As commercial and industrial (C&I) energy projects evolve, the integration of solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS) has become the new standard for sustainability and cost efficiency. Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies are no longer just installers — they’re becoming orchestrators of hybrid energy ecosystems. However, designing and commissioning a C&I BESS project […]
Introduction: Why Talk About the Advantages of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)? The advantages of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) are shaping the future of clean energy. As renewable adoption accelerates, the need for reliable, flexible, and scalable energy storage has never been greater. From utilities struggling with grid fluctuations to businesses facing high demand […]
What is a Battery Passport? The Battery Passport is a digital record that tracks essential data about a battery’s lifecycle — from raw material sourcing to recycling. Think of it as a “digital twin” that provides information on carbon footprint, material origin, performance, and compliance. Starting in 2027, the EU Batteries Regulation will mandate that […]
Battery systems are powering everything from household electronics to advanced energy storage systems. But with the rapid adoption of rechargeable batteries, safety becomes a critical concern. That’s where UL 2054 certification comes into play. UL 2054 is a globally recognized safety standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). It defines rigorous testing methods and requirements for […]
Electric vehicles are driving the future of transportation. As adoption grows, battery safety has become a critical focus for manufacturers and regulators. To ensure reliability, UL 2580 certification was introduced as a dedicated safety standard for electric vehicle batteries. This blog explains what UL 2580 covers, why it’s important, and how it differs from other […]
Why Enclosures Matter in C&I BESS In the world of commercial and industrial battery energy storage systems (C&I BESS), performance and reliability depend on more than just advanced batteries and control systems. One often overlooked component is the BESS enclosure. Enclosures act as the first line of defense against dust, moisture, temperature extremes, and physical […]
What is UL 1642 Certification?: Lithium-ion batteries power nearly every aspect of our modern lives—electric vehicles, energy storage systems (ESS), consumer electronics, and medical devices. With this widespread adoption comes a heightened need for safety. UL 1642 Certification is one of the most widely recognized safety standards for lithium-ion cells. It provides rigorous testing criteria […]
UL 2271 Certification: A Safety Standard for Modern Mobility The popularity of light electric vehicles (LEVs) such as e-bikes and scooters has surged in cities worldwide. With this growth comes an urgent need for reliable and safe batteries. UL 2271 certification provides a trusted benchmark, ensuring lithium-ion batteries used in LEVs are tested for safety, […]
Introduction: The Growing Importance of Energy Storage Systems Renewable energy is transforming the way we generate power, but sources like solar and wind are variable by nature. To make them reliable, we need Energy Storage Systems (ESS) that capture energy when it’s abundant and release it when demand is high. At Sunlith Energy, we focus […]
As the demand for clean energy grows, energy storage systems (ESS) are playing a crucial role in stabilizing the grid and enabling renewable integration. With safety and compliance at the forefront, UL 9540 certification has become the global benchmark for energy storage systems. In this guide, we’ll explain what UL 9540 is, why it matters, […]
