How to Choose the Right Solar and Battery System for Your Business
Choosing the ideal solar and battery system for your business can significantly lower operational costs, improve sustainability, and increase energy independence. With expert support from Generating Energy (Genergy), the process is seamless and tailored to your needs. Follow this step-by-step guide to get started.
1. Analyze Your Energy Usage
Understanding your energy consumption is the foundation for designing the right solar and battery system.
Review Energy Bills: Look at your average daily and monthly electricity usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Identify Peak Usage Times: Note high-consumption periods and seasonal trends to optimize system design.
Energy Efficiency Considerations: Genergy can suggest strategies to reduce waste before scaling your solar setup.
2. Evaluate Your Location
Your business’s location plays a key role in system performance. Factors to consider include:
Roof Space: The amount of available space for panel installation.
Sunlight Hours: Average sunlight your location receives daily (Liverpool and Northwest England receive ample solar energy for year-round production).
Shading and Orientation: Genergy performs a detailed site analysis to ensure optimal system placement during your free consultation.
3. Set Your Energy Goals
Define what you want to achieve with your solar and battery system:
Lower Operating Costs: Size your system to offset a significant portion of your energy bills.
Backup Power: A battery can ensure energy continuity during outages, especially for critical operations.
Sustainability Commitments: If reducing your carbon footprint is a priority, opt for a larger system to minimize reliance on fossil fuels.
4. Estimate Solar Panel Requirements
Sizing your solar panel system depends on your energy usage and available sunlight.
Basic Formula: Divide your daily energy consumption by your location’s average daily sunlight hours.
Example: If your business uses 100 kWh/day and you get 5 sunlight hours/day, a 20 kW system may meet your needs.
Refined Calculations: Genergy’s experts will customize recommendations based on your energy patterns, roof space, and future growth potential.
5. Choose the Right Battery Capacity
Determine the battery size required to meet your energy storage needs:
Nighttime Usage: Store excess energy produced during the day for use at night.
Peak Demand Periods: Use stored energy to avoid high electricity rates during peak hours.
Backup Power: Select a battery large enough to power critical systems during outages.
