80kW BESS: What It Is and What It Powers
An 80kW BESS pairs an 80KVA bidirectional inverter with a 193kWh LiFePO4 battery bank, so a commercial site can shift solar generation into the evening peak and ride through grid outages without a diesel run. An 80kW BESS is sized for loads that run 12 to 16 hours a day: a mid-size factory, a hotel with laundry and air-conditioning, a telecom hub, or a water pumping station.
For buyers in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya, where load-shedding is the single largest operating cost, an 80kW BESS converts an outage into a non-event.
What a 193kWh BESS can power
Usable energy of about 174kWh covers the critical loads of a mid-size facility through a typical outage window: refrigeration, lighting, IT, security and selected production circuits. At half its rated power the system runs for roughly 4.3 hours between charges.
Paired with solar, the battery shifts daytime generation into the evening peak and keeps critical circuits alive when the grid fails.
How to size storage for your site
Start from the critical load list (kW) and the hours of cover you need — not from the total site load. Energy (kWh) = critical kW × hours, adjusted for depth of discharge and reserve. Our team sizes the battery, PCS and protection against your outage pattern and tariff.
