Microgrids
for the real world.
We develop resilient, site‑level energy infrastructure — solar, battery storage, intelligent controls, and EV charging — for commercial properties, multifamily, small business, and public charging sites.
Energy infrastructure that doesn’t flinch.
A microgrid is a site‑level energy system that can operate with or without the utility grid. Done right, it lowers operating cost, protects uptime, and makes every asset on the site — including EV charging — work harder.
- 01
Resilience
Keep sites online through outages. Islanding capability, battery backup, and controls that restart loads in the right order.
- 02
Utility cost control
Shift demand, shave peaks, and participate in demand‑response programs — turning the meter into a managed asset.
- 03
Distributed energy
Solar, storage, and on‑site generation working as one system — sized for the load, not the sales deck.
- 04
Cleaner power
Reduce scope‑2 emissions with on‑site renewables, without giving up reliability during grid events.
- 05
Intelligent controls
Site energy management that orchestrates generation, storage, and loads in real time — including EV charging.
- 06
Future‑ready
Infrastructure built to absorb the next asset you add — more solar, more storage, more chargers, V2G.
Every layer talks to every other layer.
Most sites end up with a stack of disconnected vendors. CES designs a single system where each layer is aware of the others — so the whole site behaves like one asset.

- 02Battery storageBehind‑the‑meter capacity for backup and peak shaving.
- 03Site controlsReal‑time orchestration of generation, storage, and loads.
- 04EV chargingLevel‑2 and DC fast charging — integrated, not bolted on.
- 05Utility interfaceTariff, interconnection, and demand‑response management.
Built for the sites you operate.
Four deployment archetypes, one platform. Each one starts the same way — with a site review and a microgrid assessment.
Keep the doors open, the lights on, and the meter in check.
Solar‑plus‑storage sized to the building load, with intelligent controls that reduce demand charges and ride through outages.
- Rooftop or carport solar
- Behind‑the‑meter storage
- Peak shaving & demand response
- Fleet or public EV charging layer
Charging is a layer, not the whole platform.
Charging, inside the energy plan.
EV charging is an operating layer on top of a well‑designed microgrid. When generation, storage, and controls are already on site, chargers cost less to run, install faster, and don't blow past the utility's service limit.

Level‑2 & DC fast charging
A long‑term infrastructure partner — not just an installer.
CES partners with property owners and operators to deploy microgrids and charging infrastructure across portfolios — with owner‑friendly commercial structures, long‑term support, and a platform that scales with your sites.
Site review
We study the load profile, roof or parcel, service capacity, and utility tariff.
Microgrid assessment
A right‑sized design across solar, storage, controls, and — where it fits — EV charging.
Partner deployment
CES delivers, integrates, and supports the system long term — as an infrastructure partner.
We develop practical, resilient energy infrastructure — for real sites.
We develop practical, resilient energy infrastructure — for real sites.
CES is a serious microgrid and energy infrastructure company that also deploys EV charging — not a generic charging brand trying to expand into energy later.
