Thor builds and commissions containerised lithium energy storage for farms, mines and industrial sites — sized from a single 10ft unit to multi-megawatt installations.
Both are lithium iron phosphate systems, engineered and commissioned by Thor. Choose by how much energy you need and whether it stays put.
Energy storage you can move.
A complete battery system in a 10ft ISO container — cells, inverter, cooling and fire suppression, pre-wired and factory-tested. Craned or forklifted onto site and running the same week.
Megawatt-hours, engineered for your site.
Fixed-installation storage in 20ft or 40ft containers, sized to your load profile. Paired with your solar plant or the grid to shift peaks, ride through outages or run off-grid entirely.
Indicative figures for standard configurations. Every Thor CES is sized to the site — final specifications are confirmed after assessment.

| Grid interface | 400 V three-phase, grid-tied or islanded | 400 V, or 11/22 kV via integrated step-up |
| Deployment | Relocatable — crane or forklift | Fixed installation, expandable in parallel |
| Commissioning | Factory pre-commissioned; on-site in 1–2 days | Site-engineered; 2–6 weeks on site |
| Warranty | 10 years / 6,000 cycles | 10 years / 6,000 cycles |
Specifications subject to change. Full datasheets supplied on request.
One system, configured for the job that matters most to you. Most sites run two or three of these at once.
Ride through load-shedding and grid faults without a diesel bill. Seamless transfer in under 20 ms keeps cold rooms, pumps and process lines running.
Store daytime solar and run overnight. Thor pairs directly with new or existing PV plants — no separate inverter room.
Charge when tariffs are low, discharge at peak. Cut maximum-demand charges and notified maximum demand on your Eskom or municipal account.
Frequency response and export limiting for sites with wheeling or generation licences. Dispatchable from your control room.
A capital purchase this size shouldn't be a leap. Every step has a named engineer, a fixed scope and a date.
Tell us about your site and what you need it to do. We come back within one business day with a first-pass sizing.
An engineer visits, reviews your loads, tariff and grid connection, and confirms the configuration and civils.
Your unit is built and factory-tested. You get a fixed quote, a delivery date and a single point of contact.
We crane it in, connect, commission and hand over with training. Monitoring is live from day one.
for your storage?Thor was founded in 2025 by engineers who spent a decade installing other people's storage systems in South African conditions — and kept seeing the same failures: undersized cooling, mismatched inverters, and nobody to call when it tripped.
We build two products, we build them here, and we put our name on the side.
