About Us

AESI comprises highly experienced core team members who have developed five generations of large-scale BESS systems, heretofore having deployed more than 1.5 GWh worldwide. That same team has come together once again to create their mangum opus — the all-in-one, ultra-high density TeraStor. Third-party analysts contend that the revolutionary design outpaces the market for reliability, availability, utilization and total lifetime value. We’ve designed and manufactured an entirely new line of energy storage products to meet the needs of grid energy storage, deployment, operation, and energy management for the next 20 years. Every detail in our AESI products makes them fundamentally easier to purchase, install, maintain and operate than any other energy storage alternative available today.
