For companies in large SMEs, energy is not an afterthought. Consumption is structurally higher, installations are more heavily loaded and flexibility is essential. Think of production companies, larger logistics halls, food companies, technical installers or organisations with multiple charging points.
A business battery of 100 to 200 kWh helps you smooth out consumption peaks, use your own solar generation smarter and reduce your reliance on grid capacity.This business batteries form a stable energy buffer to match dynamic operations with higher energy demand.
Why battery storage is now becoming indispensable for large SMEs
The energy transition directly affects companies in the large SME sector. Grid capacity in the Netherlands is already limited in many locations and this will only get tighter in the coming years. Grid operators warn that grid expansions will only take effect after 2030. For companies that already have solar panels or want to expand, this means you can't wait. Feeding back to the grid is not possible in more and more places, or only to a limited extent.
With battery storage of 100 to 200 kWh, you make yourself less dependent on those restrictions. You store your own power and use it when it suits you. This not only prevents generated energy from going to waste, but also reduces your peak load on the grid. And precisely this peak load determines a large part of your energy bill as a business customer. Fewer peaks means lower costs, without having to compromise on productivity or comfort.
Which companies fit this segment?
Companies with annual consumption between 50,000 and 200,000 kWh typically fall into this segment. These are manufacturing companies with machinery running at fixed times, larger logistics sites with charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, food companies with refrigeration and freezing plants, or technical service providers with a heavily loaded electricity grid. Healthcare institutions, larger office buildings and multi-tenant business premises also regularly fall into this category.
The right battery capacity depends on your consumption profile, the size of your solar installation and what your operations look like. A business that runs at full capacity all day requires a different configuration than an office that peaks mainly during the day. Shift to Solar always maps this out before we come up with a proposal, so you know that the solution fits your situation.
