Reduce your C-rate, increase your earnings

Upgrading your Pixii system to a lower C-rate allows you to participate in higher-value frequency regulation and balancing markets.

Adding more energy to your system will increase your revenue

Upgrading your Pixii systems to reach a lower C-rate will allow you to increase bidding volumes into the more lucrative FCR-N, aFRR and mFRR markets.

When upgrading your BESS to achieve a lower C-rate, take advantage of the opportunity to add enough energy to exceed the 100kW threshold for FFR participation.

Reliability and uptime matters

SLA positive

When participating in energy markets, your system must be ready to deliver, every time. Downtime can be costly, and failing to meet commitments after winning a bid isn’t an option.

Our service level agreements (SLAs) ensure your system stays operational, optimized, and within warranty terms. With expert maintenance and support, you maximize uptime, extend equipment life, and protect your investment.
