimally every day across arbitrage, peak shaving and demand response. Decide, design, operate — for real estate, fleets, charging hubs and developers, on new or existing applications.

¶ 01 · Why it matters
The honest first answer is sometimes no — and knowing that early is worth a lot.
But if it's yes, two more questions follow: how big, and can it hit those numbers every day?
Brightmerge answers all three, with one model that runs from the go/no-go decision through daily operation.
Find out whether storage actually pays for your site before you commit a dollar — an honest go/no-go grounded in your loads, tariffs and returns, not a spec sheet. If the answer is no, you've saved a fortune. If it's yes, everything below is the “how”.
Right-size power and capacity to the returns and your load profile — not rules of thumb or the vendor's spec sheet.
Model IRR, NPV and payback a lender or board will accept — before you commit a dollar to hardware.
Real-time dispatch that captures arbitrage, peak shaving and demand-response revenue — automatically, every cycle.
Every charge and discharge is weighed against state of charge, cycle life and warranty — value today without spending tomorrow's health.
¶ 02 · From plan to operation
One continuous thread: design the battery and prove it pays, deploy it, then run it every day against that same case. The plan doesn't get handed off and forgotten — it becomes the live baseline the battery is measured against.
Simulate battery configurations against your loads, tariffs and solar — and prove IRR, NPV and payback before you commit.
Commission on new or existing hardware. The approved design case becomes the live performance baseline.
24/7 optimization decides charge, hold and discharge every cycle — across arbitrage, peak shaving and demand response.
Every action is measured against the design case and weighed against battery health, with alerts on drift.

¶ 03 · Three ways a battery pays
The same engine stacks every value a battery can capture — behind-the-meter savings first, then market and grid revenue when it's worth more than storing. You don't pick one; you get them all, prioritized automatically.
Discharge into demand peaks to cut demand charges — often the single largest line on a commercial energy bill.
Charge off-peak and on midday solar, discharge when energy is dear — buying low and using high, every day.
Enrolled capacity paid to respond to grid events — revenue for flexibility you already have on site.
Frequency, capacity and reactive-power markets — from the same battery, when interconnection allows.
Illustrative only. Available value layers depend on your market, tariff and interconnection.
¶ 04 · Built for batteries
Dispatch modeled on real round-trip efficiency and available energy — not nameplate.
Every decision weighs value captured today against capacity lost over the asset's life.
Stays inside depth-of-discharge, C-rate and throughput limits so the warranty holds.
Respects operating windows and safety constraints on every cycle.
Runs across OEM battery systems — new build or already installed, no rip-and-replace.
Standardized onboarding through a proxy-based asset interface.
Real-time control on-site; monitor and manage every battery from anywhere.
Co-optimizes with on-site generation and charging when they share the meter.
Actual value tracked against the bankable case — not just kWh cycled.
Every cycle targets the highest net value across savings and revenue.
Operations and finance views, with Power BI and Tableau integration.
¶ 05 · From one battery to a fleet
Brightmerge runs each battery to its own design case — then runs them together, so a fleet of batteries reaches value no single unit could capture alone.
Step 01 · Per battery
Every system dispatched to its own bankable case — highest net value, health-aware, tracked in real time.
Step 02 · Across sites
Coordinate dispatch and benchmark every battery you own, so the fleet reaches gains no single unit could on its own.
Step 03 · As one asset
Your batteries operate as a single, optimized portfolio — managed centrally, ready for the grid.
That aggregated fleet of batteries is exactly what qualifies for grid-services revenue — operate them together as a virtual power plant with Brightmerge VPP.
