Store surplus solar generation
Where solar output exceeds demand at certain times, storage may allow part of that generation to be retained for use later rather than immediately exported.
Commercial & industrial battery storage · UK-wide
Commercial battery storage designed around your business.
Store electricity when it makes sense. Use it when your site needs it.
NS Booth designs commercial and industrial battery storage around electricity consumption, operating hours, existing or proposed solar generation and the electrical infrastructure of the premises.

Storage with a purpose
Start with the site's energy profile.
A commercial battery should solve a defined energy requirement. We assess when the site consumes electricity, whether solar generation creates usable surplus, available tariff opportunities and the electrical capacity of the premises before storage is specified.

How storage can fit
Different sites need batteries for different reasons.
Shift electricity use
Where tariffs and operating patterns support it, batteries can help shift some imported electricity between different periods of the day.
Plan for future demand
EV charging, electrified processes and site expansion can change the load profile. Future requirements should be considered before storage capacity is selected.
Storage planned as part of the wider electrical system.
From data to design
Battery capacity should follow the requirement—not lead it.
The first question is not simply how large a battery will fit. A useful design starts with what the business is trying to achieve and the electricity profile of the site.
-
Understand consumption
Review bills, interval data where available, operating hours, peak demand and planned changes to the site.
-
Understand generation
Where solar PV exists or is proposed, compare expected generation with the periods when the site consumes electricity.
-
Specify useful storage
Determine whether storage has a practical role and size the system around realistic charging and discharge opportunities.
Solar + storage
Planning commercial solar PV and battery storage together.
For sites considering both technologies, we can assess generation and storage as one project. Daytime electricity demand, available roof or ground space and expected surplus generation all influence whether battery storage strengthens the overall system.

The supporting electrical infrastructure matters.
NS Booth approaches battery storage as part of the site's wider electrical installation. Distribution equipment, supply capacity, cable routes, installation space and operational constraints are considered alongside the renewable technology.

Commercial battery storage FAQs
Key considerations before investing in business energy storage.
Does a commercial battery need solar panels?
No. Battery storage can potentially be considered independently of solar generation. The value of doing so depends on the site's electricity profile, tariff arrangements and what the battery is intended to achieve.
How is a commercial battery system sized?
Useful capacity depends on consumption data, available charging opportunities, solar surplus where applicable, operating hours and the amount of stored electricity the business can realistically use.
Can battery storage be added to existing commercial solar PV?
Potentially. The existing solar installation, inverter arrangement, generation profile and electrical infrastructure should be assessed before a storage solution is specified.
Do you install commercial battery storage outside Warwickshire?
Yes. NS Booth undertakes commercial and industrial renewable energy projects across the UK, subject to project scope and site requirements.
