BESS installation: what to expect

A trailer takes minutes. A container takes a project plan. Here is both.

Trailer units

A PulseTrek Trailer arrives charged. It is positioned on firm, level ground, chocked, and connected through its transfer switch or to a distribution board by a qualified electrician. Most deployments are running in well under an hour.

Containerised projects

Timelines

Utility interconnection is usually the longest step for permanent systems. Temporary and behind-the-meter backup systems often avoid it. We give realistic timelines at quote.

What we need from you

For a trailer deployment, we need the site address, access details, the loads to be powered and how they connect: straight into the unit's outlets, through its transfer switch, or into a distribution board. If the connection is into a building, a licensed electrician makes it.

For a containerised system, we need 12 months of utility bills and interval data, a site plan, the single-line diagram if one exists, and any constraints such as noise limits, setbacks or fire department requirements. Those decide the size, the layout and the permit route.

In both cases, the earlier we see the load data, the more accurate the quote and the timeline.
