How can commercial solar battery storage reduce energy costs?

Your business can reduce energy costs by charging the commercial 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.)

Are solar batteries a good option for commercial battery storage?

Solar batteries, a key component in industrial battery storage, are large energy storage units typically found outside a building that charge up during sunny periods if linked up to a solar PV system, or during the night from the grid if there are low energy demands. This makes them an excellent option for commercial battery storage in the UK.

What is a commercial solar battery storage system?

Commercial solar battery storage systems have the capability to provide backup power to your business, much like diesel standby generators. These commercial battery storage systems store power to release during periods of power outage and capture any excess energy generation.

How much do commercial solar panels cost?

A way to estimate the installation costs of commercial solar panels is to calculate 0.2p per Watt fitted. That would mean it can cost approximately £2,000 (excl. VAT) to install a 10kW system. For large commercial systems, it may take multiple workers to install them, and the more people required, the higher the costs.

Is a solar battery worth it for your business?

Combining a battery with commercial solar panels for your business can help revolutionise your organisation’s energy management and carbon savings. In some cases, provide Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). Check out our in-depth solar battery guide to see if it’s worth it for your business.

How can a commercial solar battery help your business?

The solar batteries themselves are made up of rechargeable lithium-ion, stored in smaller battery packs within the units. Combining a battery with commercial solar panels for your business can help revolutionise your organisation’s energy management and carbon savings. In some cases, provide Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
