Exide Technologies, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable battery storage solutions for automotive and industrial applications, proudly unveils the Solition Mega Five—a next-generation 5.5 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) designed to meet the evolving needs of utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) customers across Europe.
Engineered for performance, safety, and scalability—both for front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) applications—the Solition Mega Five delivers exceptional energy density in a compact 20-foot container, setting a new benchmark for energy footprint efficiency.
Modular architecture & high performance
The system’s liquid-cooled architecture and high-density modular design enable more energy storage within the same footprint—perfectly aligning with the industry trend toward compact, high-capacity solutions.
With fewer yet larger cells, the design minimizes failure potential, enhances reliability, and reduces total cost of ownership, while advanced Battery Management System (BMS) technology ensures continuous monitoring and optimal system performance. To ensure quality and manufacturing integrity, each cell is inspected during production using X-ray and CT detection technologies.
Exide also offers a tailor-made skid solution for the Solition Mega Five, a pre-assembled, transportable unit that houses all essential components—such as inverters, transformers, and medium-voltage switchgear—enabling a fast-track installation and seamless integration into existing medium-voltage grid infrastructure while simplifying project planning, permitting, and commissioning for large-scale deployments.
Key Highlights
- High Efficiency & Safety: Up to 95% system efficiency, triple-layer fault protection, and more than 300 safety tests ensure maximum reliability.
- Compact Power: 5 MWh capacity in a standard 20-foot container—more energy, less space.
- Smart & Secure: AI-based diagnostics, EU-developed software, and secure data hosting within the European Union.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for grid balancing, self-consumption optimization, microgrids, off-grid supply, and energy trading.
European expertise, data security & end-to-end service
Developed and manufactured in Europe, Solition Mega Five combines engineering excellence with data sovereignty. Exide offers a full-service approach—from consulting and project design to installation, certification, and long-term service.
The company’s proprietary energy management software is developed and maintained in-house, with all operational data securely hosted on European servers in compliance with EU regulations.
Meeting market demand
“Solition Mega Five represents a major leap in energy storage—combining performance, safety, and smart design in one compact system,” said Malte Schnabel, Product Manager BESS at Exide Technologies.
“This BESS system meets the latest requirements of utility-scale (incl. co-location) and C&I customers. With short delivery times and strong early demand across Europe, we’re excited to see Solition Mega Five already making an impact,” said Tobias Badelt, Sales Director BESS at Exide Technologies.
