Solar Battery Storage for Business

Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, are rechargeable batteries that can store energy from different sources and discharge it when needed. A storage system consists of one or more batteries and can be used to avoid peak rate energy prices, provide backup power and improve grid stability. Energy storage is critical to decarbonising the power system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it’s also essential to have access to resilient, reliable, and affordable electricity.

It is possible to install battery storage as a standalone product to store energy from the grid when tariffs are lower. Battery storage systems become a truly efficient part of your renewable energy future when integrated with commercial solar PV. Although other renewable solutions are on the market, solar PV is more affordable and easiest to deploy.

Creating commercial energy-efficient battery storage systems is straight forward and accessible to all companies, even those who do not have suitable roofs for Solar PV or want to invest in Solar PV – battery solutions are accessible to all.

• Sustainable Energy – store your green solar energy to reduce the reliance on the grid, offsite fuels, and volatile energy prices
• Battery Power – Use battery power and remain operational in the event of a power cut
• Peak Shaving – Discharge stored energy in the batteries during peak demand prices to avoid paying very high peak rate prices
• Scalable – Build and expand your energy network independently, to suit your business needs.
• A battery storage system can also be charged with cheap, off-peak electricity from the grid, when you have an appropriate tariff with your energy supplier, for example Octopus Go. Once fully charged up at a low rate, you can discharge that cheap, stored electricity to your home during the day, rather than pay high peak prices.
• A battery storage system can ensure you never pay peak rate energy again.
