From Parcel Record to Bankable Package in 40 Days
Our Platform Services
Most C&I BESS projects are sized using 15-minute utility interval data and simple "perfect knowledge" models. That systematically distorts the actual load—and the customers’ potential savings. Kelvolta’s four-step process replaces estimation with measurement, producing BESS project packages that developers and financiers can underwrite with confidence.
Our Process
Step 1: Match
We score C&I facilities from our proprietary database—built from parcel records and enriched with increasingly important information such as utility territory, facility type and facility size. Sites are scored by BESS viability so developers and their customers invest time only in sites that are most likely to pencil.
Step 2: Measure
At qualified sites, we rapidly gather as much detailed information as possible, often including 30-day revenue-grade continuous 1-second mains metering. This captures highly detailed data on power demand—including transient spikes, shift changes, and seasonal load variation that 15-minute (or even 5-minute) interval data misses. The result is a load profile with engineering-grade accuracy.
Step 3: Model
The load data then feeds into a tariff-specific BESS sizing analysis. Every utility charge is classified as shaveable demand, fixed obligation, or energy pass-through. The optimized battery size is determined by identified savings mechanisms—not by rule of thumb. The financial model is built to the developer’s capital structure and formatted for their investment committee.
Step 4: Monetize
The complete project package — scored site information, detailed load profile, tariff-engineered savings analysis, optimized BESS sizing, and developer-specific financial model—is delivered as a bankable package ready for the developer’s next investment meeting.
