COMMERCIAL BATTERY STORAGE
Commercial Battery Storage Systems For Your Business
Energy storage, or battery storage solutions, in the form of on-site battery units provide businesses with the ability to store and release electricity at predetermined times. These systems operate autonomously from the grid, ensuring independence, and serve as backup power when required.
GB NRG delivers a comprehensive turnkey solution for battery storage, encompassing a thorough analysis of your business’s suitability, technology specification, system design, and seamless installation.
The batteries store excess energy during the day, making it available for use at night or during cloudy periods. By efficiently capturing and storing solar energy, BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) reduces reliance on the grid, promotes energy independence, and significantly reduces carbon footprints.
With battery storage, renewable energy is readily accessible at all times.
The Variations of Batteries
The Different Types of Commercial Battery Storage
When it comes to solar batteries, there’s a range of options, each with its unique characteristics and benefits. Here’s a breakdown:
- Lead-Acid Batteries: Affordable and commonly used, they come in two types: flooded (suitable for larger systems with regular maintenance) and sealed (maintenance-free, ideal for smaller setups).
- Lithium-Ion Batteries: Known for high energy density, longer lifespan, and lightweight design. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, a specific type, offer safety, stability, and efficiency.
- Emerging Technologies: Like flow batteries and saltwater batteries, offer scalability and non-toxicity advantages.
Choosing the right solar battery hinges on factors like budget, energy storage needs, and project specifics.
Is It Affordable?
Is Battery Storage Worth It?
Solar batteries are now more affordable than ever, opening up renewable energy storage to a broader spectrum of businesses. This reduced cost, combined with financial incentives and favourable financing options, makes investing in solar batteries a cost-effective decision.
Furthermore, these batteries boast a long lifespan, ensuring a substantial return on investment by providing reliable energy storage for many years to come.
SOLAR PANELS + BATTERY STORAGE
INTEGRATING commercial battery storage
Commonly, battery storage solutions are combined with commercial solar panels to optimise energy savings and unlock various financial and environmental advantages.
Alternatively, these battery units can operate independently, without a renewable energy source, storing low-cost grid energy during off-peak periods and discharging during peak times to mitigate demand charges and high-energy costs

// FAQ
Is it advisable to wait for technological advancements?
If current battery storage technology meets your needs and the benefits outweigh the costs, it’s advisable to proceed with implementation rather than waiting for future advancements. However, if you can afford to wait and anticipate significant improvements in efficiency or cost-effectiveness, delaying may be beneficial. Evaluate urgency, costs, and potential benefits to make an informed decision.
