What Blue Planet Energy Systems LLC does

Blue Planet Energy Systems LLC, doing business as Blue Planet Energy, is a Honolulu-headquartered private company that designs and manufactures lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems for residential, commercial, and community microgrid applications. The company's product line centers on the Blue Ion platform — Blue Ion HI for residential and commercial use in 8, 12, and 16 kWh modular capacities, and Blue Ion LX for grid-scale deployments — with the BlueWave residential system launched at RE+ in September 2023 extending the lineup. All systems use LFP chemistry selected for safety (no thermal runaway, Emergency Pressure Release System), carry UL9540 and UL9540A certifications, and are paired with a 15-year performance warranty covering 8,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, which the company positions as industry-leading.

The business operates on a hardware-sales model augmented by paid technical support services (billed at $250 per hour effective September 1, 2025), with pricing quote-based through a certified dealer and installer network rather than direct-to-consumer. Distribution spans a domestic dealer base (e.g., Michigan Solar Solutions), EPC contractors (e.g., Alaska Native Renewable Industries), and international partners (e.g., MGM Ingenieria y Proyectos and Hemeva S.A.S in Colombia). Customer segments are explicitly segmented into residential, commercial, and community/municipal, with documented projects ranging from luxury off-grid residences to the Shungnak, Alaska 384 kWh Arctic community microgrid and the CORTEPAZ cocoa processing plant in Colombia.

The company is founder-controlled by Henk Rogers, who also founded the Tetris Company and Blue Planet Alliance; there is no disclosed venture or growth-equity capital, and the only funding round in the data set is a 2019 round with Elemental Impact. Recent operational signals are mixed: a new product launch in 2023, ongoing case-study publication, and a 2025 restructuring of technical support to a paid services model. The company maintains an active website, RE+ trade-show presence, and dealer support infrastructure.

Core offering

Blue Planet Energy manufactures and sells modular lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems under the Blue Ion brand for residential, commercial, and community/microgrid applications. The product line includes the Blue Ion HI (residential/commercial, 8-16 kWh), Blue Ion LX (commercial and utility-scale), and BlueWave (residential, launched 2023). Systems are sold through a certified dealer and installer network, with project-based sales for large community microgrids.

Product overview

Blue Planet Energy offers a portfolio of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery storage systems designed for residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications. The core product line consists of Blue Ion HI (premium residential/commercial, 8-16 kWh modular capacities), Blue Ion LX (commercial/utility-scale for grid projects), and BlueWave (new residential system launched 2023). All products share LFP chemistry for safety, 15-year warranties, modular/expandable architecture, and compatibility with leading inverters and solar systems. The company positions itself as a provider of complete energy storage solutions rather than a single product.

Direct peers

• Tesla: Tesla's Powerwall is the dominant residential and light-commercial LFP/NMC battery storage system sold through a certified installer network. It is the primary competitor Blue Planet Energy must differentiate against on safety, warranty, and premium positioning.
• FranklinWH: FranklinWH offers a whole-home LFP battery storage system marketed to premium residential installers with long warranty and high safety profile — a close direct competitor to Blue Planet Energy's premium residential positioning.
• LG Energy Solution: LG Energy Solution's RESU line is a residential lithium battery system sold globally through solar installers; it competes with Blue Ion HI on residential LFP storage share and is sometimes specified in the same projects as Blue Planet Energy.
• Pylontech: Pylontech is a leading Chinese LFP battery manufacturer whose US5000/Force series are widely used in residential and small commercial solar-plus-storage systems — a volume competitor on LFP safety and modularity versus Blue Ion HI.
• Generac: Generac PWRcell is a modular residential battery storage product sold through Generac's large certified installer network, competing with Blue Planet Energy on price, modularity, and installer-driven residential channels.
• Enphase Energy: Enphase IQ Battery is an LFP-based residential storage system sold through solar installers and tightly integrated with Enphase microinverters. It competes head-to-head with Blue Ion HI on safety, modularity, and warranty terms.
• SimpliPhi Power: SimpliPhi manufactures LFP-based stationary battery storage for residential, commercial, and microgrid applications — directly competing with Blue Ion HI and LX on LFP chemistry, safety profile, and off-grid/resilience use cases.
• Sonnen: Sonnen (now part of Enphase for US residential) manufactures premium LFP and lithium residential battery systems sold through certified installers in the US and Europe, directly comparable to Blue Ion HI on safety, warranty, and premium home segment.

Others

• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric is both an inverter integration partner for Blue Ion and a broader energy management and storage solutions provider (Square D, EcoStruxure). It is an ecosystem/integration peer rather than a direct storage competitor at Blue Planet Energy's scale.

Broad incumbents

• BYD: BYD is a global battery manufacturer with both stationary storage (Battery-Box) and EV/mobility lines; its broad LFP scale and competitive pricing make it a structural incumbent threat to specialty players like Blue Planet Energy across residential and microgrid segments.
