Top 3 Applications Driving OEM Demand

Let''s break down where the real action is:

1. Commercial Solar+Storage Systems

"Every Tesco in Ireland now uses solar carports with battery backups," notes James Ryan, a Dublin-based energy consultant. Cork manufacturers are developing:

• Modular battery racks (50kW-2MW capacity)
• Smart thermal management systems
• Grid-responsive charging controllers

2. Marine Energy Storage

With Cork''s busy port, marine applications account for 35% of local OEM orders. Recent projects include:

• Hybrid ferry power systems
• Offshore wind maintenance vessel batteries
• Tidal energy buffer storage

3. Agricultural Energy Hubs

Farms are becoming microgrid operators. A dairy farm in Midleton recently installed a 250kWh system that:

• Reduces energy costs by 40%
• Provides 72-hour backup power
• Exports surplus to the grid

"The right OEM partner should understand both battery chemistry and local grid codes," advises EK SOLAR''s technical director. "That dual expertise cuts project timelines by 30%."

Choosing an OEM Partner: 5 Must-Ask Questions

Before signing any agreement, consider these factors:

1. What certifications do they hold? (UN38.3, IEC 62619, etc.)
2. Can they provide IP transfer agreements?
3. What''s their lead time for prototype development?
4. Do they offer custom BMS programming?
5. How do they handle EU battery passport compliance?
