Capture Every Dollar of the Incentive Stack. Bankable C&I BESS Proposals in 2 Minutes.
Stop losing deals to 2-week engineering backlogs and rigid 1-hour modeling tools. IVE BESS ingests raw 15-minute interval data, resolves complex utility tariffs, and calculates state and federal incentive yields instantly.
THE ORGINATION BOTTLENECK
Legacy Modeling Is Costing You High-Margin Storage Deals
The 1-Hour Granularity Gap
Generic solar software compresses utility data into 60-minute averages, missing sharp 15-minute demand spikes. Underestimating peak loads leads to undersized batteries, missed demand-charge savings, and broken client ROI guarantees.
Incentive Blind Spots
State storage rules like NJ GSESP Phase 2, MA SMART, and regional clean energy grants are constantly shifting. Sizing a system without native incentive rules leaves six figures of project equity on the table.
The Engineering Queue Freeze
Waiting 5 to 10 business days for external consulting studies at $2,000 per site turns prospective commercial off-takers cold before you even deliver an indicative term sheet.
THE 4-LAYER UNLOCKED VALUE ENGINE
Every Revenue Stream & Incentive Stacked Automatically
Automated permitting has made standard rooftop PV faster across California — but the moment a project isn't standard, it drops into the regular queue with no shortcut back out.
01
Regional State Storage Mandates
Directly factors in state-level capacity grants, performance-based milestones, and upfront voucher caps across active storage markets.
02
IRA Tax Credits & Bonus Adders
Models base Section 48 ITC alongside 10% Energy Community, Low-Income Economic Justice, and Domestic Content adders into your 20-year cash flow.
03
Precision 15-Minute Peak Shaving
Matches 35,040 raw interval readings against utility demand ratchet rules, co-incident peak charges, and time-of-use rate structures.
04
Cell-Grade Degradation & Dispatch
Simulates multi-year battery health, depth-of-discharge constraints, and round-trip efficiency loss to generate audit-ready financial pro-formas for tax equity partners.
