Commercial Energy Storage

Battery storage sized for commercial demand

Commercial electricity tariffs include peak demand charges that a battery can significantly reduce. By storing energy during off-peak periods and discharging during demand peaks, a well-configured battery system can cut your overall electricity bill beyond what solar alone can achieve.

Our SAA-accredited Master Electricians assess your load profile and tariff structure before recommending any battery. We design for your actual commercial demand — not a residential rule-of-thumb. All installation is carried out by our own licensed team with minimal disruption to your operations.

What Battery Storage Does

Commercial battery applications

Peak demand reduction

Discharge during your tariff peak window to reduce demand charges — often the largest component of a commercial electricity bill.

Solar self-consumption

Store excess solar generation and use it during evening trading hours rather than exporting at low feed-in rates.

Backup power

Keep critical loads — refrigeration, security, IT infrastructure — running during grid outages. Configured to your specific backup requirements.

Time-of-use arbitrage

Charge from the grid at off-peak rates, discharge during peak periods. Effective where time-of-use tariffs apply.

Scalable capacity

Sigenergy and ESY systems are modular — capacity can be increased as your energy needs grow, without replacing the system.

Out-of-hours installation

Installation scheduled outside trading hours to avoid any disruption to your business operations.

FAQ

Common questions

Does my business need solar to benefit from a battery?
No. A battery can deliver savings through peak demand reduction and time-of-use arbitrage even without solar. However, combining solar with battery storage typically delivers the strongest financial outcome.
What is peak demand reduction?
Commercial tariffs often include a peak demand charge based on your highest 30-minute consumption interval in the billing period. A battery can discharge during these intervals to reduce the peak, cutting this charge significantly.
How long does commercial battery installation take?
Most commercial battery installations are completed in 1–2 days, depending on switchboard complexity and whether out-of-hours scheduling is required.
Can you install outside trading hours?
Yes. We regularly schedule commercial installations for nights and weekends to avoid disrupting business operations. We'll discuss timing requirements as part of the quoting process.
