energy storage / solar batteries

Solar battery storage allows for the saving of excess energy generated from solar installations. Instead of losing electricity produced by your solar system, the excess electricity will be stored in a battery and used at a later time and provide you with many benefits. 

• Solar battery Storage can provide low cost energy instead of buying from the grid when the sun is not always shining. Weather is unpredictable and can bring circumstances that are not ideal for PV systems.

• Utility Companies charge additional fees when customers use electricity during peak demand hours. Battery storage allows you to use stored energy during these times. This means you will save money on your utility bill from not paying peak demand premiums. 

•  Adding energy storage to a commercial building can generate new income to the property owner via a profit sharing agreement between the battery owner and the landlord.

• Natural disasters do not plan around your business’s operating hours. The electricity grid experiences many issues and even blackouts during fires and earthquakes. Solar battery storage helps you prepare for the inevitable and stay ahead of the curve. Depending on the battery size, you will be provided power to keep your business operating in a grid outage.  

• While the payback periods for energy storage can be longer than solar, battery storage provides many cost-saving benefits. There are incentives that help lower the cost. If your business is thinking about solar or has already gone solar, it’s time to look into a reliable energy storage option. 

Lithium-Ion is the most common form of battery on the market currently. However, other chemical mixtures are being tested but are not as viable yet.  Solar electricity charges the battery and software / artificial intelligence and algorithms coordinate when to discharge the battery for optimal savings. Energy is discharged from the battery during peak demand hours and during outages.
