ABOUT US
Battery Banq has capacity to manufacture and integrate circa 1 GWhrs of BESS per annum and has factories in Johannesburg and Richards Bay. They shareholders of Battery Banq is a collaboration between Energy Banq, and energy optimisation specialist (www.energybanq.co.za) and TurnKey Modular Pty Ltd., a manufacturer of large scale modular engineered products (www.turnkey.africa). The venture delivers a high quality fully integrated BESS + SCADA systems, with all design and engineering being above to be done in-house and is aimed at solving the specific energy challenges for the long term, delivering a fit-for-purpose sustainable solution, instead of just dropping a box and hoping its works.

Reliable Energy Security
DECENTRALIZED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
The Battery Banq BESS allows the client to effectively store electricity during off- peak periods (grid-based system) and excess solar capacity (renewable-based system) to reduce overall energy cost.
The BESS can also be used to absorb load demand spikes and protect other generation technologies, like generators, from having to load match, since they will see a steady demand from the BESS.
The BESS serves as much more than just a backup power source when used correctly and becomes the heart of an elegant energy management system delivering lower aggregated electricity costs.
WHY BESS?
As the global energy landscape evolves, the integration of renewable energy sources is becoming essential. BESS enable users to store energy, reduce costs, and stabilise grid performance. In summary:
- Our BESS has multi-faceted benefits and applications across the new energy mix
- Provides a strategic advantage in energy management by optimising costs
- Enhances grid stability
- Integrates renewables
- Improves utility resilience.
Our BESS mirrors the telecom industry’s method of minimising expenses while maximising service reliability and efficiency.

The Battery Banq Manufacturing and Assembly Approach
The Battery Banq approach streamlines the entire process by having a single provider manage all aspects of design, component procurement, fabrication, testing, transport, installation, and handover.
Controlled handover and hand-back procedures ensure that sub-system installations can proceed concurrently rather than sequentially, significantly accelerating deployment
Enhanced cost predictability by shifting most of the implementation effort from the construction site to a controlled factory environment allows BatteryBanq to offer significant cost advantages
Self-jigging assembly philosophy of prefabricated solutions is designed for ease of assembly, reducing errors.
- Single Point Accountability
- Established Engineering Processes
- Reduced Supply Chain Impacts
- Lower On-Site Costs and simplified logistics
- Controlled Construction Environment
- Material Verification and Quality Control
- Accessible Inspection
- Productive Work Environment
- Lower Construction Labor Requirements
- Ideal for Electrical and Control Installations
- Minimized Site Access Needs
- Weather Independent construction timeline
Why Battery Banq?
Battery Banq delivers fully integrated BESS solutions, minimizing on-site work and reducing costs. Our systems are built offsite, with a focus on quality and cost efficiency, pre-tested, and delivered ready for seamless integration.
Battery Banq was born in recognition of the need to deliver to site fully functional, tested and commissioned electrical plants.
Our unique approach to the constructing and commissioning incorporates all the operational components off site, and hence minimizing on site requirements like EPC, onsite integration, commissioning and cost over runs (P&G’s), normally associated with this scale of infrastructure and contracting
We have had extensive experience in the ICT, mining, oil and gas sectors with an in-depth understanding of these sectors unique requirements and are ISO 9001 and Safety – ISO 45001 accredited.
MONITORING AND POWER MANAGEMENT
Our offering has enhanced monitoring and after sales service, to assist in energy management and optimisation of energy use and infrastructure. Efficient energy management requires management of renewable sources of energy, balanced with the traditional sources and deployed via a smart inverter with grid forming ability. Our BESS backed by a full-term 10- year SLA, aims to optimise the supply and demand side of energy infrastructure and the application at hand.
Our BESS is wrapped in a SCADA system that will control, monitor, and analyze the:
- Energy Storage system
- Energy discharge for grid and off-grid operations
- State of charge of the BESS
- Energy management system
