Simplifying Storage: How To Make BESS Work Seamlessly

Simplifying Storage: How To Make BESS Work Seamlessly

As renewable energy scales up across the U.S., battery storage has become a critical solution for grid reliability and flexibility. Yet scaling storage remains a complex task, challenged by hardware compatibility issues, labor constraints, and lengthy installation timelines.

This new report from Heatmap Labs and Shoals Technologies examines how simplifying the electrical infrastructure behind storage can pave the way for more efficient solar-plus-storage deployments. Drawing on decades of experience, Shoals' experts outline how thoughtful design and standardization can help utilities and developers reduce complexity, cut costs, and future-proof their systems.

Inside the free report you’ll find:

  • How simplified, modular storage infrastructure can reduce system complexity and support long-term flexibility as battery technologies evolve.

  • Why design choices like pre-wired components and centralized disconnects matter for cutting costs, speeding up deployment, and reducing labor dependence.

  • What utilities and developers can learn from Shoals’ approach to standardization, and how it can help meet the rising demand for reliable, distributed energy.
