Commercial Battery Storage
Commercial solar battery storage can aid the saving potential of solar systems for businesses with specific usage habits. If your energy usage is high at night, industrial solar battery storage could significantly boost your savings.

We couldn’t be happier with the process and are now saving £300,000 per year on our electricity costs.
We’d highly recommend considering commercial solar.
How commercial solar batteries aid your commercial solar system
Saving big on high energy costs
Energy costs are set to rise by 20-30% per year until 2030. Hedging against this near certainty with commercial solar battery storage will lead to large cost deductions.
Reducing grid reliance and cost volatility
2021 and 2022 exposed many businesses to their reliance on the grid and vulnerability to price changes. Commercial solar battery storage will reduce your exposure to energy volatility.
Reducing carbon footprint by thousands of kilograms
With Net Zero targets putting many businesses under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, commercial solar battery storage serves as a brilliant vehicle to do so.
Immediate savings potential with PPA
With Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), businesses can reduce costs in their first year of having industrial solar battery storage with £0 upfront payment.
Should commercial solar batteries always be installed with commercial solar systems?
The need for commercial solar batteries depends on your business’s nature and energy usage.
Providers claiming all systems should be installed with dedicated battery storage are unfortunately misguided.
We conduct many consultations where the addition of commercial solar battery storage would significantly increase the payback period and reduce overall savings from the system as a whole.

Sometimes, our clients do not have visibility over the full picture at the point of consultation.
In these cases, we often install the solar system without any accompanying battery storage solutions but with monitoring and technologies in place that will allow us to make a better judgement in 6-12 months time.
Should the data show that a commercial battery storage solution would provide a significant return on investment (financial, ecologically etc.), then we will retrofit a commercial solar battery storage system at no additional cost compared to installing it initially.
This approach ensures our clients have full visibility of the impact of their long-term decisions and allows us to be confident in our projections.
Would commercial solar battery storage benefit my business?
While no two systems are the same, there are some typical characteristics of businesses that we would expect to significantly benefit from the addition of a commercial battery storage system alongside a commercial solar system.
That said, we always recommend seeking expert counsel so that the data is there to void any assumptions made.
ThermoFisher cut energy costs by 15% without any upfront or ongoing costs
Custodian Capital are one of our repeat clients and partners. By installing an 830 kW solar system on one of their properties, they were able to pass on a 15% reduction in energy costs to ThermoFisher.
This is under a common arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) whereby an asset manager will fund and maintain an installation under an agreement to sell the energy at a reduced rate to the property user.

Commercial solar battery storage FAQs
We’ve created an extensive library of frequently asked questions from our prospects, customers and the general public about commercial solar battery storage.
You can view the FAQs specific to this page to the right.
Yes, it is beneficial to add commercial electric car chargers to your solar car park, though it is not a requirement. The addition of an EV charging station can be attractive to both your employees and your customers. There are more and more electric cars on the road each year. Having a place to charge them can be an added bonus for employees and customers. Learn more about commercial electric car chargers.
Generally speaking, you do not need to secure planning permission for your solar car park. However, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local planning authority. Should planning permission be needed for your car park solar canopies, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
A solar car park protects your business from rising energy costs because you are generating your own electricity which means that your building is less reliant on grid power. Your building is then protected from fluctuating energy prices. Energy from commercial solar carports offers stable, predictable costs for 25+ years, giving you better control over the operational expenses of your facility.
Building a solar car park can be scheduled to minimise disruption to your customers and employees. The length of installation time depends on the size of the area, and will be communicated with you. It will be managed around your routines to ensure minimal impact on your business.
Commercial solar carports are steel structures placed in car parks. They make the most of often underused spaces by generating solar energy and provide a shaded area for cars. This will create a new revenue stream for your business, reduce energy costs, lower the carbon footprint of your business, improve brand perception to the growing eco-conscious population and help create an opportunity to offer EV charging to your employees and customers.
You may or may not need planning permission for your commercial battery storage. There are many factors to consider. This includes the size and scale, aesthetic impact, structural safety and whether or not your building is listed. Should planning permission be needed, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
