BESS
You generate solar energy, now make every kilowatt count.
Our Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) give you flexibility, resilience and control across farms, commercial buildings and industrial sites.
Whether it’s reducing peak demand, storing surplus solar or keeping critical operations online during outages, our BESS solutions integrate seamlessly with solar PV, EV charging and broader site infrastructure.
We handle the challenging parts for you: grid connection, regulatory compliance, design and installation. You get a fully engineered system built to perform safely and reliably for years to come.
How BESS works for you
Compatible with AC and DC-coupled solar PV systems (how batteries connect to your solar and grid), our solutions overcome grid constraints, allowing sites to expand solar capacity even where connections are capped. Safety is built in, with fire protection, export limitation systems and compliance with all relevant standards.
Peak shaving & load management
Cut demand charges, optimise self-consumption and get more from every kilowatt.
Backup & resilience:
Keep essential operations running when the grid goes down.
Export optimisation & arbitrage
Store energy when it’s cheap and use or sell it when it’s most valuable.
Real world examples
Agricultural
A farm limited by a capped grid connection can now install extra PV by pairing it with battery storage.
Commercial
A commercial facility can reduce peak demand costs without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Facing a maxed-out grid connection?
BESS may be the answer. Store energy, optimise exports and unlock more solar potential on your site.
Frequently asked questions
A battery energy storage system stores electricity for use at a later time. For businesses, it typically stores excess energy from solar panels or off-peak grid electricity, allowing it to be used when demand or energy prices are higher.
Battery storage helps businesses reduce energy costs by storing cheaper electricity and using it during peak times. It also improves energy resilience, reduces reliance on the grid, and supports sustainability goals by maximising the use of renewable energy.
Yes, battery systems can operate independently of solar panels. Businesses can charge batteries using grid electricity during off-peak hours and discharge during peak periods, helping to reduce energy costs and manage demand more effectively.
The duration depends on the battery size and the business’s energy usage. Some systems provide a few hours of backup power, while larger setups can support critical operations for longer periods or help manage energy usage throughout the day.
Battery storage can offer strong returns, particularly for businesses with high energy usage and longer or 24/7 operating hours. Savings come from peak shaving, load shifting, and improved energy efficiency, with additional value from increased energy security and future-proofing against rising costs.
In many UK cases, commercial battery storage may require planning permission, especially for standalone or large-scale systems. Requirements vary by location, size, and installation type, so it’s essential to check with your local planning authority before proceeding. We can assist with this process, so reach out to our expert team if you’re unsure about anything.
Commercial battery storage costs depend on system size, capacity, installation complexity, and integration with existing infrastructure. Larger or more advanced systems will increase overall investment but can deliver significant long-term savings. Speak to us to receive a bespoke quote for your requirements.
Yes, by pairing them, you can capture excess solar energy generated during the day and store it for use in the evening if you have longer operating hours or evening or night time load, maximizing your energy independence and reducing reliance on the grid.
