Power Storage Solutions has entered into a dealership agreement with ELM.
The arrangement will create a channel to provide UL-certified "turnkey" packaged, USA-based microgrids for utility, commercial, and industrial applications.
The combined strengths of Power Storage Solutions sales, marketing, and turnkey capabilities with ELM manufacturing provide increased access to turnkey Microgrid Solutions nationwide.
"This relationship brings together a leading manufacturer in ELM and a nationwide solutions integrator in Power Storage Solutions, to provide exactly what a customer would need for resilient power for just about any application." per Terry Cummings CEO of PWRSS.
Standardizes Energy Storage Systems
ELM MicroGrid's Battery EnergyStorage Solutions (BESS) enables customers to select from a vast array of standard sizes from 30 kilowatts to 20 megawatts for industrial applications or the Home Series for residential applications.
Microgrids operate autonomously either in tandem with the grid or in a stand-alone operation "islanded" mode separate from the public grid in the event of a power outage.
Historically, microgrid systems have been assembled and installed as separate components in the field leading to complex and unique configurations that are difficult to manage and service.
Conversely, ELM MicroGrid units are factory assembled in a UL 508A shop and ship as a self-contained UL 9540 Certified unit ready for installation.
This process standardizes energy storage systems to save consumers and contractors time and money.
"We are beyond excited to add Power Storage Solutions to our ELM Dealer Network. Their unparalleled experience in complete customer solutions provides the perfect partnership to help us continue to lead the Microgrid market forward with our rapid deployment Microgrid BESS systems." Per Aron Bowman, President ELM Microgrid.
