What Sermatec does

Sermatec, founded in Shanghai in 2017 and operating as Shanghai Sermatec Energy Technology Co., Ltd., is a vertically integrated energy storage system provider positioning itself as an 'energy digitalization operator with energy storage at its core.' The company designs and manufactures battery energy storage hardware — the Serlattice series of liquid-cooled container systems (5.015MWh, 6.261MWh, and 7.044MWh models using 588Ah cells) and the EASYCUBE series of outdoor cabinets (215kWh, 261kWh, and 835kWh) — alongside a proprietary software stack comprising the VPP Aggregation Platform, Industrial and Commercial Microgrid Twin Platform, Microgrid System Solutions, Operation Management System, and an AI-driven Smart Safety Warning Box built on NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture. Its core technology is the proprietary 3S control technology integrating BMS, EMS, and PCS, with six-layer safety protection and AI-driven fault prediction.

The company serves utility-scale, grid-side, power-side, and commercial and industrial customers globally, with named enterprise deployments spanning chemicals (BASF), electronics manufacturing (Foxconn Industrial Internet, Shenzhen Industrial Foxconn), automotive glass (Fuyao Group), battery manufacturing (DESAY), metallurgy (Huale Alloy), and industrial parks (Wolong). Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware system sales (project-based quotes, multi-year contracts), energy operation services (digital intelligence operations, virtual power plant operations, green certificate trading, electric carbon trading, asset financial services), and recurring software subscriptions for energy management platforms. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with technical pre-sales engineering, supplemented by local partners in Europe (Czech Republic, Spain, Croatia, Slovakia) and event-driven demand generation at major industry exhibitions.

Sermatec operates five Chinese production bases (Shanghai, Henan, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang) plus a 3 GWh European manufacturing base in Malaga, Spain, with combined capacity exceeding 18 GWh. It has cumulatively delivered 13 GWh across 30+ countries and ranks in the top three for China C&I ESS shipments (CNESA 2023) and top ten globally (S&P Global 2023). Sermatec has held BNEF Tier 1 Global Energy Storage Manufacturer status for seven to nine consecutive quarters and maintains ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001/27001, UL 9540/9540A/1973, and IEC 62619/63056/62477 certifications, supporting its expansion across China, Europe, and North America.
