Commercial & Industrial

Energy Storage Built for
Business-Critical Operations

Sodium-ion battery systems engineered for peak demand management, backup power, and renewable integration — with the safety and longevity C&I operations demand.

Why Coulomb Technology for C&I

The Storage System Your Operations Deserve

Commercial and industrial facilities face a unique combination of high energy costs, strict uptime requirements, and growing pressure to decarbonize. Coulomb Technology's sodium-ion systems are purpose-built to address all three — delivering lower total cost of ownership, zero thermal runaway risk, and performance that holds up in the real world.

14% Lower 15-Year TCO

Fewer replacements, no thermal management costs, and longer cycle life add up to real savings.

Zero Thermal Runaway

Sodium-ion chemistry is inherently non-flammable — no fire suppression systems required.

-20°C to 55°C Operation

Full rated capacity across extreme temperatures — no cold-weather derating.

Domestic Supply Chain

No cobalt, no lithium — sodium is abundant, domestically sourced, and tariff-resilient.

Primary Applications

Four Ways C&I Facilities Deploy Coulomb Technology

Every installation is engineered around your specific load profile, utility rate structure, and operational requirements.

Peak Demand Management
1
Revenue & Savings

Peak Demand Management

For: Manufacturing, Logistics, Data Centers, Retail


The Challenge

Demand charges — billed on your single highest 15-minute interval each month — can account for 30–50% of a commercial utility bill. One spike from a compressor startup or EV charger surge can cost thousands.

The Coulomb Technology Solution
  • CoulombAI™ predicts demand peaks 15 minutes ahead and pre-discharges to shave them
  • Typical demand charge reduction of 40–70% in the first year
  • Payback periods as short as 3–5 years in high-rate markets
  • No manual intervention — fully automated strategy execution
Resilience

Critical Backup Power

For: Healthcare, Data Centers, Telecom, Food Processing


The Challenge

Grid outages cost C&I facilities an average of $150,000 per hour. Traditional diesel generators have 10–30 second startup delays and require costly fuel storage, maintenance, and emissions compliance.

The Coulomb Technology Solution
  • Sub-20ms seamless transfer — no gap in power delivery
  • 2–8 hours of backup at full facility load, scalable to 24+ hours
  • Zero emissions, zero fuel logistics, zero startup delay
  • EnergiOS™ continuously monitors grid health and pre-positions charge for seamless transfer

Electrification

Material Handling Electrification

For: Warehousing, Distribution, Cold Storage, Ports


The Challenge

Electrifying forklift fleets and charging infrastructure creates massive demand spikes. A 50-forklift fleet charging simultaneously can add 500–800 kW of instantaneous demand — turning electrification savings into a utility bill nightmare.

The Coulomb Technology Solution
  • Intelligent load-leveling absorbs EV charging spikes before they hit the meter
  • Enables full fleet electrification without expensive utility service upgrades
  • Works with any charging infrastructure — no proprietary hardware required
  • Typical ROI: 4–6 years including avoided service upgrade costs
Sustainability

Renewable Integration & Self-Consumption

For: Manufacturing, Agriculture, Retail, Corporate Campuses


The Challenge

Solar generation peaks at midday; facility demand peaks in the afternoon. Without storage, excess solar is exported at low rates while facilities still pay peak prices for grid power during their highest-demand hours.

The Coulomb Technology Solution
  • Store midday solar surplus and deploy it during afternoon peak demand windows
  • Increase solar self-consumption from ~30% to 85%+ with optimized dispatch
  • Qualify for SGIP, ITC, and state-level storage incentives
  • CoulombAI™ optimizes solar + storage dispatch in real time against utility rates
