Frequently Asked Questions

BESS-Market is an independent platform that provides tools and market data for battery storage projects and connects projects with technology providers, EPC partners and investors. It is for companies (B2B), not retail investors. We do not manufacture batteries or build projects ourselves — our role is to reduce transaction costs and increase transparency.

All tools, market data and the member profile are currently free. Paid add-ons for providers (e.g. extended profiles) are planned; we will announce them in advance. On a successful introduction BESS-Market may receive a referral fee from the provider — for project developers brokering is free.

The score evaluates your project across 8 weighted dimensions: grid connection (25%), land & permits (15%), technical configuration (15%), economics (15%), financing (10%), marketing strategy (10%), delivery timeline (5%) and insurance/compliance (5%). Each dimension is scored based on the data you provide, and the total determines your project stage from “Idea” to “Ready to Build”.

Your contact details are never shared automatically. Project data is shown to providers only in anonymised form until you explicitly agree to share your full profile. Every data sharing action is logged and requires your consent.

Start by creating a basic company listing (free). We award a review status (see below) only after actually checking the documents.

We offer three transparency levels: “Listed” (self-declared), “Verified Company” (business registration confirmed) and “Documents Reviewed” (technical datasheets and certificates checked for completeness). We are not an accredited certification body — we verify presence and validity, not technical compliance.

No. We provide tools, data and introductions. Investment decisions, technology selection and project execution remain the responsibility of the parties involved. Our BESS Configurator gives indicative ranges, not investment advice.

Our current focus is Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and the UK. We are expanding to the Nordics and Eastern Europe.
