Battery storage
Keep the sunshine you make, and spend it when power costs most.
A battery stores what your solar array makes at noon and releases it in the evening, holds your demand below your contracted peak and keeps critical loads running through a grid fault.

01How it works
Where storage fits on your site.
Every system we build connects to the same switchboard, so solar, storage and charging are designed together, against one grid connection.
01
Charge from surplus solar
When the array makes more than the site uses, the battery charges instead of exporting at a low price.
02
Shave the peaks
When demand nears your contracted capacity, the battery covers the top of the peak, so the grid never sees it.
03
Shift to the evening
Stored power runs cooling, lighting and chargers after sunset, when grid prices are highest.
04
Back up what matters
Critical circuits switch to the battery in milliseconds when the grid drops, and back again when it returns.
02Who it suits
The sites that gain most.
If your site is on this list, a site assessment will usually find a system that pays for itself.
Logistics and warehousing
Evening and night shifts that can run on the afternoon's solar.
Manufacturing
Short, sharp peaks from presses, kilns or compressors that set the capacity charge.
Retail
Cold rooms and freezers that must keep running through a fault.
Agriculture
Milking, cooling and ventilation at dawn and dusk, when the sun is low.
Education
Sites near the limit of their grid connection that are adding chargers.

04The process
Five steps, one team.
01
Load analysis
Half-hourly meter data shows your peaks, your night use and the solar you export.
02
Sizing and controls
Capacity and power chosen for the savings, with the control strategy written down.
03
Safety and permits
Fire risk assessment, siting and the network operator's approval.
04
Installation
Foundations, cabinets and the connection, planned around your operations.
05
Optimisation
We tune the controls in the first months as the real load profile comes in.

06Questions
Storage, answered.
No. Peak shaving and tariff shifting pay for themselves on many sites without solar. With solar the case is usually stronger, because the battery stores power you would otherwise export cheaply.
Site assessment
Find out how much of your peak a battery could take.
An engineer reviews your meter data and roof, visits the site and sends a written proposal with a design, a yield model and the financing options that fit. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
