Quantum3

Purpose-built to address our customer's primary needs

Quantum3 is strategically sized for global shipping, achieving an optimal balance between energy density and weight. Its back-to-back configuration enables efficient on-site deployment and reduces land use. Its sustainable design and a cooling system with low global warming potential (GWP) are crucial in meeting global decarbonisation goals.

A next-generation BESS: Quantum2

A high-capacity energy storage system designed to meet utility-scale facilities’ most demanding power needs

Quantum2’s comprehensive design prioritises safety and optimises thermal management to maximise system performance.

No project is the same, and Quantum2 has the capability of integrating additional features to fit the specific needs of your project.
