Battery Storage

Renewable energy is typically generated from the sun, wind power and tidal power. Wind power and solar energy are most commonly used, but are not always available 100% of the time. Within an on-site energy network, it’s important to store energy generated in order to match the demand profile required. Battery Energy Storage Systems achieve this.

Battery storage benefits

1. Battery Storage uses renewable energy more efficiently

• Battery storage ensures energy stored is used when needed. On days when solar or wind produces less power than required, battery storage facilities will provide required energy needs, instead of the higher cost grid network.

2. Low-cost energy protection

• Energy storage technology enables production of renewable energy generated to be uncoupled from low energy demand periods, smoothing the energy supply profile and maximising on-site energy network efficiency.

3. Less dependence on the grid network

• When combined with Solar PV, battery storage allows your business to be less dependent on the increasingly expensive grid supply network. In rural areas, where the grid network is particularly vulnerable to weather events, battery storage provides the reassurance you need to ensure energy availability for your business during grid failure events.

4. Carbon footprint reduction

• Solar PV together with battery storage installation reduces your businesses carbon footprint. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and associated carbon pollution, renewable energy infrastructure creates far less pollution than traditional fossil fuel generation. Using battery storage systems, you can be confident the energy produced on-site is not wasted.

5. Minimise electric bills

• Energy flexibility means lower energy costs. Your business is able to draw electricity from the grid network when cheaper and use on-site storage during peak periods (high-cost periods), creating an efficient and sustainable balance between on-site renewables and grid network supply.
