Every type of project

From thirty kilowatts to several megawatts.

The method stays the same at every scale: we start from what the site needs, then choose the solution that matches it.

Manufacturer selection

AlphaTech Energies selects only manufacturers on BloombergNEF’s Tier 1 Energy Storage list, the industry benchmark.

Five system sizes: which one fits your project?

The five sizes at the same scale
The five sizes at the same scale. A storage system grows far more in length than in height: from one size to the next, the height barely changes while the footprint multiplies – something settled on a site plan, not on a data sheet. Proportions are indicative, not contractual.
