Energy Storage for Businesses and Commercial Properties

We supply and install battery storage systems for businesses

SBP supplies and installs battery storage systems for commercial properties and industrial facilities. We analyze your electricity consumption, design the solution, and handle the planning and installation.

We also install solar panels and are happy to assist you with solar power generation and battery storage as part of the same service. If you’d like to install just a battery storage system, we can help you with that—whether or not you already have solar panels.

With battery storage, you can reduce your draw from the power grid during peak demand periods and use more of your own solar power. We’ll develop a solution tailored to your property, business, and budget.

Here's how we can help you

We tailor the battery storage system to your electricity usage and your goals.

Reduce power peaks

We size the battery to reduce the building’s draw on the power grid when operations are using a lot of electricity at the same time. This can also lower the power cost in your grid contract.

Use more of your solar power

We integrate the battery with the solar power system so that excess electricity can be stored and used when the business needs it.

Get help with installation and operation

We design and install the battery storage system. If you choose our full-service option, we’ll also handle operations, maintenance, monitoring, and support.

Battery Storage and Solar Panels: Together or Separately

Battery storage can be combined with a new or existing solar power system, but it also works as a standalone solution. We start by analyzing how and when the business uses electricity and then design a system tailored to the property’s specific conditions.

If you’d like to generate your own electricity, we’ll install solar panels on your property and design the solar system and battery as a comprehensive solution. If you already have solar panels, we’ll help you expand your system with a battery storage solution.

A standalone battery is charged from the power grid and can be used, among other things, to reduce costly power spikes. Which solution offers the greatest benefit depends on your consumption, the property’s capacity, and your business’s future needs.

BESS: Batteries, Control, and Safety in One System

BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage System. It is a complete energy storage system in which batteries, inverters, control systems, and safety features work together.

The system is designed based on what you need the battery to do—such as smoothing out power peaks, storing solar power, or supporting electric vehicle charging. We also take into account the location, the property’s electrical system, and how the battery will be connected.

Store solar power for the hours when you need it in your business

Solar panels do not always produce the most electricity when a business’s demand is at its highest. With a battery storage system, some of the surplus can therefore be stored and used later in the day, rather than being fed directly into the power grid.
‍
We tailor the battery’s size and control system to both solar panel output and the property’s consumption patterns, giving you better opportunities to use a larger portion of the electricity you generate yourself in your operations.

A battery’s power and energy capacity determine how quickly it can be charged and how much energy can be stored. Commercial batteries are primarily used to shift energy between different hours or parts of the day, rather than to store summer solar power for the winter.

Battery Storage for New Charging Stations

When multiple vehicles are charging at the same time, a property’s power demand can increase significantly. A battery storage system can relieve the strain on the power grid during these periods and help ensure a more even load.
‍
We plan battery storage and electric vehicle charging as an integrated solution. In doing so, we take into account the power output of the chargers, the property’s other electricity usage, and the capacity available from the power grid.

The extent to which a battery can reduce the load depends on its power, energy capacity, and the ability to recharge it between peak load periods. In some buildings, it can reduce the need for a larger grid connection, while in other cases it works best as a supplement.

Support Services and Frequency Control Using Battery Storage

The Swedish power system must maintain a constant balance between generation and consumption, and when that balance shifts, it affects the frequency, which in the Nordic power system must remain around 50 Hz. To manage rapid changes, Svenska kraftnät procures various types of ancillary services.

A battery storage system can respond quickly. When there is a surplus of electricity, it can increase its charge, and when there is a shortage, it can reduce its consumption or feed stored electricity back into the grid. It is precisely this rapid regulation that makes batteries well-suited to helping maintain the balance of the power grid.

If the battery is used for ancillary services, a portion of its capacity is reserved for that purpose. Depending on the service and the agreement, compensation may be paid both for available capacity and for energy that is actually delivered or received when the battery is activated.

The possibility of compensation must always be assessed based on the specific project. The battery must meet the service’s technical requirements and be eligible for participation. Reserved capacity may also affect how the battery can be used in your own property. Therefore, we clarify responsibilities, governance, grid connection, and compensation terms in the plan you choose.

Standalone battery storage

A battery storage system does not have to be combined with solar panels, although doing so offers significant benefits. For commercial properties and industrial facilities, for example, a standalone solution can be used to balance the load, reduce power peaks, or provide capacity for new energy-intensive functions.

We analyze the property’s consumption patterns and identify when the demand for power is at its highest. We then size the battery for the specific task it is intended to perform, taking into account both current usage and planned changes to operations.
‍
The battery’s power, measured in kW, indicates how quickly it can charge or deliver electricity. The energy capacity, measured in kWh, indicates how much energy can be stored. The right balance between these two values is crucial for the battery to deliver its intended benefits.

Let's calculate the business benefits for your organization

To help you make an informed decision, we’ll provide you with a calculation that takes into account the investment, potential savings, and other relevant revenue streams. Consumption data, utility bills, electricity contracts, and information about upcoming changes help us make our initial assessment as accurate as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Storage

  • Are solar panels required to have battery storage?

    No, although that is preferable if you want to truly take advantage of solar energy. We also supply and install battery storage systems that are charged from the power grid. If you’d like to combine the battery with new or existing solar panels, we can help you with that as well.
  • How does participation in support services work?

    The battery maintains available capacity and can adjust its output or input to help balance the power system. Compensation depends on the service and agreement. Participation requires that the battery meet the service’s technical requirements and be qualified. The section on support services above explains how this works.
  • Can the battery handle power spikes and be used for other services?

    Yes, the solution can be scaled to handle multiple tasks. The control system needs to prioritize between the building’s needs, solar power storage, and any ancillary services. The same capacity cannot be used for everything at the same time.
  • How much energy storage does a company need?

    We’ll help you choose the right size based on your electricity consumption and the battery’s specifications. We analyze consumption peaks and troughs and take future needs into account to determine the power in kW and energy capacity in kWh.

  • Can energy storage be implemented without an initial investment?

    Yes, with our Energy-As-A-Service offering. We finance the solution and assume responsibility for its operation and functionality. Read more in the section on comprehensive responsibility above.
