Why Your Current Energy System Is Bleeding Money

1️⃣ Heat‑loss during off‑peak periods – up to 30 % of generated thermal energy dissipates before it can be used (source: MIT Gas Study).

2️⃣ Peak‑shaving penalties – utilities in the EU and North America charge 1.5‑2× higher rates for on‑peak thermal demand, inflating OPEX by 15‑25 % per year.

3️⃣ Regulatory pressure – ESG reporting now requires documented reduction of waste heat. Companies missing the 2025 target risk $2‑5 M in fines (see IEA Gas 2025).

4️⃣ Space constraints – Traditional storage tanks occupy valuable plant floor area, forcing costly expansions.

5️⃣ Supply‑chain volatility – High‑price, low‑quality thermal storage units from fragmented suppliers lead to 12‑month lead times and 20 % higher total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is thermal energy storage and how does it differ from conventional batteries?

Thermal energy storage (TES) captures heat‑energy—either sensible, latent, or thermochemical—and releases it on demand. Unlike electrochemical batteries, TES stores **heat**, not electricity, enabling **higher energy densities** (up to 800 kWh/m³) and **lower cost per kWh** for high‑temperature applications.

Can TES be customized for my plant’s specific temperature range?

Yes. Our engineering team designs **OEM/ODM modules** from 30 °C to 800 °C using molten salts, phase‑change materials, or metal‑hydride chemistries. We provide a detailed thermal‑balance report before finalizing the design.

What are the typical lead times and shipping terms?

Standard modules ship within **4 weeks** (factory‑to‑port). We offer **EX‑Works**, **FOB**, or **CIF** options. For large‑scale projects, we can coordinate **door‑to‑door** delivery with customs clearance in the US, EU, or Asia.

How does the after‑sales service work?

All units include a **5‑year full‑service warranty**, remote monitoring via our SaaS platform, and on‑site technical support within 48 hours. Spare parts are stocked in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Is financing available for large projects?

We partner with global banks and green‑finance institutions to offer **zero‑interest leasing**, **PPAs**, or **CAPEX‑to‑OPEX conversion**. Contact our sales team for a tailored financing package.
