About StoreWatt: BESS Field Toolkit
StoreWatt is the offline field toolkit for the people who keep grid scale and large commercial battery energy storage systems running: commissioning crews and O&M technicians on standalone and solar plus storage sites. A battery is always energized. It cannot be switched off, lockout tagout cannot fully de energize it, and DC arcs do not self extinguish. StoreWatt is built around that reality: safety guidance is woven through every calculator, reference entry, decision tree, and form. Everything works with zero connectivity. All content ships inside the app; no account, no server, no signal required. BATTERY CALCULATORS (formula, worked steps, citation) * SOC windows and usable energy * State of health, capacity fade, and augmentation timing * C rate, power, energy, and duration * Round trip efficiency: delivered energy, losses, required charge * Sizing with degradation reserve, window comparison * Throughput and cycles versus warranty limits * DC conductor and OCPD checks with NEC derating tables * DC arc flash awareness, unit converter, series and parallel math CROSS VENDOR REFERENCE LIBRARY * BMS fault families, each with an ordered list of what to check, most likely cause first: cell voltage, imbalance, insulation, contactors, comms * PCS faults with the same treatment, plus EMS dispatch behavior and thermal management * Brand notes: Sungrow PowerTitan, Tesla Megapack, Fluence Gridstack, SMA, Power Electronics, EPC Power * CAN bus, Modbus RTU and TCP, RS 485, DNP3, IEC 61850 * PLC and SCADA platforms, power plant controller, ANSI device numbers * Standards summaries: NFPA 855, UL 9540 and 9540A, NEC 706 and 480, NFPA 70E, IEEE 1547, IFC GUIDED TROUBLESHOOTING Decision trees for a plant that is not dispatching, rack and module isolation, insulation faults, thermal problems, and comms failures. Safety critical findings render red with a stop work posture, never a blind reset. SITE PAPERWORK TO PDF A LOTO permit built for stranded energy, energized work permit, commissioning and acceptance records, fire and gas verification, ERP drill log, JHA tailboard, work orders, and O&M checklists. Photos, signatures, crew sign in, autofill from your profiles, whole site packet export, and an outbox that queues email until you find signal. RECEIPT TRACKER Scan a receipt in the truck: on device OCR reads the vendor, amount, date, and category, then emails a clean PDF copy to the office and to you. FREE AND PRO The reference library with search, the SOC and usable energy calculator, and the unit converter are free forever. StoreWatt Pro unlocks the full calculator suite, all ten forms with PDF export, the receipt tracker, and the guided decision trees. StoreWatt is a field aid, not a substitute for NFPA 855, UL 9540 and UL 9540A, the NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE 1547, the IFC, manufacturer manuals, or the site PE stamped drawings and Emergency Response Plan. An ESS qualified person is required for safety critical work. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS StoreWatt Pro is available as a monthly subscription for $14.99, an annual subscription for $119.99 with a 7 day free trial for first time subscribers, or a one time lifetime unlock for $299.99.

What’s new
Version 1.1.4 · Updated September 4, 2026
Four new reference sections, twenty entries. Plan Sets and Drawings: reading a BESS package in the order that saves time, the one line from cells out to the point of interconnection, the three line for protection and metering, container and block layouts, conductor and device schedules, and grounding plans. Applications and Use Cases: peak shaving and demand charges, time of use arbitrage, backup power and islanding, frequency regulation, black start and microgrid operation, and why the application decides whether what you are looking at is a fault at all. Mechanical and Structural: torque and witness marking on power connections, fastener anchoring and container attachment, seismic ratings and structural loading, and mounting system degradation. Decommissioning and Disposal: bringing a system to a safe state for removal, Class 9 transport rules including damaged and defective cells, recycling and second life, and manufacturer notification and records. All of it works with no signal, like the rest of the library.
