Product Overview
Overview
Viridi Parente creates battery energy storage systems for managing the energy demands of industry, EV charging, and construction. Viridi's battery pack architecture reduces thermal runaway and aims to prevent battery fire, allowing for deployment where most lithium-ion BESS are not permissible - in and around occupied spaces and critical equipment. Viridi is headquartered in Buffalo, New York, and has offices in Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico.
Viridi provides both software and hardware solutions focused on energy storage and management, including:
- RPS 150: commercial-scale 150kWh lithium-ion mobile BESS. RPS150 can be used for off-grid power supply, grid reinforcement, emergency power utilization, and self-consumption of renewable energy sources.
- RPS 50: 50kWh industrial scale lithium-ion battery pack. RPS50 can be custom scaled to any facility's needs with the addition of external inverter and power management system.
- RPS1200: large-scale BESS with 1.2MWh capacity, comprised of strings of RPS50 battery packs. RPS1200 is suitable for midsized to large scale commercial and industrial facilities looking to optimize their power usage, maximize onsite renewable generation, and optionally island from the grid.
- ViSTA Data Engine: an AI-powered industrial device management and telematics data engine for energy management, monitoring, and diagnostics - powered by Viridi VCom1500 edge computing router (found onboard all Viridi BESS).
- faveo ITS Cabinet: intelligent traffic management system providing instantaneous power backup and telematics data reporting at an intersection, ensuring smooth traffic flow and improving road safety.
- gme310 and gme320: electric compact mini excavators for construction projects in tight spaces with low repositioning.
The Viridi team can also work on developing custom end-to-end solutions and integrations.

Technology Innovations
Viridi's primary value proposition lies in its focus on safety. In the case of an event in which electrical and mechanical systems around a battery pack were to fail, the passive thermal management prevents cell to cell propagation, halting thermal runaway with no smoke, flame, or gas release. This unique fail-safe approach allows for deployment where most lithium-ion BESS are not permissible - in and around occupied spaces and critical equipment.
Applications
Viridi Parente's products are primarily targeted towards commercial and industrial customers, utility companies, renewable energy projects, and the construction and transport sectors. Their technology can help support:
- Grid stability and reliability through BESS, enabling better management of energy peak demands and renewable energy integration.
- Smart grid development for efficient power distribution and storage.
- Electrification of transportation, supporting EV charging infrastructure, and preventing grid overload during high-demand periods.
