Energy storage
Using the batteries
Batteries are no longer used simply to store photovoltaic solar energy when the sun goes down. The financial and environmental benefits for industrial and commercial companies have increased as costs have decreased.
Energy storage
How can you take advantage of energy storage?
Peak Shaving
Discharge at times of peak demand to avoid or reduce typical commercial rate charges
Load Switching:
Switch your power consumption from one moment to the next to avoid paying high prices. This is not as simple as it seems. The best solar batteries are programmed with your electricity rate and details about your solar photovoltaic system. An energy storage system can use this information to adjust charging and discharging times to save you as much as possible.
Emergency Backup
Provide intermediate standby power to your business. This function can be autonomous or linked to the solar panels. You can incorporate a grid-tie microgrid for the most robust backup
Transform your energy strategy with resilience
While it’s easy to focus on saving money on your utility bill, solar batteries are also important for increasing resilience.
Extreme weather conditions and power grid outages are becoming more frequent. The batteries will ensure that you will continue to do business no matter what happens.
Avolta Energy can design a solar and energy storage system that will protect you from power outages as well as manage power quality issues.
saving with batteries
How much will I save if I add the batteries?
The economic savings that you will generate with batteries depends on four aspects:
Your service fee structure.
Rates that have different energy charges throughout the day, and rates that charge based on peak power usage, tend to result in big savings. Rates that include both features are good targets for batteries.
Your energy usage profile.
Consumers with short and large spikes in their energy use will benefit most from spike mitigation strategies. If there are many short spikes in power usage, a smaller battery can be recharged between each spike. Long, large spikes don't allow time to replenish storage between spikes that require more energy
The size of your consumption.
The bigger your bill, the more you can save. Significant economies of scale persist in larger projects. Energy storage costs per unit can be 40-50% lower for large projects compared to smaller storage projects.
The cost of the interruption.
Although business interruption expenses are not a line item on your utility bill, they are a real cost. If the cost of outage is high or you use on-site generators, a grid-connected microgrid could eliminate this
