The use of solar energy has risen on an average of 24 percent annual. With a growing number of companies moving to clean power to decrease carbon emissions and minimise reliance on expensive fossil fuels, numerous are finding the additional benefits of using solar panels in combination with commercial battery-based storage systems.
Having a solar battery can also allow businesses to save more, save more energy, and also generate more income by utilising excess solar power.
At Solar Dream, we assist businesses in designing appropriate solar panel and battery solutions to make optimum use of energy consumption and economical savings.
Would Solar Batteries Find Commercial Application?
Yes indeed, it is often the case that commercial buildings are benefiting even more than residential buildings.
Companies would not operate without lights:
- computers
- servers
- manufacturing equipment
- refrigeration units
- alarm and security systems
An abrupt power failure may cause a loss of data, damage of equipment, loss of time in operation, or even threats to people’s lives.
The use of a commercial solar battery provides a safety net that your building is guaranteed of power when required on a daily or year round basis.
How Big is the Solar Battery my Business Should Have?
The appropriate battery size is determined by following factors:
Your real estate and its power requirements
A simple rule is:
- The battery must have a minimum of twice your daily use of electricity.
- This will have adequate back up in times of low sunshine.
- Watts needed in peak output.
There are commercial tools and machines that consume much power within a shorter period of time.
For example:
- industrial saws
- heavy motors
- welders
The battery should be able to produce a large amount of power on demand, rather than merely store energy.
Your purpose for the battery
Do you want the battery to:
- act as emergency backup only?
- spend sun surplus on harnessing itself, rather than to the export market?
- can subsidize peak time grid rates?
Based on your intended usage, we will be able to select the appropriate solar capacity of the battery, the size of the inverter, and storage.
Advantages of Commercial Solar Battery Storage System
Additional On-site Consumption of Your own Renewable Energy.
Businesses do not have sunshine throughout the year- and not in the UK. The less sun the less electricity may be produced by your solar panels, reflecting the conditions at winter or during clouds.
A battery will enable you to accumulate the extra energy during bright periods, which can be used during periods of low sunlight.
Better still when your solar system generates more than you can consume or store, then you can sell the excess to the grid as an extra source of revenue.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
An integrated solar panel / battery system will reduce the use of conventional and polluting energy sources. The way your business can save money with renewable energy of your own production:
- considerably reduced carbon pollution.
- improve sustainability
- meet ESG goals
- enhance brand reputation
- appeal to environmentally friendly buyers.
Companies that are greatly concerned with their environment are likely to have better trust and competitiveness.

FAQs
Yes—solar batteries help companies reduce energy costs, boost energy independence, and protect against power outages. They also improve sustainability and long-term savings.
Battery size depends on your energy usage, peak power demands, and intended purpose. A good rule is to choose storage at least twice your daily electricity consumption.
You can store excess solar energy, reduce grid reliance, and even sell surplus power. It also lowers your carbon footprint and strengthens your company’s ESG profile.
