Commercial Battery Storage

Commercial battery storage can aid the saving potential of solar systems for businesses with specific usage habits. If your energy usage is high at night, battery storage could significantly boost your savings.

CEO - Moss Electrical

4th March 2024
There was such little disruption that we were quite frankly surprised when the team turned around and said that they were all done.

We couldn’t be happier with the process and are now saving £300,000 per year on our electricity costs.
We’d highly recommend considering commercial solar.

How batteries aid your commercial solar system

Saving big on high energy costs

Energy costs are set to rise by XX% per year until 2030. Hedging against this near certainty will lead to large cost deductions.

Reducing grid reliance and cost volatility

2021 and 2022 exposed many businesses to their reliance on the grid and vulnerability to price changes. Solar reduces your exposure.

Reducing carbon footprint by thousands of kilograms

With Net Zero targets putting many businesses under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, battery storage serves as a brilliant vehicle to do so.

Immediate savings potential with PPA

With Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), businesses can reduce costs in their first year with £0 upfront payment.

Learn how we can help your business

Should batteries always be installed with commercial solar systems?

The need for batteries depends on your business’s nature and energy usage.

Providers claiming all systems should be installed with dedicated battery storage are unfortunately misguided.

We conduct many consultations where the addition of battery storage would significantly increase the payback period and reduce overall savings from the system as a whole.

Learn about system monitoring

Sometimes, our clients do not have visibility over the full picture at the point of consultation.

In these cases, we often install the solar system without any accompanying battery storage solutions but with monitoring and technologies in place that will allow us to make a better judgement in 6-12 months time.

Should the data show that a battery storage solution would provide a significant return on investment (financial, ecologically etc.), then we will retrofit a storage system at no additional cost compared to installing it initially.

This approach ensures our clients have full visibility of the impact of their long-term decisions and allows us to be confident in our projections.

Would battery storage benefit my business?

While no two systems are the same, there are some typical characteristics of businesses that we would expect to significantly benefit from the addition of a battery storage system alongside a commercial solar system.

That said, we always recommend seeking expert counsel so that the data is there to void any assumptions made.

High night time usage
The daylight solar energy generation curve aligns with the usage patterns of most businesses where usage is higher during the day.

However, for businesses where usage is higher or remains high during the night, a battery storage solution can be very advantageous to store that daylight energy for later use.
Ask us how we can help
Varying energy demands
Your business experiences varying energy demands due to changing production schedules, operational activities, or seasonal factors.

With a battery storage system, you can capture excess solar energy during periods of low demand and utilise it during peak times, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply without relying solely on the grid.
Ask us how we can help
Time of use pricing
Your business operates in an area where electricity costs vary based on the time of day or peak demand periods.

By integrating a battery storage system with your existing solar setup, you can store energy when electricity prices are low and use it during high-demand periods, effectively reducing energy expenses and minimising peak demand charges.
Ask us how we can help
Grid instability or outages
While less common in the UK, if your business is situated in an area prone to grid instability or frequent power outages.

A battery storage system provides a reliable backup power source, ensuring uninterrupted operations during grid outages and potentially saving your business from costly downtime or production losses.
Ask us how we can help
Desire for energy independence
Your business aims to reduce its reliance on the grid and achieve greater energy independence.

By coupling a battery storage system with your commercial solar installation, you can generate, store, and utilise your own clean energy on-site, reducing dependence on external energy sources and enhancing sustainability efforts.
Ask us how we can help
Ambitious sustainability goals
Your business is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and embracing environmentally sustainable practices.

Integrating battery storage with your solar system allows you to maximise the utilisation of renewable energy resources, further decreasing reliance on fossil fuels and contributing to your sustainability objectives.
Ask us how we can help
Peak shaving strategies
Your business seeks to minimise demand charges imposed by utility providers through peak shaving strategies.

With a battery storage system, you can strategically manage energy consumption peaks, smoothing out demand spikes and reducing overall electricity costs by avoiding high-demand periods.
Ask us how we can help
Remove / off-grid operations
While uncommon, if your business operates in remote or off-grid locations with limited access to reliable electricity, a battery storage system combined with solar energy provides a sustainable and autonomous power solution.

Ensuring continuous operations even in areas without grid connectivity.

ThermoFisher cut energy costs by 15% without any upfront or ongoing costs

Read the full case study
View all case studies

Custodian Capital are one of our repeat clients and partners. By installing an 830 kW solar system on one of their properties, they were able to pass on a 15% reduction in energy costs to ThermoFisher.

This is under a common arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) whereby an asset manager will fund and maintain an installation under an agreement to sell the energy at a reduced rate to the property user.

£4.7m lifetime ROI
Over the system's 25 year lifetime, it will yield over £4.7m in savings for Custodian Capital.
Net zero
The installation is a significant step for Custodian Capital & ThermoFisher on their way to meet Net Zero targets.
