Size it to your target.

Pick a battery and inverter, and FluxPilot sizes the project to your target MWh. You get container counts, inverter pairings, and the augmentation schedule.

Lay it out on your site.

Import your site, and FluxPilot places each inverter with its battery containers, then generates access roads around the rows, feeder by feeder. Block size, spacing, and grouping are all yours to shape to the design you want.

Model it. Iterate.

Watch augmentation hold the usable energy flat across a 20-year horizon: as the batteries decay, FluxPilot adds containers to keep delivering the target. Layer in weather-driven aux from two decades of climate data, then change the battery, the target, or the layout and re-run in seconds.

The full workflow

Everything from first sizing to a full site draft.

One tool covers the chain that today lives across a dozen spreadsheets, a CAD seat, and a weather download. It keeps the numbers in one place while you iterate.

01 · ENGINE

Sizing engine

Sizes AC and DC coupled batteries of any type, with separate or bundled aux accounting. You get container counts, inverter pairings, and augmentation schedules.

02 · LAYOUT

Layout engine

Multi-area site layouts with road generation, equipment placement, per-cluster spacing, and an aerial underlay. Shape the draft, then export it to share.

03 · CLIMATE

Weather and aux

One click pulls 20 yr of climate data and derives TMY P50 and ERYh P90 profiles for your site.

04 · LIBRARY

OEM library and .bfp

Battery, inverter, loss-profile and layout templates. Import as .bfx, then bundle a whole project into one portable .bfp file.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is FluxPilot?

FluxPilot is a desktop application that sizes utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) to a target MWh and lays them out on your real site. It produces container counts, inverter pairings, augmentation schedules, access roads, and feeders in minutes instead of weeks.

Who is FluxPilot for?

It is built for utility-scale storage and solar-plus-storage developers, IPPs, and EPC and engineering firms who size and lay out battery projects.

Does FluxPilot support AC-coupled and DC-coupled batteries?

Yes. FluxPilot sizes both AC- and DC-coupled batteries of any chemistry, with separate or bundled auxiliary power accounting.

What is a battery augmentation schedule, and how does FluxPilot model it?

Batteries lose capacity as they age, so augmentation adds capacity over time to keep delivering the target energy. FluxPilot models a 20-year augmentation schedule that holds usable energy flat as the batteries decay.

Can I lay out containers, inverters, and roads on my own site?

Yes. FluxPilot places every container and inverter across multiple areas of your site, generates access roads, and lets you shape block size, spacing, and grouping to the design you want.

What platforms does FluxPilot run on, and what files does it use?

FluxPilot is desktop software for Windows and macOS. It imports equipment libraries as .bfx files and bundles a whole project into one portable .bfp file.

How is FluxPilot different from spreadsheets and CAD?

Sizing, site layout, and iteration live in one tool, so a full design iteration takes minutes instead of moving numbers between spreadsheets and a CAD seat for days.
