Ornate solar is the leading bess manufacturer india
battery energy storage system in india

UnityESS is a battery energy storage system (BESS) brand from Ornate Solar and Inverted Energy, built in India for Indian sites. Three systems cover the range: Aura for commercial and industrial sites, Aqua for large industrial and open access users, and Ultima for utility-scale. Energy, when you need it.

You do not wait for a streaming service to decide when you watch. Yet factories, hospitals, and farms across India still wait for the grid to decide when they have power. Storage changes that. It captures energy when the grid or the sun has it and releases it the moment you need it. Here is who we are, what we build, and where the world is heading.

Why India needs Energy storage system

India is adding battery energy storage system faster than solar, so energy made at noon is often not there at seven in the evening.

India’s non-fossil capacity reached 300.50 GW on 31 July 2026, over 60% of the 2030 target, with solar at 164.59 GW (Business Today). Storage is catching up: Mercom India Research reports 8.2 GWh added in the first half of 2026, about 84 times the same period of 2025, taking installed capacity to 9.3 GWh. The government is backing it with ₹5,400 crore of viability gap funding for 30 GWh, and the Central Electricity Authority expects India to need 236 GWh of BESS by 2031-32 (Business Standard). Mercom adds that the questions are now system availability, cycling performance, safety, and degradation. Those are the questions we have spent nine years on.

What is UnityESS?

UnityESS is a joint venture of Ornate Solar and Inverted Energy that designs, builds, commissions and monitors battery energy storage system in India. We do not sell boxes. We take a project from load profile to year twenty, with one team.

Ornate Solar has deployed 1 GW+ of solar for 7,100+ customers. Inverted Energy, founded by IIT engineers, runs three factories with 6.5 GWh of annual battery capacity. We make our systems in Ghiloth, Rajasthan.

Four commitments

  • Energy, when you need it. Stored energy, released the moment you need it.
  • Proven Before Promised. Every system is tested against your site before it goes live.
  • Built for you, always with you, always you. One team sizes, commissions, and monitors your system for 20 years.
  • Energy with intelligence. Unity EMS, built by us, learns your site and keeps your cost of storage falling.

Three systems. One family.

System Cooling Capacity Best for
Aura Air cooled 100 to 225 kWh Factories, warehouses, hospitals, data centres, cold storage
Aqua Liquid cooled 261 kWh to 3 MWh (415, 690 or 800 V) Large industrial sites and open access users
Ultima Liquid cooled, 20-foot container Up to 6.25 MWh Utilities, IPPs, solar and hybrid projects

All models use LFP cells rated for ≥10,000 cycles, except Aura, which uses LFP cells rated for 8,000 cycles. All are designed and tested to IEC 62619, IEC 61000, UL 9540A and UN 38.3

UnityESS Aura: the complete system in one cabinet

UnityESS Aura puts cells, BMS, power conversion, thermal management, and fire protection into one standardised outdoor cabinet, with a switching time under 20 milliseconds and a built-in MPPT input for solar. It suits any site where a power cut costs more than the system: factories, warehouses, hospitals, data centres and cold storage.

C&I energy storage system

UnityESS Aqua: liquid cooling for industrial scale

Aqua is the industrial workhorse. Liquid cooling holds tighter thermal control across the cell stack, which extends cycle life, keeps performance steady in high ambient heat, and allows more power in the same footprint. It spans three voltage tiers, UnityESS Aqua 4, 6, and 8, and scales by adding modules in parallel. In Coimbatore, an Aqua system runs a first-of-its-kind BESS-integrated EV charging deployment.

Hybrid energy storage solution

UnityESS Ultima: utility scale in a 20-foot container

UnityESS Ultima packs batteries, PCS, liquid thermal management, fire protection, and Unity EMS into a single 20-foot container, with IP66 protection for coastal and high-humidity sites. It handles ramp-rate control, frequency response, peak shaving, and shifting midday solar to the evening peak. At Phalodi, Rajasthan, seven Ultima containers were commissioned together to make 35 MWh, and they are still running.

Containerized energy storage solution

Unity EMS: the intelligence in every system

Unity EMS is the energy management software we built in-house. It runs on every UnityESS system and decides in real time whether to charge from solar, import from the grid or discharge, based on your load and tariff. It extends battery life and gets more efficient as it learns your site. Our operations centre monitors it 24/7, on the same dashboard you see.

Proven Before Promised

Every UnityESS system is tested against the conditions of your site before it goes live, and our own engineers commission it. Systems are running today in:

  • Phalodi, Rajasthan: 35 MWh, seven Ultima containers commissioned together.
  • Bikaner, Rajasthan: 5 MWh of solar-plus-storage.
  • Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: 261 kWh Aqua system, a first-of-its-kind BESS-integrated EV charging site.
  • Maharashtra: 34 MWh offsetting peak-tariff grid power for a business.

Always with you

We are built around what comes after the sale. The team that sizes your system and commissions it also monitors it in year seven. Every project starts with a sizing report and a lifecycle simulation for years one, five and twenty, before you commit. A BESS installed today will still be running in 2044. Always You.

Where it is used: factories, hospitals, utility grids, solar plus storage, data centres and agriculture.

Frequently asked questions

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?2026-09-23T11:37:37+05:30

A BESS captures electricity from solar, wind or the grid at off-peak hours, stores it in battery cells, and releases it when needed. It combines cells, power electronics, a battery management system, cooling and fire protection, with software that decides when to charge and dispatch.

How much battery storage does India have, and how much does it need?2026-09-23T11:38:56+05:30

India had 9.3 GWh installed at the end of June 2026, per Mercom India Research. The Central Electricity Authority estimates 236 GWh of BESS will be needed by 2031-32. Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra hold over 60% of installed capacity.

What are the UnityESS products?2026-09-23T11:40:58+05:30

Unity Aura is air cooled, 100 to 225 kWh, for commercial and industrial sites. Unity Aqua is liquid cooled, 261 kWh to 3 MWh, for industrial and open access users. Unity Ultima is a 20-foot container of up to 6.25 MWh for utility scale. See www.unityess.ai.

What is the difference between air-cooled and liquid-cooled BESS?2026-09-23T11:43:43+05:30

Air-cooled systems suit smaller commercial loads, as in Aura. Liquid cooling holds cell temperatures tighter, allows more power in the same footprint and keeps performance steady in high ambient heat. Aqua and Ultima are liquid cooled.

How long does a BESS last?2026-09-23T11:48:36+05:30

UnityESS systems are rated for 10,000+ cycles and designed for a 20-year life. Real life depends on cycling, temperature and software. Unity EMS is built to extend battery life, and we model years one, five and twenty before you commit.

Who is the best BESS manufacturer in India?2026-09-23T11:52:51+05:30

No manufacturer is best for every site. Compare cell chemistry and cycle life, safety testing, in-house software, who commissions the system, and monitoring after handover. UnityESS is built on those five points. See Ornate Solar’s guide to BESS manufacturers in India.
