The need for reliable, efficient, and safe energy storage solutions has never been greater than today. As industries and communities strive to integrate renewable energy sources and enhance grid resilience, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a pivotal technology. These systems not only store excess energy for later use but also provide critical backup power during outages, facilitate peak shaving to reduce energy costs, and enable the formation of microgrids for localized energy management.
At Lathrop Trotter, we recognize the transformative potential of BESS and are committed to offering cutting-edge solutions that meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our partnership with Viridi, a leader in fail-safe, distributed energy storage, allows us to deliver advanced BESS tailored for various applications—from large-scale industrial operations to critical infrastructure and remote installations.
