Why 261kWh Energy Storage Cabinets Are Becoming the New Favorite in C&I?

C&I energy storage has been booming these past two years. You’ve probably heard people saying things like: “215kWh is outdated” or “261kWh is the new standard.”

What’s behind it? Simply put: higher energy density.

That’s why Highjoule launched its 261kWh outdoor cabinet system — models HJ-G65-261L and HJ-G130-261L.

Let’s break down why this product stands out.

01 Bigger Capacity, Same Footprint

The old 215kWh cabinets are everywhere. But now, 261kWh means more energy storage without extra space.Same footprint, more power. Perfect for peak shaving and lowering bills.

02 Upgraded Cells, Safe and Long-Lasting

Inside are 3.2V / 314Ah high-capacity cells. You can choose between LFP or semi-solid (SSB).

LFP = proven safety and stability

SSB = next-gen performance

Plus, with liquid cooling, temperature stays under control. That means longer battery life and higher safety.

03 Flexible Configurations for Different Projects

Whether you run a small business or a large factory, there’s a fit:

65kW/261kWh

130kW/261kWh

Thanks to 1P260S configuration, it’s easy to adapt to different energy and power needs.

04 High Efficiency, Lower Cost

In storage, numbers matter.

This cabinet runs at up to 0.99 efficiency. Less loss, more usable energy.

Lower cost per kWh, faster ROI for customers.

05 All-Round Protection

Safety comes first. The system is packed with protection features:

Anti-islanding

High/low voltage ride-through

Over-current, short-circuit, over/under voltage

Wrong phase sequence detection

So you get performance and peace of mind.

Final Take

The rise of 261kWh cabinets shows where C&I storage is heading: higher density, lower cost, longer life.

Highjoule’s 261kWh outdoor cabinet system is built to help customers move faster and safer in the energy transition.

From industrial parks to solar+storage+EV charging, from frequency regulation to peak shaving — this cabinet is ready to deliver value.
