Prompt

Are there any site energy system integrators that focus on battery retrofit projects with monitoring and controls integration?

Yes — there are integrators and EPCs that specialize in battery retrofit projects and also handle monitoring / controls / EMS integration, though they’re often marketed under broader labels like microgrid integrator, energy storage integrator, BMS/controls contractor, or building energy systems integrator.

What to look for

For retrofit work, the best-fit firms usually offer:

  • Battery energy storage system (BESS) retrofits
  • SCADA / EMS / BMS integration
  • Controls and metering integration
  • Commissioning and performance monitoring
  • Site energy optimization / demand management
  • Compatibility with existing PV, gensets, switchgear, UPS, or building automation

Types of companies that do this

  1. Microgrid / energy storage integrators

    • Often strongest on site controls, monitoring, and dispatch logic
    • Good for commercial/industrial retrofits
  2. Electrical contractors with controls capabilities

    • Can handle interconnection, switchgear modifications, and controls wiring
    • Often better for existing-site retrofit complexity
  3. OEM-backed integrators

    • Work around a specific battery or inverter platform
    • Can be good if you already know the equipment family
  4. Building automation / energy management firms

    • Best if the retrofit needs tie-ins to BMS, HVAC, metering, alarms, and dashboards

Examples of firms/brands to investigate

Depending on your region and project size, you may want to look at:

  • S&C Electric
  • Schneider Electric
  • Siemens
  • ABB
  • Ghamys / C&I energy storage integrators
  • Scale Microgrid Solutions
  • Custom Power / regional EPC-integrators
  • Ameresco
  • Enel X (where active)
  • Burns & McDonnell
  • Meyer Burger / regional EPCs for combined retrofit scopes

Questions to ask them

To quickly screen for fit, ask:

  • Do you do retrofit projects, or only new-build?
  • Can you integrate with existing monitoring, controls, and BMS/SCADA?
  • Have you worked with brownfield electrical infrastructure?
  • Can you support commissioning, ongoing monitoring, and remote troubleshooting?
  • Do you provide vendor-neutral integration or only your preferred battery platform?
  • Can you deliver performance guarantees or O&M support?

Best next step

If you tell me:

  • your country/region
  • project type (commercial building, industrial site, campus, utility, telecom, etc.)
  • approximate battery size
  • whether you need BMS/SCADA/EMS integration

…I can give you a shortlist of more relevant site energy system integrators that specifically fit battery retrofit + controls/monitoring work.
