Battery Energy Storage System for Industrial & Factory Solutions
Reduce Energy Costs with Peak Shaving and Load Shifting
For industrial parks and factories, electricity bills are one of the largest operating expenses — and demand charges alone can account for 30–50% of the total. Rakour's LiFePO4 battery energy storage system captures off-peak grid power and discharges it precisely at peak-demand moments, cutting demand charges without interrupting production.
How BESS Eliminates Demand Charges in Industrial Facilities
When your facility hits a demand spike — a compressor startup, a shift changeover — the grid charges you based on that 15-minute peak, regardless of how briefly it occurs. A Rakour BESS monitors real-time load curves and injects stored energy the instant consumption approaches the billing threshold, flattening the spike before it registers.
Peak ShavingTime-of-Use Arbitrage: Charge at Night, Discharge at Peak
Rakour's energy storage system supports six programmable TOU time periods, enabling facilities to charge during low-rate nighttime hours and discharge during expensive daytime windows. For a factory running 300 kWh of daily arbitrage capacity, the annual savings can offset system costs within 3–5 years.
TOU ArbitrageGrid Ancillary Services and Backup Power for Factories
Beyond peak shaving, Rakour BESS provides seamless transition to backup mode in under 10 ms — keeping production lines live during grid outages without a cold restart penalty.

Scalable Rack Battery Solutions from 48V to 716V
Rakour's industrial rack battery line covers two architectures — LV and HV — so EPC contractors and system integrators can match the right battery string to any inverter topology without custom engineering.
LV Series: 51.2V Rack Battery Modules (100Ah – 314Ah)
The RAKOURLV series delivers 51.2V at capacities from 100Ah (5.12 kWh) to 314Ah (16.08 kWh) per module. Up to 15 packs stack in parallel, scaling a single cabinet to over 240 kWh — ideal for factories pairing a 48V battery bus with a single-phase or three-phase hybrid inverter. Natural cooling, CAN/RS485/RS232 communication, and ≥6,000 cycle life come standard.
HV Series: High-Voltage Server Rack Battery (256V – 716V)
The NSTFW-16K-HV server rack battery runs 5–14 modules in series, producing system voltages from 256V to 716.8V and up to 225 kWh per string. Fan-cooled and built for three-phase C&I inverters, it supports a max discharge current of 200A — delivering the sustained power density industrial parks require.
Rack Mount Battery Configuration and System Scalability
Both series use stack or iron-frame rack mount battery installation, accepting up to 4 parallel strings. Modular design means capacity expands in the field — add modules as load grows without replacing existing hardware.
Inverter Compatibility: Works with Deye, Growatt, Victron & More
Rakour batteries communicate over CAN and RS485 — the two protocols that mainstream grid-tied and hybrid inverters use to exchange SOC, voltage, and fault data with a battery pack. No proprietary adapter is required.
CAN/RS485 BMS Protocol Support for Seamless Integration
Rakour's BCU exposes both CAN and RS485 ports simultaneously, letting the battery inverter read cell-level data in real time. The Deye SUN-50K / SUN-80K series is factory-validated with the 51.2V314Ah-HV string — plug in, configure the battery protocol in the inverter menu, and the system handshakes automatically. The same CAN/RS485 output is compatible with Growatt, Victron, SMA, and other brands that accept standard BMS communication.
AC-Coupled and DC-Coupled System Designs for Solar+Storage
The dual independent battery ports on the Deye SUN-80K accept a voltage range of 160–1000V DC, supporting both DC-coupled PV+storage and AC-coupled retrofits where solar is already generating. Rakour's inverter battery strings slot into either topology without rewiring the PV array — protecting your existing site investment.
Certifications: UL9540, IEC62619, CE and UN38.3
For EPC contractors and project developers, certification gaps are a deal-breaker — they stall AHJ approvals and delay commissioning. Here is exactly what Rakour holds today and what is in progress.
UL9540 and UL1973 Compliance for the US Market
Rakour's LiFePO4 chemistry and cell-level protections align with the safety architecture required by UL9540 and UL1973. UL certification testing is currently in process; contact our B2B team for a project timeline and pre-certification documentation that many US AHJs accept during the approval stage.
IEC62619, CE and ROHS Compliance for Global Projects
The RAKOURLV 280Ah and 314Ah modules and the RAKOURHV 200Ah carry IEC62619 — the international electrochemical safety standard for industrial battery systems. All Rakour rack batteries hold CE and UN38.3 transport certification, enabling smooth customs clearance into EU and most Asian markets.
NFPA 855 Site Safety and AHJ Approval Suppor
NFPA 855 governs installation spacing, ventilation, and suppression requirements at the site level — not battery certification. Rakour provides full technical documentation packages, including MSDS, cell test reports, and system-level safety datasheets, to support your local AHJ submission.
Total Cost of Ownership Over a 10-Year Battery Lifecycle
The true measure of a C&I battery investment is cost per kilowatt-hour delivered over its entire service life — not the purchase price alone.
LiFePO4 Battery Cycle Life: ≥6,000 Cycles at 90% DOD
Rakour's LiFePO4 chemistry is the baseline advantage. The RAKOURLV 314Ah module is rated at ≥11,000 cycles at 90% DOD — translating to over 159,000 kWh of lifetime throughput per 16 kWh module. At a modest $0.15/kWh electricity spread, that single module returns more than $23,000 in energy savings before end of life. The entry-level 100Ah model still delivers ≥6,000 cycles, covering roughly 8 years of two-cycle daily industrial operation. No competing lead-acid or NMC chemistry reaches these figures at the same capital cost.
TCO Calculator: Capex, Savings and Payback Period
A factory deploying 100 kWh of Rakour battery cycle life-optimized capacity at current wholesale pricing can recover hardware costs within 3–5 years through daily TOU arbitrage and demand charge reduction — leaving 5–10 years of effectively free storage headroom. All models carry a 5+5 year warranty, meaning Rakour shares the performance risk with you for the first decade of operation.

ⓘ Cycle life and DOD figures are based on Rakour product datasheets. Lead-Acid and NMC figures represent published industry benchmarks for C&I stationary storage. Payback period assumes 100 kWh system capacity with daily TOU arbitrage and demand charge reduction at a facility with peak demand charges above $15/kW/month.
Warranty Policy and Global After-Sales Support
Rakour's 5+5 year warranty applies to every model in the RAKOURLV and RAKOURHV lineup — covering both the battery modules and the BCU control unit. Here is exactly what that means in practice.
5+5 Year Warranty: What Is Covered and What Is Not
The first five years are a full product warranty against manufacturing defects and capacity degradation below rated performance. The second five years extend coverage under the condition that the warranty period and lifetime cycle power are not simultaneously exceeded — whichever threshold arrives first closes the claim window. Damage caused by unauthorized modifications, improper installation outside the parameters in the user manual, or operation beyond rated voltage and temperature ranges is excluded.
Remote Monitoring, Firmware Updates and RMA Process
Rakour HV series batteries include a built-in WiFi module that enables real-time SOC, voltage, and fault monitoring from a mobile device — giving your operations team visibility without a site visit. The BCU's external touch screen lets on-site technicians read and configure parameters directly. For warranty claims or replacement units, contact your authorized Rakour dealer; Rakour supplies full technical documentation to support the RMA process with your local distributor.
Lead Times, MOQ and How to Get a Project Quote
Rakour manufactures at our own facility in Xiamen, China — shipping direct to EPC contractors and distributors worldwide without a trading company layer. That supply chain structure keeps lead times competitive and allows custom configurations that a distributor-sourced product cannot offer.
