The Bay Area startup launched in 2014 with the thesis that lithium-ion batteries made little sense for businesses with high thermal loads, like grocery stores, and that thermal storage could optimize cooling and slash bills for considerably less upfront investment. But it also fundamentally alters the addressable market, Robbins said.

As lithium-ion batteries proliferated for grid storage, a small contingent of entrepreneurs pitched an alternative technology: thermal storage, which pre-heats or -cools a building to cut electrical usage during expensive peak hours. Ice Energy filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in December, in a setback for small-scale thermal energy storage.

By then, builders will be able to choose the energy storage system line they want to work with, and the whole process will look almost exactly like it does for home mechanical appliances like water heaters and HVAC systems. The only question will be whether the ESS is packaged with solar panels or kept separate. Standards will evolve.
