How can battery storage help my organisation?
If you have solar panels, battery storage allows you to capture more of your solar electricity.
The advantages of public sector battery storage include:
- Capture and use more of your zero-cost solar electricity
- Discharge stored solar electricity after the sun has gone down
- Use to power buildings during the night and provide a reliable source of energy to EV charging ports
- 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 and support public sector decarbonisation goals
Infinity Energy Services will carry out a full diagnostic of your needs and then propose a bespoke battery storage solution to help you achieve your net zero goals.
What are the benefits of installing battery storage in the public sector?
Installing battery storage brings about many benefits, enhancing the value and utility of renewable energy installations and ensuring the resilience and reliability of power supply. Here are some of the main benefits:
Certain models of battery storage allow public sector buildings to have a backup energy source during grid outages.
Batteries can be charged during periods of low energy demand and discharged during peak demand, reducing peak energy consumption from the grid. This can lower electricity bills, especially in areas with demand-based or time-of-use pricing.
Batteries can store excess energy generated from renewable sources, like solar or wind, and release it when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing, ensuring a continuous power supply and maximising the utilisation of renewable resources.
Battery storage can provide frequency regulation, voltage support, and other grid services, helping to maintain the stability and reliability of the power grid.
By promoting the use of renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel-based power during peak times, battery storage can help in significantly reducing carbon emissions.
By utilising stored energy during peak pricing periods, public sector organisations can achieve significant savings on their energy bills. Additionally, some utilities may offer incentives or rebates for battery storage installations that provide grid services.
In some regions, public sector organisations can participate in demand response programs or energy markets, using their battery systems to sell stored energy or grid services.
By adopting advanced technologies like battery storage, the public sector can set a precedent for sustainable and resilient energy practices, encouraging other sectors and the general public to follow suit.
When considering the installation of battery storage in the public sector, it’s essential to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the potential costs, benefits, and operational implications. Our expert installers ensure that the storage system aligns with your energy goals to provide maximum value.

Professional & reliable
Everyone in the company was knowledgable and professional - they clearly know what they are doing! The whole process from start to finish was very smooth with each stage explained in advance and all dates and times were kept to. I would have no hesitation in recommending Infinity Energy Services.

Infinity Energy - expert and professional
Infinity Energy were a great company to deal with. They provided regular updates, and discussed delivery of the units prior to installation. Their installers were efficient and expert and installed the units inside of one day. They left the office clean and tidy and took away all the boxes. The system is working very well and the company's specification of what we needed for heating/cooling seems to have been accurate.

Lovely company to deal with
Infinity Energy were a lovely company to deal with. From the outset, they explained what the process was, what work would be done when - we had to rearrange a few dates, but this was done quickly and efficiently.

Battery storage technology
There are many types of battery storage, each with its own chemistry and electricity delivery mechanism. Examples include:
- Lithium-Ion (Li-ion)
- Flow Batteries
- Sodium-Sulphur (NaS)
- Advanced Lead Acid Batteries
- Solid State Batteries
- Nickel-Based Batteries
The most common, popular and versatile battery chemistry at the moment is Lithium-Ion. Details include:
Lithium-Ion Batteries
- Description: Currently the most popular battery technology, Li-ion batteries have high energy density, fast charge/discharge rates, and long cycle life.
- Applications: Suitable for almost all public sector applications, from backing up critical infrastructure to pairing with renewable energy installations.
- Advantages: High efficiency, declining costs, scalability, long lifespan, and low maintenance.
Our recommendation
The main brands we recommend for lithium-ion battery storage systems include:
- Tesla
- Sonnen
- Tesvolt
Tesla, for example, remains a compelling battery storage provider for public sector premises. Their products are reliable, well-built, and offer a wide range of features to future-proof your storage options.
We won a Performance Excellence Award from Tesla in 2023 for our high standards installing their premium Powerwall product.
