Energy storage-Maximizing the return from solar cells with battery storage

Battery storage - optimized use of electricity from solar cells

More and more companies have already taken the step towards producing their own electricity by investing in solar cells. It is a good step both to achieve environmental goals faster both within the company and nationally, get a better economy and higher marketing value to customers. Through solar cells, you get to take advantage of the solar energy that the sun gives naturally and largely go from being a consumer to a producer of electricity, which means that you as a company also become less dependent on the outside world.
But for us in Sweden to continue to manage the electricity from the sun, we need to energize it with a battery storage - and there we also find new lucrative revenue opportunities.

In order to fully utilize this self-generated electricity and at the same time open the door to new revenue streams, an efficient storage solution is required. This is where BESS, or Battery Energy Storage Systems, come in. A BESS is not just a battery, but a complete and intelligent system that includes battery modules, an advanced Battery Management System (BMS), inverters and integrated safety technologies such as cooling and fire protection. This complete solution makes it possible to safely and optimally store surplus electricity from solar cells, cut power peaks in the property or, as mentioned earlier, participate in the profitable frequency markets.

Energy storage provides electricity even without own production

By choosing to invest in solar cells, you as a company take a big step towards better economic conditions. However, if this investment is supplemented with battery storage, it becomes even more lucrative based on today's electricity market. The principle of having a battery storage is that you always have access to stored electricity and have the opportunity to supply the electricity grid with a higher proportion of green electricity.

However, it is precisely frequency regulation and its support services to Svenska Kraftnät that create the greatest share of return today.

Storing energy is not dependent on solar cells to charge, but the advantages are that micro-producers of renewable energy do not have to charge the battery on purchased electricity and that there is a higher sustainability value in supplying guaranteed green power resources to the electricity grid.

We help you optimize a solution based on your conditions, needs and requirements. We can also ensure that your energy storage is adapted to the property's electricity consumption and thus ensure good performance, which in turn creates better financial returns.

Frequency regulation - supporting the grid and making money

Sweden has energy challenges. The electrical revolution is here and our Swedish electricity grid - consisting of 58,400 miles of line and managed by Svenska Kraftnät - is under enormous pressure.

Svenska Kraftnät's task is to create a balance between electricity production and consumption, and this is called frequency regulation.

How does frequency regulation work?

Frequency regulation means that a constant electrical frequency of 50 Hz must be maintained in the electricity grid during all hours of the day, which is directly crucial for creating a stable and robust energy system. The problems in the electricity grid can be seen, for example, in the differences in electricity prices between the north and the south, which are largely due to shortcomings in the transmission of electricity. But there are more challenges than that, one of the biggest being balancing the increasing share of renewable energy sources.

When electricity from solar and wind power fluctuates, the grid needs to compensate quickly to avoid blackouts. This is where energy storage becomes a crucial resource for the country's continued investment in renewable electricity by being able to back up the grid with power reserves.

This is precisely what has made investments in energy storage with batteries a very profitable business. In summary, this means that battery storage at your company gives you the opportunity to help support our Swedish electricity grid, and at the same time get very well paid for it.

Our business model - Greentech-As-A Service - means that we take responsibility for managing the frequency trading with Svenska Kraftnät at the same time as we have operational responsibility for your battery storage. If you already have, or are planning for, an investment in solar energy and supplement with a stable energy storage, you will reach break-even faster and can start recouping the entire investment in a few years. 

Battery storage - smoothing out variations

There are other benefits of an energy storage system. One of them is that it helps to create stability in the building. On a sunny day, solar energy is stored and can be used on a cloudy or dark day. In a country like Sweden - where we have a long winter on the one hand and a summer with sunshine almost around the clock on the other - energy storage becomes a way to smooth out the variations and thus optimize the use of solar cells. In addition, it is also economical to take advantage of variations in spot prices by buying electricity when it is cheap and selling it when it is expensive, a strategy known as electricity price arbitrage.

Sweden has excellent conditions for solar energy and - spread over the whole year - we have almost as many hours of sunshine as Germany. In Germany, however, there are significantly more photovoltaic installations. By storing energy and investing in the established technology of today's battery storage, we can manage electricity from solar cells and thus take the next step in the energy revolution. We would be happy to help your company take the step into the future.

You can read more about these on the website under News section or Referenceswhere we update the material regularly. In addition, we base the calculations in business dialogues on these experiences.

How well does energy storage work in practice, how much money do you save - and how good an effect and return does energy storage give to owners of solar cell installations? You probably have a lot of questions, and by taking a first meeting with us, we have the opportunity to show you figures based on real-life examples using our experience.

Stand-alone battery storage

We always work systematically on the basis that each customer is unique. The needs of commercial properties are often different from those of a large industrial company. The key to successful stand-alone battery storage is to first identify each customer's specific needs and then customize the battery storage system based on the insights provided by this investigation.

Through an in-depth analysis and using our professional team's extensive experience in stand-alone battery storage, we can optimize both the sizing and the use of the batteries. We analyze the customer's electricity consumption, identify peaks and troughs, and determine how much energy needs to be stored to meet the current demand.

In this evaluation, we also take into account factors such as reserve capacity and work with you, the customer, to anticipate future needs. For example, we can consider the impact of any expansion on energy demand and whether there are reasons to plan for additional battery capacity now. We also present a costing and detailed analysis of the return on investment (ROI), including how long it might take for your initial investment to start paying off.

Our aim is always to create a tailor-made end-to-end solution based on each customer's unique needs and circumstances.

We are with you all the way from start to finish

Investing in energy storage is something we will see more of in the future. We are on the cusp of a major change and we are on the cusp of an energy revolution where fossil fuels will be phased out. Already now, many people are taking the step - and already now there are great benefits in doing so.

We are a company that has the capacity to tailor battery energy storage solutions to our customers' unique needs and conditions. Our goal is to create an optimal solution for each unique customer. This also means that we are involved in the entire journey. From planning and design, to installation and, far into the future, being able to contribute to the ongoing supply of energy from your battery storage to Svenska Kraftnät.
