Complete DC Block

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

The Series-DC ships as a fully assembled, tested DC battery block. Bring your own inverter, your own EMS, your own enclosure — we handle the chemistry, BMS, and safety. One SKU. One warranty. Zero integration guesswork.

  • Sodium-Ion NFPP Battery Modules

    279 kWh nameplate, 229 kWh usable at 85% DOD — prismatic cell format with zero thermal runaway risk

  • Integrated Battery Management System (BMS)

    US-designed BMS with Modbus TCP, CAN Bus, and RS-485 — continuous cell-level monitoring, protection, and SOC reporting

  • Three Open Protocol Interfaces

    Modbus TCP, CAN Bus 2.0B, and RS-485 — integrates with any third-party inverter, EMS, or SCADA platform out of the box

  • Safety & Protection Systems

    Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection — UL 1973 and IEC 62619 compliant

  • Full Integration Documentation

    Wiring diagrams, protocol specs, commissioning guide, and applications engineering support — included at no cost

Integration Architecture

Three Protocols.
One DC Block.

The Series-DC communicates over Modbus TCP, CAN Bus 2.0B, and RS-485 simultaneously — so your inverter, EMS, and SCADA platform all speak to the battery natively, without gateways or translators.

01
Modbus TCP
Ethernet / IP Protocol

Industry-standard TCP/IP protocol for integration with SCADA systems, building management systems, and any IP-connected EMS or monitoring platform.

  • Real-time SOC, SOH, voltage, current, temperature
  • Cell-level monitoring via register map
  • Remote charge/discharge control
  • Alarm and fault status registers
  • Compatible with all major SCADA platforms
02
CAN Bus 2.0B
Automotive / Industrial Protocol

High-speed CAN Bus 2.0B for direct integration with inverters and power conversion systems that use automotive-grade communication — common in EV chargers and industrial UPS systems.

  • Up to 1 Mbit/s data rate
  • Direct inverter-to-BMS communication
  • Standard message frames for SOC and limits
  • Charge/discharge current limit broadcast
  • Compatible with SMA, SolarEdge, Victron, and more
03
RS-485
Serial / Legacy Protocol

RS-485 serial interface for integration with legacy EMS platforms, building automation systems, and industrial controllers that don't support Ethernet or CAN.

  • Multi-drop bus — up to 32 devices per segment
  • Long-distance runs up to 1,200 meters
  • Noise-immune differential signaling
  • Compatible with legacy BMS and SCADA
  • Modbus RTU over RS-485 supported

Plug-and-Play Integration

Your Inverter.
Your EMS.
Our Battery.

The Series-DC is designed to disappear into your system architecture. Connect via any of the three protocols, configure the BMS register map, and your inverter sees a fully managed, safe DC source — no custom firmware, no proprietary gateways.

  • Compatible with SMA, SolarEdge, Victron, Schneider, ABB, and all major inverter brands
  • Works with any third-party EMS — no Coulomb software license required
  • Full register map and protocol documentation provided at no cost
  • Applications engineering support through commissioning — included

Total Cost of Ownership

14% Lower TCO.
Bankable Economics.

Our sodium-ion technology delivers measurable savings through eliminated HVAC requirements, reduced degradation, and lower maintenance, insurance, and permitting costs — validated by real-world deployments, not laboratory projections.

Applications

Where the Series-DC Integrates

C&I BESS Integration
C&I / EPC Projects

Custom BESS Builds

EPCs and system integrators use the Series-DC as the battery core in custom-configured commercial BESS — paired with their preferred inverter and EMS stack.

Critical Backup Power
Data Centers / Telecom

UPS & Critical Backup

Replace lead-acid and LFP UPS banks with a zero-maintenance sodium-ion DC block — no thermal runaway, no HVAC, no fire suppression overhead.

Solar + Storage
Solar + Storage

Renewable Integration

Pair with any grid-tied or off-grid solar inverter to build a complete solar-plus-storage system — the Series-DC handles the battery side, your inverter handles the AC conversion.

Microgrid
Microgrids / OEM

OEM & Microgrid Builds

OEMs building containerized energy storage systems and microgrid developers use the Series-DC as a modular, stackable battery block — multiple units in parallel for multi-MWh configurations.
