Commercial battery storage installations
Commercial battery storage for solar & wind is the perfect fit for businesses looking to prioritise grid independence and energy security. If you are looking to generate or already generate your own energy via an on-site renewable energy system, then battery storage can be integrated into the system to store excess generation for later use. Speak to one of our experts today to see how commercial battery storage can help your business.
Why chose battery storage for solar?
Many businesses cannot have full control over when they use electricity and solar energy is only generated when the sun shines. This means that there might be a mismatch between when energy is being generated and when it is needed. Without battery storage, this excess energy would be exported to the grid.
Commercial battery storage for solar allows this excess energy to be stored in a battery, with the energy being discharged from the battery when the electricity demand exceeds the generation, i.e offsetting grid electricity import. This increases the on-site usage of the solar generation, improves energy security, and reduces the reliance on the grid.
Our installation process
Our installation process is designed to ensure a smooth transition from initial engagement through to implementation and handover. For integrated solar and battery storage projects, we would complete each stage of the process simultaneously.
01
Free desktop assessment
Our in-house engineering team will prepare a cost and recommendation for your commercial battery storage system to be integrated into your solar or wind asset.
02
Site survey
We will conduct a site survey to determine the location of equipment, cables runs, and installation requirements.
03
Formal proposal
Our team will update the proposal with any findings from the site survey and additional client preferences, before issuing the proposal and contract.
04
Installation
Our team will manage the turnkey installation of the battery storage system and wider integrated system design under CDM 2015 through to commissioning and handover.
The benefits of commercial battery storage
Not sure if a battery storage installation is right for your business? Check out some of the benefits of commercial battery storage below or get in touch with our team to discuss your options.
Charging from excess generation
The largest benefit of battery storage comes from charging from excess generation – it is the cheapest way to charge a battery.
Load shifting & peak saving
Discharge the commercial battery storage at crucial times to avoid peak tariffs or exceeding the site’s ASC.
Backup power
Keep your site operational during power cuts by connecting critical circuits to the backup terminals of a battery.
Why is commercial battery storage important?
Many businesses across the UK are turning to commercial battery storage for solar and wind to increase their energy security, amongst an ever fluctuating and volatile energy market. By generating energy via commercial solar panels or a wind turbine and storing excess generation in a battery storage system, businesses can significantly reduce their grid electricity import, essentially ‘locking in’ a percentage of their electricity demand at a fixed cost.
Not all businesses will be in a position to have significant excess generation, and therefore a procurement strategy suitable for a commercial battery storage solution is important. For help with your energy procurement strategy, speak to our sister company, Consultus International, or contact us about a holistic solution covering renewable generation, storage, and energy procurement.

Got a question about commercial battery storage for solar & wind?
Check out our FAQs below, or reach out to one of our friendly team for more information.
How much battery storage do I need for solar?
The amount of battery storage required is dependent on the size of the solar PV array, the site’s electricity consumption, and volume of excess generation. It is not a ‘one-size fits all’ technology. Speak to our friendly team to find out what battery storage size would be best for your business.
Do I need battery storage for wind turbines?
Whilst wind offers a more consistent generation profile compared to solar, there are still times of high and low generation. Including battery storage will help to smooth out the profile of the generation used on-site, helping to minimise excess generation and maximising grid independence.
What is the best battery storage for solar?
For the vast majority of projects, lithium ion or lithium ion phosphate will be the recommended battery technology due to its energy density, longevity, and commercial availability. If installing a new solar and battery storage system then a DC coupled battery system can provide cost and efficiency savings. However, for larger projects we would likely recommend opting for an AC coupled battery system due to the improved flexibility and commercially available options.
