Ningde, 24 August 2026 – Global clean energy and battery manufacturing giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) has officially debuted a proprietary direct-to-buyer e-commerce procurement platform for residential and small commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS), executing a major distribution innovation designed to bypass traditional multi-tier distributor networks, streamline supply chain logistics, and democratize access to advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions across domestic and regional markets.

The commercial launch follows a highly successful beta testing phase during which the digital platform onboarded over 1,800 specialized energy storage contractors, commercial installers, and enterprise buyers. Under the new digital fulfillment architecture, small-scale commercial buyers and distributed solar installers can purchase modular battery storage cabinets directly from CATL, benefiting from rapid 3 to 5-day delivery turnarounds and comprehensive five-year manufacturer warranties identical to those provided to multi-gigawatt utility clients. By removing intermediary distributor markups, the platform significantly reduces the total cost of ownership for commercial and industrial energy storage deployments.
