Battery storage solutions
You can reduce your business’ reliance on the grid even further by installing battery storage to store excess solar power. Electricity can be accessed immediately when required
We have a number of solutions depending on the size of your business and times when you are likely to use most electricity. For example, if your business is part of the night time economy such as a restaurant, hotel, theatre etc. then you can access energy at night from solar power generated in the day.
Back-up power system
Similar to diesel power generators used to kick in when power supplies are cut, battery storage can be used to provide emergency power should supply be cut.
This storage can be built up from solar power or from the grid, so you don’t need to have converted to reusable energy to make use of battery storage.
Sell back to the grid
If your business is producing more energy than it uses, this stored energy can be sold back to the national grid. Therefore at times when the grid is under stress you can sell energy and earn income.
Often this is managed by a broker who will source suppliers such as your business and agree a fee with the National Grid. The National Grid will then purchase the energy from the broker and you will be paid according to the fee you agreed with them.
Load shifting
Using solar panel battery storage for load shifting means managing the electrical load profile of your business to even out its distribution. Your organisation benefits from cheap energy at certain times whilst capturing excess exported power generated from renewable technology.
Your business can reduce energy costs by charging the solar battery storage when energy is cheap: either at night via the grid when tariffs are low and/or during the day with excess solar or wind generation. The power can then be ‘shifted’ to periods when energy is expensive (during the day and peak periods.)
Operating the solar PV battery storage in this way will typically flatten out your company’s demand for energy from the grid, giving you savings and helping to offset more of your carbon emissions. Load shifting can also help avoid the expense of upgrading your electrical connection by reducing the demand during peak periods and managing the load to fall within your agreed kVA capacity.
We are able to provide bespoke solar battery storage solutions to meet your business needs whilst offering maximum financial and environmental gains.
