A battery is a very heavy box which sits usually on a concrete pad. So it's fairly simple, but that's not to say it's totally foolproof." - Drew Lebowitz"The size of a project is really dictated by the project and energy capacity that you're looking for." - Sean Daly"Certain suppliers need an inverter, a power conversion system external to the container. There are some suppliers where those inverters are integrated in the container. And I think we're seeing some more of that in the industry." - Sean Daly"I'd venture to say that they might have the best BESS book out there.
