QueenslandControl Your Energy Future with Battery Storage.
If you are exploring a new solar setup for your business, including a battery is a must to capitalise on the clean energy you create. If your building already has solar, retrofitting a battery can bridge the gap between self-generated energy and grid use, further reducing energy costs.

Why Incorporate a Battery.
Where solar creates electricity during the day, a battery stores the electricity so you can use it when the sun has gone down. This is often considered on-peak, attracting higher rates and can rely on fossil fuel energy generation.
A solar + battery system supports the sustainability and energy goals over the lifetime of the hardware, with growing returns over time in line with rising energy costs. Once your energy consumption is reduced, from upgrades such as lighting, water heating and HVAC, a battery can take your business further along the sustainability journey to cover greater energy usage, and even feed electric vehicle chargers.
Below is an example of production-consumption throughout the day with surplus electricity feeding into the grid, compared to using the surplus to charge a battery for use when panels aren’t generating electricity.
Battery + Solar.
Scalable Energy Solutions.
Smart batteries and inverters can power your business, recharge the battery and feed excess electricity into the grid to offset any surplus requirements. With emerging technologies, battery capacity can scale up with the demands of the business, and solar capacity can be extended to supply additional energy.
Reduced Reliance on the Grid.
Battery storage connected to a solar system can cut your environmental footprint by maximising the clean energy produced during daylight hours and reduce the need to purchase expensive electricity.
Demand Management.
Battery storage can help your business manage energy demands by storing excess energy when demand is low, and deploying that energy during peak times. Peak hours often equal higher energy supply costs due to the demand on the grid.
Backup Power.
With an owned and contained energy source, some battery systems can provide power during grid outages, emergencies or maintenance periods to ensure uninterrupted operations for essential equipment and services. This can be especially important for businesses such as hospitals and healthcare facilities, accommodation providers, data centres, manufacturing and emergency services.
