Why Bother With Commercial Solar Battery Storage?

There are a number of benefits to battery storage for commercial solar installations. And yes, they will come at an additional cost, but the following benefits mean most business owners think the extra cost is worth it:

Use More Solar Energy

Your solar panels are producing energy for your business anyway – whether you can use it or not. Since they’re already working to produce electricity, you might as well store it for use later when you need it. 

Spend Less Money

Solar energy is cheap energy, so the more of it you use the less money you’ll spend. By storing your energy for later use, you’ll not have to rely on energy from the national grid as much, which will save you significant money. 

Fewer Carbon Emissions

Solar energy is also greener energy, so the more of it you use to power your business, the smaller your carbon footprint will be. 

Emergency Power

Having commercial solar battery storage means you have increased energy security. When things go wrong or your solar panels aren’t producing as much as they usually do, you’ll have a backup plan. 

Energy Independence

With a commercial solar battery, you’ll be able to enjoy greater energy independence away from the National Grid, meaning if there’s ever any issue that causes power cuts in your area, you and your business won’t be affected.

How Commercial Solar Battery Storage Works

When you install a commercial battery for your solar panels, it’ll act as a storage solution between your solar panels and your business appliances that are powered by those panels. 

Your solar panels will produce electricity for your business needs as normal, but if you don’t require the use of the electricity they generate at the time they generate them, then this can be stored for later use. 

When your solar panels are no longer producing electricity at all, or producing enough electricity to power your business, such as at night or during overcast, snowy, or too hot days, then the electricity stored in the battery can be drawn upon to make up the gap. 

This is an excellent way to ensure your business is always in operation when you need it to be.

How Much Will Adding Commercial Solar Battery Storage Cost?

Existing System 

If you already have a commercial solar installation at your business premises, then it will obviously be much cheaper for you to add battery storage to it. Prices will vary between installers, but you can be rest assured that you’re getting the best deal when you compare commercial solar panel installers with us.

Generally, though, for a commercial solar battery you can expect to pay around £6,000-£12,000, or more depending on the solar battery you choose. 

New System

If you’re hoping to find a commercial solar installer who also offers commercial solar battery storage, then you’re in the right place. But it’s important to note that it will be considerably more expensive than adding a commercial solar battery storage solution to a pre-existing solar system. 

Giving a general price here isn’t exactly easy. It’ll all depend on the commercial battery you go for, the size of your solar array, the commercial solar panels you select, etc. Here, it’s best to fill out your details with us to receive a more accurate quote.

Again, it depends on the scope of your project. Larger businesses will need larger batteries and potentially multiple batteries in some cases.
