A renewable energy developer was planning a site for a school district in California. They sought a reliable and affordable battery storage solution for five schools to provide backup power, increase utilization of solar and lower their electricity bills, GridVest stepped in with a tailored battery storage solution.

We delivered a high-performance battery system with flexible payment terms that fit the school’s payment schedule and met the District of State Architect’s stringent fire code and permitting requirements.

To accommodate site delays, we securely stored the batteries until the team was ready, ensuring a seamless installation process. Our technical team provided hands-on commissioning and project coordination, guaranteeing the system worked flawlessly from day one.

The result: a resilient, cost-effective energy storage solution that saved the school money and demonstrated GridVest’s ability to adapt quickly and keep projects moving—even under challenging circumstances.
