How can battery storage benefit my business?
The advantages of commercial battery storage include:
- Capture and use more of your zero-cost solar electricity
- Discharge stored solar electricity after the sun has gone down
- Top up your batteries with cheap, off-peak grid power
- Emergency power in a power-cut
- Generate revenue by supporting the grid
- Benefit from a lower carbon footprint
What’s the ideal way to finance commercial battery storage?
Battery storage is normally installed at the same time as a solar panel system, although it can also be retrofitted. Payment options are therefore usually similar to solar financing, as follows:
PAYMENT OPTION | EXPLANATION | BENEFITS | CONSIDERATIONS |
Pay Upfront | Pay for the whole solar and battery system in one go from company reserves | You own the system and benefit fully from zero-cost solar electricity and battery storage options | You need to pay for the full system cost as soon as the installation is complete |
Loan/Finance | Spread the cost of payments for your solar and battery system via a loan or other finance product | You own the system and benefit fully from zero-cost solar electricity and battery storage options | You won’t feel the financial benefits fully until the loan has been paid off |
PPA | Power Purchase Agreement – pay no installation costs for your solar panels and batteries, and get electricity at a lower rate | You don’t need to pay anything and benefit from cheaper electricity | You don’t own the system and will never get zero-cost solar electricity or additional battery storage options |
