As an SME, you want control over your energy consumption and costs. With a business battery of 30 to 60 kWh reduce your peak load, increase your own use of solar energy and become less dependent on the grid.
Have you solar panels, charging stations or a solar carport on your premises? Then a battery provides the right balance: you use your generated power directly at times when it is most beneficial to your business.
These solutions are suitable for offices, industrial halls, light manufacturing, retail and logistics environments with average consumption, among others.
Why more and more SMEs are opting for battery storage
The energy landscape is changing rapidly. Electricity prices for business customers have risen sharply in recent years and this is not expected to change any time soon. At the same time, more and more regions in the Netherlands are running into power grid limits. Grid operators such as Liander, Stedin and Enexis are indicating in more and more locations that capacity is limited. For SMEs with rooftop solar panels, this means concretely that you cannot always feed back when you want.
A business battery solves that. You store the power you generate with your panels during the day and use it later, when it suits you best. That could be in the evening when your rates are higher, or at peak times when you would otherwise draw expensive power from the grid. As an entrepreneur, you keep control of your energy costs, without being dependent on fluctuating tariffs or grid restrictions.
For which businesses is a 30 to 60 kWh battery suitable?
Battery systems in this segment are designed for smaller to medium-sized businesses with an annual consumption of up to about 50,000 kWh. Think of an office building with 20 to 40 solar panels, a car company with charging points, a catering business that generates during the day and consumes at night, or a retail location with fluctuating peaks due to cooling and lighting. This format is also often just the right step for practices, workshops and small manufacturing companies.
Whether a 30, 40, 50 or 60 kWh battery is the best fit depends on your specific consumption pattern, the size of your solar installation and what you want to achieve. Do you mainly want to reduce peak load? Then the capacity needed will be different from when you focus on maximum self-consumption. Shift to Solar always makes an analysis based on your situation, so that you know exactly which system will benefit your business the most.
