OEM Partner

Proven technology.
One point of contact.

A single OEM partnership built around the LFP cell platform powering some of the largest BESS sites in service today. Choose a pure DC storage container (M5) or step up to the higher-capacity M6 — same 20-foot footprint, same cell technology underneath.

CORNEX New Energy
Pure Energy Storage · DC Container · Top-5 Global OEM

CORNEX New Energy supplies pure DC battery energy storage containers — the cell and pack platform at the heart of the system. The M5 (5 MWh · 314Ah or 588Ah cells) and M6 (6.25 MWh · 588Ah cells) leave the choice of PCS to your EPC. Top 5 globally, 90+ GWh delivered in 2025.

  • DC container — full flexibility for PCS selection & integration
  • M5: 5 MWh · M6: 6.25 MWh — same 20 ft footprint
  • Up to 96.5% efficiency · 12,000+ cycles · 190 Wh/kg

Technical detail

The cell platform behind the container

CORNEX's 588 Ah LFP cell is set up for grid-scale density: 190 Wh/kg, 419 Wh/L, and a 12,000-cycle warranted life. The pack platform inherits the same chemistry, so a 5 MWh M5 and a 6.25 MWh M6 sit on the same proven cell stack — different module count, same risk profile.

FAQ

Common questions

What is CORNEX New Energy?

CORNEX New Energy (楚能新能源) is a Wuhan-based Chinese battery storage manufacturer, founded in 2021 by Dai Deming. CORNEX is among the top global BESS suppliers, with over 90 GWh delivered in 2025.

Where can I buy CORNEX battery storage in Brazil?

Dryad Energy is the direct Brazilian point of contact for CORNEX New Energy systems. We work with project developers, EPCs, utilities and investors across the country.

Who is Dai Deming?

Dai Deming is the founder and chairman of CORNEX New Energy (楚能新能源), one of the world's leading LFP battery storage manufacturers, headquartered in Wuhan, China.

What does Dryad Energy take a markup on?

Our model is transparent: a fixed channel fee paid by the manufacturer covers our project work. The price you see is the factory price.

What lead times should we plan for?

Container BESS units typically land 16–22 weeks from PO to FOB China. Framework clients with reserved allocation can move faster.

Do you handle Brazilian import logistics and customs?

Yes — DDP delivery to site, including dangerous-goods transport, customs clearance through Santos and Itajaí, and bonded storage where needed.
