A business battery is always customised. Every organisation has a unique consumption profile, different business processes and specific goals such as self-consumption peak smoothing or grid relief.
If you are requesting a no-obligation quote from Shift to Solar, then fill in a short form in a few minutes. In the open field, you can explain your situation.
After your enquiry, we will take personal contact within 24 hours with you to discuss your situation. That way, we will provide you with well-founded advice and a battery solution that really suits your organisation.
5 MWh (5000 kWh) battery as a solution for:
Dealing with limited grid capacity
In areas where grid connection is a bottleneck, a 5000 kWh battery offers a solution. You store generated energy when there is space and use it at times of high demand. This keeps you operationally secure without depending on grid reinforcement.Large-scale storage of solar power
With large-scale PV installations, not all the energy generated is consumed immediately. Thanks to 5 MWh of storage capacity, you avoid wastage by temporarily storing this power and using it later - at your convenience.Spread peak consumption and reduce costs
With a battery of this size, you can absorb peaks in your energy consumption. That way, you structurally reduce your peak load, keep your infrastructure stable and benefit from lower energy costs.The 5 MWh battery offers more possibilities than we list here. We are happy to think with you about what suits your situation.
Why a 5 mWh battery from Shift to Solar?
Shift to Solar realises integrated energy solutions at megawatt level. We do not just supply batteries, but build systems in which storage, generation and consumption work together perfectly.
What you can expect from us:
- Experience with battery storage in various sectors
- Full integration with solar panels, solar carports, charging infrastructure and energy management systems
- Installation according to highest standards (NEN, SCIOS, VCA)
- Single point of contact for advice, realisation and management
We ensure that the battery is fully integrated into your existing energy system, including connection to solar panels, charging infrastructure and monitoring.
Technology & coupling
The 5 MWh battery is matched to your energy supply. Depending on the situation, we choose:
AC coupling - Suitable for integration with existing electrical installations and grid infrastructure.
DC coupling - Direct connection to inverters. Highly efficient in new solar farms or hybrid systems.
Our technical experts will guide you through choices around:
- The best coupling method (AC or DC)
- Container arrangement, indoor placement or modular units
- Monitoring and energy management
- Scalability and forward-looking design
- Meeting certification and insurance standards
Installation according to industry standards
At 5000 kWh storage capacity, safety is key. We supply systems that meet the strictest requirements in terms of fire safety, ventilation, compartmentalisation and maintenance. Whether you opt for a container arrangement or a building-mounted installation - we ensure safe and future-proof realisation.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about battery storage
Is a permit needed for a 5 MWh battery?
Yes, at this scale is a licence almost always required. We support the application and provide the technical documentation.
Can the system be expanded later?
Absolutely. Our solutions are modular and prepared for expansion to larger capacities.
Can the battery be used as a backup?
Sure. The battery can be configured as an emergency power supply for essential processes in case of grid failure.
How is security ensured?
We install according to all applicable standards (NEN 4288, SCIOS Scope 12) and coordinate the system with your insurer.
Is coupling with existing solar installations possible?
Yes. We provide full integration with existing PV systems, charging infrastructure and possibly an EMS.
