Power Factors leads hybrid energy revolution as North American BESS market surges

SAN FRANCISCO, California, September 5, 2025 – Power Factors, the global leader in renewable energy management solutions, is strengthening its leadership in the North American market with an expanded project footprint and advanced functionality for hybrid sites, supporting solar, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and microgrid integration under a unified control architecture.  

The timing of this expansion is critical as demand surges for hybrid renewable energy systems across North America. While the industry rushes to develop hybrid capabilities to meet accelerating market needs, Power Factors has already delivered, building on its unmatched experience managing 310 GW of wind, solar, and BESS assets across 18,000 sites in more than 70 countries. 

Today, Power Factors has surpassed 34 GWh of BESS under management globally, with recent projects including one of the world’s largest standalone BESS projects in Arizona and utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects in Texas and California. These complex systems in the critical CAISO and ERCOT markets demonstrate Power Factors’ expertise in navigating North America's most demanding grid environments.
