Commercial solar storage can support self-consumption and planned backup loads. Whether load shifting or peak management has an economic benefit depends on your tariff, demand profile and system cost. A project design is required before a battery cabinet can be specified.
Understand the load profile
Gather utility bills, interval consumption data where available, peak power, phase requirements and a list of critical circuits.
Define system architecture
Confirm AC or DC coupling, inverter voltage range, battery communications, protective devices and the power required during an outage.
Evaluate site requirements
Review fire protection, ventilation or cooling, access, grid interconnection and the approvals required for the specific project location.
