Commercial battery storage: keep the power you make
A battery stores electricity, from your solar panels or from the grid at cheaper times, so you can use it when you need it.
How it works
Store it now, use it later
With solar
Solar often makes more than you need at midday. The battery stores the surplus instead of exporting it cheaply, then releases it in the evening or at peak-price times.
Without solar
The battery can charge on cheaper off-peak rates and discharge at expensive peak times.
The benefits
Why add a battery
Use more of your own solar
Keep the power your panels make instead of exporting it cheaply.
Avoid peak-time prices
Use stored power when prices are highest, and avoid some network charges.
Backup power
Keep key equipment running during a power cut, where the system is designed for it.
Ease pressure on your grid connection
Useful where capacity is limited, or when adding EV chargers or electric heating.
Potential income
Suitable systems can earn from grid balancing services.
Who it suits
Is a battery right for you?
Businesses with solar

High evening or peak usage
Shift your use away from the most expensive times.
Limited grid capacity
Do more on site without waiting for a bigger connection.
Critical equipment
Protect the kit that can't afford to stop.
