Energy storage solutions for businesses

Energy storage or battery storage solutions are battery units that are installed on-site to offer businesses a means to store and discharge electricity at specific times, operate independently from the grid and offer backup power when needed.

Solarsense offer a full turnkey solution for battery storage solutions, including analysing your business and its suitability, specifying the best technologies, designing your system and installation.

 

 

Integrating your solar panel system with a battery storage solution

In most cases, battery storage solutions are integrated with commercial solar panels as a means to capitalise on the energy savings they produce, as well as leverage a number of additional financial and environmental benefits.

Battery units can also be installed as a stand-alone product, independent of a renewable energy source and used to store cheaper energy from the grid during lower cost periods and discharge during peak times to avoid demand charges and peak-time energy costs.

Tesla Powerwall

With up to 13.5kWh of storage and the capability to deliver 5kW of continuous power the Tesla Powerwall offers exceptional value for money. Powerwall stores your excess solar energy to make it available on demand, maximising your use of solar and reducing your reliance on the grid.

Powerwall is ideally suited for small to medium sized businesses (SMEs). It is really useful for businesses that tend to operate in the evening, such as restaurants, art galleries, offices, churches and more. Powerwall is a completely automated system that requires no maintenance and will automatically update over time via over-the-air software updates.

BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

How can energy storage benefit my business?

  • Improved sustainability

    Store and utilise all of your clean solar energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and ‘brown’ energy bought from the grid.

  • Emergency backup power

    Draw energy from your battery and remain operational in the event of a brownout or period of energy rationing.

  • Peak shaving

    Discharge your free solar energy at times of peak demand to avoid demand charges and peak-time energy costs.

  • Load shifting

    Shift energy consumption from one point in time to another to avoid peak energy prices and reduce costs.

  • Scalable design

    Scalable to the space and energy requirements of any site; from small businesses to large-scale solar parks.

  • Energy independence

    Integrate with solar PV, build a localised grid and operate independently from the National Grid

Everything you need to make an informed decision

Should I wait for technology to improve?
People often ask whether there is a new breakthrough on the horizon that they should hold-out for. In reality, over the 24 years that we have been in business we have found that breakthroughs in the lab rarely translate to practical solutions for people's homes or businesses. We only source tried and tested, ‘tier one’ products from the world’s leading manufacturers and will use the most up to date kit available at the point of installation. We will always notify you if there are any changes to the products listed in your design specification.
How big are battery storage solutions? What are the dimensions?
Battery units are typically modular and stackable but vary in size depending on the manufacturer. For a smaller to medium sized business a single battery can be mounted on the ground or to a wall using a bracket. For larger-scale solutions containing a number of units, you may need to consider a plant room or similar. A 2MW battery is likely to occupy the footprint of a shipping container or similar.
How long will a battery last?
Like the life of your mobile phone, the lifespan of your battery will depend on how often it is charged and discharged. Each manufacturer offers a minimum number of charging cycles and a warranty period as standard.
What batteries do Solarsense install?
Our challenge is to identify the best products for your specific site and the way you use your energy. If you have a preferred product or specific manufacturer that you would like to use, we can build this into your quotation and offer advice to similar panels or a like for like system.
Will the installation of a battery affect my Feed-in Tariff payments?
No, in most cases solar PV batteries are AC coupled meaning that the energy is stored after your inverter has converted the energy from DC and your meter has measured it.
