Commercial battery storage
Commercial battery storage for Greater Manchester businesses
Illustrative imageIn short
How does commercial battery storage save money?
A commercial battery stores cheap or self-generated electricity and releases it during peak-rate periods, captures surplus solar that would otherwise be exported, and can keep critical equipment running in a power cut. Tier 1 Solar sizes business batteries from half-hourly usage data for sites across Greater Manchester.
What storage does for a business
Four ways a battery earns its keep
Peak shaving
More solar, used on site
Smarter energy management
Resilience
Is it right for you?
Storage makes most sense when…
- You have solar (or are planning it) and export a lot at weekends or midday
- You pay significantly more at peak times
- You run refrigeration, heating or machinery around the clock
- Downtime from a power cut would be costly
- You're adding EV charging and want to avoid supply upgrades
Designed from your data
We analyse your half-hourly consumption to size storage precisely, then model the savings before you commit. If the numbers don't add up, we'll tell you.
