Revenue model

1. Battery Hardware Sales: MPI Energy generates revenue primarily from selling battery hardware including LFP (lithium iron phosphate) and VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid) batteries as individual cells, modules, and racks. Offerings include batteries, cabinets, racks, and battery monitors. Products serve telecom, data center, energy storage, and industrial markets. Revenue is one-time capital purchase with potential for repeat orders from replacement cycles.
2. Integrated BESS Solutions: Sale of fully integrated Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as turn-key solutions, including containerized systems, cabinet solutions, and rack-based systems. The company works with end users, system integrators, and equipment providers to supply complete BESS solutions. Represents an emerging large segment of overall business as of 2021.
3. Support Services: Support services including auditing, asset tracking, and project management software and services (OMS software platform). These services complement hardware sales and provide ongoing customer value after initial battery deployment.
