“Texas Energy Storage Solutions-TESS” offers a range of services to ensure the successful implementation of BESS projects. Our company functions as a classic general contractor, that is having back-to-back liability with the construction companies by leveraging outsourced construction and civil work to deliver high-quality results (basically transferring the liabilities to them).

In collaboration with well-known, reliable Chinese battery manufacturers, “TESS” will source the finest battery cells and modules. These state-of-the-art components form the foundation of our BESS installations, guaranteeing the highest level of performance and reliability.

To ensure the seamless assembly and integration of the battery systems, our team will oversee the container assembly process. In cases where it is necessary, we set up dedicated contract facilities in the United States to streamline the production process.

For the critical components of Battery Management System (BMS) and Energy Management System (EMS), we have partnered with Fractal. Our collaboration with Fractal, enables us to procure industry leading BMS and EMS technologies. These cutting-edge systems optimize the performance and efficiency of our BESS installations.

At “TESS”, we understand the importance of selecting the right inverters for our BESS projects. Whether it’s embedded or external inverters, our team of experts will carefully evaluate and choose the most suitable inverters based on project requirements and performance objectives.

In addition to sourcing the necessary components, we assist the Client to procure all the required Balance of Plant (BOP) components. Our extensive network of suppliers ensures that we can secure the highest-quality components, guaranteeing the longevity and reliability of our BESS installations.

To ensure the smooth execution of every project, we take a meticulous approach to define the scope of supply, establish realistic schedules, and identify critical milestones. This comprehensive planning process allows us to deliver projects on time and within budget.

Managing the contractual aspects of every project is of utmost importance to us. As part of our service, “TESS” can oversee and coordinate all contractual agreements with suppliers and manufacturers, on behalf of the Client. Our experienced team can ensure clear communication and smooth collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.

We prioritize the safety and security of every project site. “TESS” will arrange comprehensive insurance coverage for the site and provide performance guarantees to our clients. These measures safeguard the interests of all stakeholders involved in the project.

Obtaining the necessary connection, permits and certificates is an essential part of our project management process. Our team will handle all the paperwork and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, allowing for smooth and efficient project execution.

At “TESS”, we understand the importance of meticulous preparation. We diligently prepare the bid and all project documentation. Our thorough approach ensures that every aspect of the project is carefully considered and documented for a successful proposal.

Risk assessment is a vital component of project planning. Our team will perform a comprehensive risk assessment and develop a risk matrix for each project. This proactive approach enables us to identify potential risks and implement effective mitigation strategies, ensuring project success.

With our strong project management skills, “TESS” will supervise the construction phase, ensuring the highest quality standards are met. We have established partnerships with local civil companies and are also open to working with the client’s preferred contractors. Our goal is to deliver a flawless construction process that meets all project requirements and exceeds client expectations. We will coordinate the construction companies, but will not be liable for their delays and performance (EPC-M).

Commissioning is a critical phase of any BESS project. At “TESS”, our team of experts will conduct a thorough commissioning process, ensuring that the entire BESS system, from the secondary of the high voltage transformer to the individual battery cell level, is fully operational and optimized for performance.

Our commitment to our clients goes beyond project completion. “TESS” will manage the warranty period and provide comprehensive Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services. Our dedicated team will ensure that the BESS system operates at peak performance throughout its lifecycle (20 years), minimizing downtime and maximizing energy efficiency.
