If you’re cutting your energy costs, and doing your bit to help achieve net zero carbon emissions, by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy solutions such as solar PV panels, it makes sense to install a battery energy storage system (BESS).
This technology allows energy produced from your solar installation to be stored and released when you need it the most, making sure you always have a reliable, constant supply of green energy, even when the sun isn’t shining.
At NDM Renewables we are intent on helping organisations and home owners across south west England in their quest for environmentally friendly energy solutions, including the installation of solar panel systems. We always recommend to our clients that they complement their solar power with a BESS to derive the most savings in power costs.
Battery storage technology is key to the world-wide drive towards the transition to renewable energy sources. But the benefits of BESS can be enjoyed much closer to home – in fact right in your bank account!
Working with a solar PV panel system BESS offers your premises:
• On overcast days or dark nights when power generation is low, you can draw on your own reserves from the batteries instead of resorting to the national grid.
• A supply of back-up power in the event of a power cut, avoiding costly down-time.
• Extra power to utilise at times of peak demand.
• Independence from the national grid.
• An ongoing supply of power that costs very little to generate and store.
• The ability to sell any excess stored energy to the national grid.
All you need to be able to store your own renewable energy with a storage battery is a solar PV panel array on the roof of your building, or even ground based. It is beneficial to have your own supply of cheap energy to draw on.
Storage batteries currently rely on Lithium-ion chemistry, developed by a British scientist in the 1970s. They come in units with software and control systems to monitor and co-ordinate energy production.
Storing your solar generated power is a hedge against the predicted heavy rise in the cost of electricity in the years to come. So, battery energy storage systems make economic sense as well as contributing to a greener, cleaner planet.
Our expert team at NDM Renewables are able to create and implement a strategy, using solar PV panels in conjunction with battery storage.
