Commercial solar battery storage can be anideal solution for companies looking to take control of their energy costs and transfer more of their operations to renewable power. It works by storing any electricity generated by a solar installation during daylight hours that’s not used straight away and holding it in reserve for when it’s needed.

Solar panels and battery storage systemsallow businesses to minimise their reliance on utility providers for their
energy and shelter themselves from price rises; effectively fixing the cost of their energy for 10s of years.

Due to today’s high energy prices, manybusinesses with existing solar panel installations could now benefit from
adding commercial solar battery storage to their system.

Commercial Solar Battery Storage Use

We’re used to using small batteries asstores of energy to power various devices. Commercial solar battery storagesystems are very much the same, large rechargeable energy stores that you can charge up and then discharge at a later date to power your operations.

Batteries can be installed as standaloneunits, and charged from the grid at times when tariffs are at their lowest; or installed as part of a solar installation to use any excess energy that is being generated but not used during daylight hours.

Some systems use a hybrid inverter that isused for the battery and the solar PV installation, whereas some batteries have their own inbuilt inverter. Depending on the individual needs of your business and your energy consumption a battery storage system could be an effective tool to manage your energy and reduce your utility bills.
