Commercial storage for businesses

A commercial storage system is not a bigger home battery. Businesses have higher power levels, more complex load profiles, larger PV systems, e-mobility, grid connection limits, load peaks and, in some cases, backup power requirements.

The starting problem

Many businesses generate electricity with PV systems but consume it at other times. At the same time, short load peaks arise from machines, compressors, refrigeration or charging points. The grid connection becomes the bottleneck and electricity costs become harder to plan.

How a storage system can help

A commercial storage system can buffer PV power, reduce load peaks, relieve grid connections, support EV charging stations and secure defined loads during a grid outage.

Key planning factors

• 15-minute load profile
• PV power and PV surplus
• grid connection capacity
• demand charges
• e-mobility
• backup power requirements
• installation site
• EMS/Modbus requirements

When caution is advised

Caution is advised when no 15-minute load profile is available or the decision is to be made on price per kWh alone: without load data, neither the required storage power nor the economics can be determined seriously.
