## Products & Services
- **Peak Passive Grid‑Scale Storage System**: A sodium‑ion battery energy storage system (BESS) designed for 20+ year life with zero scheduled maintenance, no augmentation, and passive thermal management. Drop‑in compatible with existing BESS installations, requiring no new installation crews or EMS integration playbooks. Achieves higher round‑trip efficiency (more power to GPUs) and lower total cost of ownership (claimed $75/kWh savings through minimal opex). Fully 48E ITC compliant. Deployed in partnership with nine of the largest U.S. IPPs and utilities.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$65M** ($10M seed in October 2023, $55M Series A in June 2024)
