Without energy storage, solar energy must be used in real-time, with excess released to the grid. Energy storage saves your unused energy for later, reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and grid energy, and creating a more reliable supply of energy. 

We are staying up to date with energy storage tech developments, especially through RenEnergy Africa that has deployed 9.7MWh of energy storage between May 2022 and April 2023. 2023/2024 requirements from our clients total more than 20MWh. The intellectual property that we have developed in deeply understanding the technology and the application thereof is a substantial differentiator from new entrants into the market. Energy storage may be installed at the same time as your solar panels or retrofitted.

A thorough consultation process will determine the viability of the investment. Typical applications are:

• Stored electricity provides continuous supply as and when needed

• Excess solar energy harvesting, typically during Summer months

• Peak shaving when exceeding maximum demand availability

• Increase internal maximum demand capabilities

• Tariff shifting - depending on your business’s energy tariff, you could draw cheaper energy from the grid at night and save it for use during peak times

• Replacing diesel energy

• Onsite EV charging contributes to employee satisfaction and informs consumer choice
