We have a dedicated energy storage website

Energy storage buyers ask different questions from battery buyers. They need to know how to size a system for a load profile, what it costs per kWh, how long it takes to pay for itself, whether a subsidy applies, and what the distribution company will ask for. We keep all of that material together on storage.clnenergy.in, so it can be read in one place instead of being spread across a product catalogue.

It is the same company, the same plant in Noida, the same warranty and the same service team. The storage site carries the savings calculator, the cost of a BESS in India, the payback period for a commercial system and the government VGF scheme, along with the full specifications for every product below.

What does the energy storage range include?

The six products below are our Lithium Solutions range. Each one is described in full on the storage website, with its specifications, sizes and drawings.

CLN Energy battery energy storage products
Product Where it is used What it is
wall mounted battery Homes, shops and small offices Mounts on a wall beside the inverter. 48V and 51.2V units.
stackable battery system Homes and small businesses that will grow Start with one module and add more as the load increases.
rack mounted energy storage Telecom sites, data centres and industry Standard 19-inch rack modules for an equipment room.
ground mounted battery Homes and commercial sites with floor space Floor standing cabinets for larger banks.
containerised BESS Factories, solar parks and utilities Megawatt-hour systems delivered in a container.
lead acid replacement battery Sites replacing an existing lead-acid bank Fits the same duty with lithium iron phosphate cells.

What is an all-in-one system?

An all-in-one system holds the hybrid inverter, the solar charge controller, the battery and the battery management system in a single cabinet. Because the parts are matched and wired at the factory, the system is supplied plug and play: it arrives as one unit and is connected on site rather than assembled there. There are three series, by size of load.

How the system works with solar, the grid and a generator

Most sites in India already have two or three sources of power. Our all-in-one systems are built to work with all of them together, and to decide between them automatically.

How a CLN energy storage system uses each source of power
SourceWhat the system does with it
Solar Charges the battery from the solar array through the built-in charge controller, and runs the site on solar while it is available.
Grid Charges the battery when the grid is present, and can be set to charge during cheaper hours. The system changes over when the supply fails.
Diesel generator Works alongside an existing generator, so the generator runs for fewer hours or only when the battery is low.
The load Supplies the connected load from whichever source is set to have priority, and supports the peaks so the demand charge does not rise.

Which sources a particular system supports depends on the model, so the configuration is confirmed against your site. The diesel generator replacement page explains the generator case in full, and can a BESS work without solar answers the question sites without a solar plant usually ask first.

What is the difference between a BMS and an EMS?

Two different systems sit inside a battery energy storage system, and buyers are often quoted both without being told which is which.

When you compare quotations, ask which of the two is included, what the energy management system allows you to change, and what data you can see. A system you cannot see into is a system whose savings you cannot prove.

Where these systems are installed

The models and specifications for each segment are on this site, under the product pages below. The system-level guidance is on the storage website.

Energy storage by segment
SegmentWhat it covers
Homes and apartments Inverter backup, solar storage and all-in-one units.
Commercial and industrial sites Peak shaving, backup and diesel generator replacement.
Telecom towers 48V modules for tower and shelter sites.
Data centres Rack modules for UPS backup.
Grid and utility projects Containerised systems from 1 MWh to 5 MWh.

For a commercial or industrial requirement, the battery energy storage system page on the storage website explains how a system is put together, and diesel generator replacement covers the case most factories ask about first.

Installations you can check

A completed installation is the one claim a supplier cannot create on paper. These are on our project pages with their real configurations.

Questions buyers ask about energy storage

Does CLN Energy manufacture battery energy storage systems?

Yes. CLN Energy manufactures battery energy storage systems in India at its own plant in Noida, which has more than 2 GWh of annual capacity. The range runs from a 1.28 kWh residential pack to a 5 MWh containerised system, and all of it uses lithium iron phosphate cells. CLN Energy Limited is listed on the BSE SME platform under scrip code 544347.

What is a battery energy storage system?

A battery energy storage system, usually called a BESS, stores electricity and releases it when it is needed. It is used to run a site through a power cut, to store solar energy for the evening, to reduce demand charges by supplying the peaks, and to replace or reduce the running of a diesel generator. Our storage website explains the types and the sizing in detail.

How much does a BESS cost in India?

The cost depends on the size, the voltage class, the enclosure and the power conversion equipment, so every system is quoted against the site. Our storage website publishes approximate ranges per kWh and per MWh for each system size, and explains what makes one quotation differ from another. We quote your site rather than list a price, because a price without a load profile is not a real number.

Can a battery energy storage system replace a diesel generator?

In many cases it can, and in others it reduces the hours the generator runs rather than removing it. The answer depends on the load, how long the outages last and how often they happen. Our storage website works through the comparison and the payback period.

Do I need DISCOM approval for a BESS in India?

It depends on whether the system exports to the grid and on the rules of your state distribution company. A system that only supplies the site behind the meter is treated differently from one that feeds the grid. Our storage website sets out when approval is needed.

Does a CLN system work with solar, the grid and a diesel generator together?

Yes. Our all-in-one systems charge from solar through a built-in charge controller, charge from the grid when it is available, and work alongside an existing diesel generator so that it runs for fewer hours. The energy management system decides between the sources automatically, according to the priority that is set. Which sources a particular model supports is confirmed against your site.

What is the difference between a BMS and an EMS?

The battery management system, or BMS, protects the cells. It monitors voltage, current and temperature, balances the cells and disconnects the battery if a limit is crossed. Every CLN lithium battery has one. The energy management system, or EMS, decides when the battery charges and discharges and how it works with solar, the grid and a generator. Our all-in-one and commercial systems include both.

Are CLN all-in-one systems plug and play?

The hybrid inverter, the solar charge controller, the battery and the battery management system are matched and wired together in one cabinet at the factory. The system reaches the site as a single unit and is connected there, rather than being assembled from separate parts, which is why installation is quicker and there is one supplier to call if anything needs attention.

Why does CLN Energy have a separate website for energy storage?

Energy storage buyers ask different questions from battery buyers. They need sizing, cost per kWh, payback periods, subsidy rules and system drawings. All of that material is kept together on storage.clnenergy.in so it can be read in one place. The company, the plant, the warranty and the service team are the same.

Ask for a system for your site

Tell us the load you need to support, how long you need it for, and where the site is. That is enough for the energy storage team to come back with a proposal.
