Commercial battery storageand business EV charging
Commercial battery storage keeps more of your solar power for when you need it. Add business EV charging and run vehicles on energy you generate yourself.
MCS certified installerSolar often peaks when your demand dips. A battery stores that midday surplus for evenings and nights, and EV chargers turn spare generation into miles, so less of your power leaves the site.
Keep your surplus
Store midday generation instead of exporting it, then use it when the sun goes down.
Charge on your own power
Staff, fleet and visitor vehicles charge from solar by day and stored power later.
Manage your peaks
Schedule battery use and charging to avoid demand peaks and protect your supply.
How storage and charging work with your solar
Energy flows to where it is most useful: your building first, then the battery and chargers, with the grid as back-up.
Solar generation
Your panels generate through the day, with SolarEdge optimisers tuning each one. New or existing solar can feed the battery and chargers once we have checked it.
- New or existing solar systems
- Panel-level output with optimisers
- Existing kit reviewed before design
Battery storage and EV charging options
Add one, or both. We model your site with and without each option, so you can see the difference before you decide.
Option 1 of 3Commercial battery storage
A battery stores surplus solar for use later in the day. It is strongest where your solar would export a lot at midday, or where you run evenings and nights. It can be added to new solar and, often, to existing systems.
- Best for
- Evening and 24-hour sites
- Works with
- New or existing solar
- Key check
- Inverter, supply and siting
Is battery storage right for your site?
Commercial battery storage and EV charging pay back best on certain sites. Here is what makes a strong fit, and what we check for you.
Check my siteSend us your address, a recent bill and details of any existing solar. We’ll tell you if storage or charging adds value.
Strong fit ifGood sign
- You run evenings, nights or around the clock

Storage and EV charging questions answered
Straight answers to the questions we’re asked most. Pick a question to read the answer.
It depends on when you use power. If your solar would otherwise export a lot at midday, or you run evenings and nights, a battery lets you use more of your own generation. We’ll model solar with and without a battery so you can compare.
Often, yes. We review your current inverter, system size and connection, then recommend a battery that fits. Some setups need extra equipment or a DNO application, which we handle for you.
Options range from chargers for staff and visitors to dedicated fleet charging. We size chargers to your parking, usage patterns and available supply capacity. They can be mounted on walls, posts or solar carports.
Yes. Daytime charging can use solar generation directly, and a battery can store surplus for later. That means vehicles can run on energy you generate yourself rather than power bought from the grid.
We check your existing supply capacity before designing anything. Load management can balance chargers against site demand, and we make the required DNO application. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll explain it clearly upfront.
All three pair solar with a battery. Lulworth Care Home is projected to generate around 33,701 kWh a year, about 20% of demand. St Winifreds is projected at around 52,871 kWh a year, about 22% of demand. Sonya Lodge is projected at around 43,597 kWh a year, about 30% of demand.
You can buy the system outright or finance it, and finance repayments can be covered by the savings. Your proposal compares both options side by side. Capital allowances may apply, so speak to your accountant.
Battery life depends on the product, how often it cycles and how it is managed. Manufacturers set warranties based on years and usage, and we’ll explain the terms for the battery we recommend. Monitoring helps keep it performing well.
Is commercial battery storage worth it for my business?
It depends on when you use power. If your solar would otherwise export a lot at midday, or you run evenings and nights, a battery lets you use more of your own generation. We’ll model solar with and without a battery so you can compare.
Can I add commercial battery storage to existing solar?
Often, yes. We review your current inverter, system size and connection, then recommend a battery that fits. Some setups need extra equipment or a DNO application, which we handle for you.
What business EV charging options are there?
Options range from chargers for staff and visitors to dedicated fleet charging. We size chargers to your parking, usage patterns and available supply capacity. They can be mounted on walls, posts or solar carports.
Can business EV charging run on solar power?
Yes. Daytime charging can use solar generation directly, and a battery can store surplus for later. That means vehicles can run on energy you generate yourself rather than power bought from the grid.
Will storage and chargers overload my electricity supply?
We check your existing supply capacity before designing anything. Load management can balance chargers against site demand, and we make the required DNO application. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll explain it clearly upfront.
