Solar + Storage

What Storage Adds to a Solar Plant

Solar generates at midday. Commercial tariffs peak in the evening. Without storage a site exports its cheapest energy and buys back its most expensive - and storage is simply the mechanism for closing that gap.

Solar Shifting

Solar Shifting

Surplus midday generation is stored and used in the evening instead of being exported at a low rate.

Tariff Arbitrage

Tariff Arbitrage

Charging from solar or cheap off-peak grid power and discharging when tariffs are highest.

Demand Charge Control

Demand Charge Control

Trimming the demand peaks that set a large share of a commercial electricity bill.

Self-Consumption

Self-Consumption

Raising the share of generated energy the site uses itself rather than exporting.

Export Management

Export Management

Keeping export within sanctioned limits where a connection agreement caps it.

Integrated Delivery

Integrated Delivery

Solar and storage designed together, so inverter, protection and control decisions are made once.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why add storage to a working solar plant?

Because solar generates when the sun is up, which rarely matches when a commercial site is paying most for power. Storage moves that energy into the expensive hours.

Is exporting surplus not simpler?

Simpler, but usually worth less. Export rates are generally well below the tariff a site pays to import, so self-consumption is the more valuable route.

Does storage help with demand charges?

Yes. Demand charges are set by short peaks, and discharging across those peaks is one of the more reliable ways to reduce them.
