BOSTON, MA. APRIL 22, 2025 - Socomec introduces its new Skidded Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) — a fully integrated, factory-tested, and quick-to-deploy energy storage solution designed specifically for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.
Engineered for ease and speed, the Skidded BESS is truly Plug & Play, arriving prewired and fully assembled with all critical components — including battery modules, PCS, built-in transformer, HVAC system, safety systems, and controller. Power ratings range from 50 kVA to 300 kVA with 2-, 3-, and 4-hour duration options, supporting a wide range of use cases from peak shaving to renewable integration.
The system also features a future-proof metering gateway using the Socomec DIRIS Digiware metering solution, enabling advanced monitoring of PV, load, and utility usage — all without requiring additional external components. Compact and flexible, the Skidded BESS is ideal for rapid deployment and minimal site preparation. This solution simplifies site logistics with a footprint under 20 feet, multiple cable entry options, and forklift compatibility. Designed for positioning on surfaces with minimal site prep, such as compacted gravel*, and the possibility to redeploy for leased or temporary installations easily. For additional support, remote commissioning is available for both on-grid and off-grid applications. "Our Skidded BESS represents a smarter approach to C&I energy storage — fully integrated, pre-tested, and built for speed," said Bruno Plisson, Senior Vice President, Energy Storage North America. "By eliminating the need for separate transformers, pads, and extensive field work, we're helping customers get online faster and more cost-effectively than ever before."
Each unit is assembled and tested in the USA, including full-load battery cycling before shipment, ensuring reliability, reduced installation risk, and compliance with the latest safety standards. The system also comes with flexible warranty options of 5, 10, 15, or 20 years and includes availability and performance guarantees.
“We’ve listened to what our customers need,” said Vishwas Deokar, Head of Product & Marketing for Energy Storage Solutions in North America; “The Skidded BESS is our answer — a simple, complete, and fast-to-deploy solution that just works.” Whether you’re looking to accelerate your energy storage deployment or simplify your site logistics, the Skidded BESS offers a smart, streamlined solution tailored for today’s C&I energy demands.
