The energy storage industry "seems hot", but where are the overestimates
On the surface, the energy storage industry continues to gain popularity, but from an engineering perspective, some aspects are clearly overestimated. The conclusion is: market popularity cannot be equated with engineering value, and blindly following the trend may lead to project risks.
Some companies believe that the high technological content of energy storage systems implies quick profitability, but engineering practice shows that project success relies more on system stability and full lifecycle management. For instance, most energy storage projects have much higher requirements for PCS and BMS than what is advertised in sales promotions, neglecting design rationality, on-site construction standards, and long-term operation and maintenance, which can lead to decreased system efficiency and increased failure rates. Furthermore, unstable supply chains, inconsistent standards, and insufficient construction experience are also aspects that are overestimated.
Another common misconception is the mere pursuit of capacity expansion or functional upgrades, while neglecting engineering controllability. Complex systems require significant engineering resources for installation, debugging, and maintenance; otherwise, high technology itself is difficult to transform into economic value.
Therefore, choosing an enterprise that can provide a full range of energy storage products, power supply products, and solutions helps balance technical, engineering, and long-term operational values. For example, Amax Power fully considers engineering controllability in product and solution design, ensuring that high-performance systems operate safely, stably, and sustainably in practical projects.
