Maximise your energy use with a battery energy storage solutions (BESS) also known as solar batteries.
Use all your clean solar energy and reduce your use of and reliance on more polluting grid energy for a better overall ROI.
Use the BESS with low cost solar energy to stop demand charges and peak electricity prices from grid suppliers.
By securing your own energy supply and storing energy for when it is required gives the business certainty of supply protecting itself against potential rationing and power interruptions.
Charge the batteries during peak generation, use the energy later when the solar panels are producing less to continue using your free energy.
A BESS combined with solar panels form an independent local grid that the business controls to suit it's needs, not the energy companies.
A BESS can be scaled to meet business demand or solar power generation as the organisation develops and energy use changes. Even use it to sell your free energy back to the grid at peak prices.
While solar energy is becoming the fastest growing energy source worldwide, battery energy storage systems are only now picking up speed with energy users in business and at home. A BESS enhances your solar energy system enabling flexibility of energy use, protection against price fluctuations over a day and longer term, plus helps the solar energy system give a more stable ROI.
The main advantage to any business of a BESS is energy options all of which lower the cost of energy to the business. One of brilliant advantages of batteries is there is no exclusive use, a battery used for time shifting energy use can also protect against power interruptions, peak shave and sell your cheap energy back to the grid for peak prices if the need or requirement arises.
A BESS can also be independent of solar panels if they are not an option, storing grid energy when the prices are low and using it in the business when prices are higher and avoid demand costs. Some arbitrage price differences selling the energy back to the grid when prices are higher, just as the very large grid storage batteries do.
While businesses and other organisations maximally benefit from being active in the day when solar energy is generated, on many days at peak production time the panels generate excess energy that the business cannot use effectively. Alternatively the solar panel system that fits on the roof may exceed the energy use in the business completely. In both scenarios without a battery the energy is sold to the grid for a much lower price than it costs to import it from the grid.
This is where batteries are an ideal solution, with the ability to store that excess energy that was being sold for very little and time shift it, peak shave etc. And to help reduce the time to repay the investment, in months of low generation, batteries can be used to store low cost electricity as described above in a battery only system.
Like solar panels batteries are modular products and can be scaled up relatively easily if energy requirements change. Apart from matching the requirements of the organisation, both in terms of energy capacity and the rate that the battery can supply, the other main consideration is space to house the batteries.
Being modular and scalable batteries can be distributed in different places depending on the system design, or if space inside is an issue, there are external battery units that can be mounted outside. Some businesses with the space outside opt for containerised battery units that usually store between 1 and 2 MWh of energy depending on the battery configuration.
As can be seen BESS are a flexible way to use energy that you have ideally generated or imported to reduce energy costs and earn a quicker return on your energy investment. For these reasons batteries are growing quickly in popularity especially where solar panels are installed to maximise their energy use.
