SiteGrid X500 Industrial BESS
High-Capacity Power Unit
The SiteGrid X500 is engineered for applications with high energy consumption and sudden load surges. With a substantial capacity of 509 kWh, it delivers a dependable, stable power supply across both base and peak load scenarios, making it ideal for dynamic and heavy-duty environments.
Designed to perform in harsh conditions, the SiteGrid X500 enhances energy efficiency by significantly reducing reliance on diesel generators—cutting runtime by up to 80%. This not only lowers fuel consumption and emissions but also extends the lifespan of supporting equipment.
Whether it’s powering equipment with strict energy demands or providing emergency backup, the SiteGrid X500 offers a robust, cost-effective, and sustainable power solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the SiteGrid X500 is engineered for intense industrial and infrastructure use, including high demand and sudden peak surges. It has high capacity and serious power to meet the challenges of everything from tower cranes to heavy duty site equipment including waste and recycling plants, industrial estates, heavy duty pumps and grid support/ resilience projects.
The SiteGrid X500 has impressive capabilities including a battery capacity of 676kWh, inverter power of 540kVA and peak power of 810kVA delivering dependable, consistent high output power to meet even the toughest demands.
With a battery capacity of 676kWh and peak power of 810kVA, there is very little that the SiteGrid X500 is not suitable for. It can rise to the challenge of most dynamic and heavy duty operations with ease including heavy duty site equipment including waste and recycling plants, industrial estates, heavy duty pumps and grid support/ resilience projects
Normally, yes, but not with Think Hire. With some manufacturers, the larger the BESS the longer it takes to charge, but all Think Hire BESS units, including the SiteGrid X500, are engineered to charge within just 2 hours, saving significant time on site.
The SiteGrid X500 is equipped with high-current outlets to match its impressive power. This includes a hardwired 800A Power Safe Busbar and two 125A three-phase five-pin IP67 Commando Sockets. This allows you to connect even the most demanding equipment safely and securely.
Yes. The SiteGrid X500 is designed to integrate renewable energy in a hybrid power system. This includes solar power, wind energy and hydro-electric energy. Together with traditional diesel generators and grid connections this creates a clean, cost-effective power supply.
Yes. The efficiency of the SiteGrid X500 can significantly reduce generator run time, which in turn cuts fuel use and reduces emissions of CO2, NOx and particulate matter. It also facilitates the use of renewable energy, which further reduces emissions.
No. In fact, quite the opposite. Because a large BESS removes the need for large, noisy diesel generators, it can actually cut noise on site significantly. Furthermore, a BESS results in reduced runtime of these smaller generators, which means even less noise, with silent running available through site configuration.
Yes. The SiteGrid X500 is equipped with skid mounting, forklift / telehandler pockets and a lifting ring making it easy to deploy on site and redeploy as your project progresses. Rapid charging and plug-n-play technology mean you can be up and running in just a couple of hours. The dimensions of this unit are L: 2.99m W:2.44m H:2.60m. The weight is 10500kg.
Yes. The huge energy storage capacity of the SiteGrid X500 means you can save all the renewable energy you generate from solar panels and wind turbines as well as hydro turbines so none of it goes to waste. This energy can be used later when there is no daylight or wind.
In most BESS set-ups, a back-up generator is still needed to ensure continuity of supply. However, this does not have to be diesel powered, and could use HVO, LPG or glycerine fuel. BESS can also be charged using energy from the grid and renewables if this is available.
Peak shaving and load sharing are just two of the ways that BESS units manage energy use on site. The SiteGrid X500 also includes Think Energy Panorama for remote energy monitoring and control, giving operators the data they need to optimise their energy generation, storage and distribution.
