In industrial environments, power supply is essential. Outages or grid restrictions mean downtime - and that costs money. With large-scale battery storage of 2 to 5 MWh, you create stability, flexibility and maximum utilisation of your own generated power.
These systems are designed for sites with heavy plant, high power, multiple connections or decentralised generation. Think of production complexes, manufacturing industries, large cooling plants or energy-intensive processes.
An industrial business battery is not just a supplement, but a strategic part of your energy infrastructure.
Industrial battery storage: the solution for energy-intensive sites
Industrial sites face challenges that are fundamentally different from those of an office or shop. They involve megawatt capacities, continuously running processes and the requirement that power is always available. At many industrial sites in the Netherlands, the power grid has been at its limit for years. Expansion takes time, sometimes five to 10 years, and in the meantime companies have to make do with what is there. An industrial battery system of 2 to 5 MWh bridges that gap and gives you the flexibility that the grid currently cannot offer.
Besides solving grid problems, industrial battery storage offers another important benefit: emergency power capacity. In the event of a power failure, your production continues as usual, without interruptions that can cost you thousands of euros per hour. Combine that with smart control that automatically switches between grid, solar and battery power, and you have a system that continuously contributes to lower energy bills and higher business continuity.
Which industrial sectors benefit the most?
Battery systems from 2 to 5 MWh are suitable for the heaviest energy consumers in the Netherlands. Think chemical industry, metal processing, paper and cardboard production, large printing companies, data centres, water treatment plants and greenhouse horticulture on an industrial scale. Seaports, recycling companies and large distribution hubs with electric fleets are also among the organisations for which this segment has been developed.
At this scale of energy storage, each project is unique. Location, grid connection, available area, desired charge and discharge rates and integration with existing systems all play a role. Shift to Solar works with your technical team or installer to design a solution that fits seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.
Solutions for industrial energy needs
Our large-scale systems are suitable for integration with solar farms, in-house generation plants, charging plazas and energy management systems:
- 2 MWh battery - For companies with high energy peaks and a robust base plant
- 5 MWh battery - For maximum mains discharge, autonomy and large-scale consumers
Both systems are modular, scalable and ready for connection to medium- or high-voltage grids.
Why Shift to Solar?
Shift to Solar is a specialist in integrated energy systems on an industrial scale. We not only supply the battery, but provide the complete technical integration, coupling and assurance of safety and performance.
What you can expect from us:
- Experience with energy storage from 2 to 5 MWh and above
- Full system integration with PV, EMS and charging infrastructure
- Certified installation according to applicable standards (NEN, SCIOS, VCA)
- Single point of contact for engineering, execution and maintenance
You get a well-thought-out system that works under load - and is ready for expansion.
What customers say about us
Within 8 weeks, what a top service
At the business park, we had a solar bicycle shed installed by Shift to Solar. The whole process from quotation, design, installation and monitoring was excellent. We are very happy with the quick delivery. For us, a worry-free process by a trusted party.
Great! Super nice that it could be done like this
We are super happy with our solar carport, where we can park and charge our electric cars. They thought with us and did a beautiful job.
