FAQs about commercial storage systems

At what power level does it make sense to use a commercial storage system?

The use of a commercial storage system depends not only on the power consumption, but also on the intended use. For example, if a charging station is installed, a commercial storage system may be cost-effective even if the total electricity consumption is very low. If the storage is to be used for peak shaving, the electricity price needs to be split into an energy cost and a demand cost. This is the case for annual consumption of around 100,000 kWh.

How do I choose the right commercial storage system?

First, installers carry out a needs analysis with the customer. The main purpose of the storage system and any additional requirements must be identified. Secondly, the installer compares different commercial storage systems based on their advantages and disadvantages. Memodo offers further assistance during this phase.

How do commercial storage systems differ from each other?

The core of a storage system is the cell. Different manufacturers use different cell technologies. In addition to the quality of workmanship, the storage systems also differ in terms of performance and features. Manufacturers also offer different service packages.

How efficient are commercial storage systems? Are high conversion losses to be expected?

Commercial storage systems are AC coupled storage systems. The efficiency levels can be compared with corresponding home storage systems. The efficiency levels are well above 90%.

What must be considered during the installation?

All of our manufacturers require you to attend an on-site workshop prior to installation. Alternatively, many manufacturers also offer an installation service.

Which tools are available to plan a commercial storage system?

Manufacturer specific design tools are available. We are happy to help you with the tool.

The energy produced by your own photovoltaic system is temporarily stored in a commercial storage system, increasing your self-consumption and making the energy supply affordable, especially when electricity prices are rising. If the photovoltaic system produces more energy than you use, it can be used in the evening, for example.

This results in:

• Increased self-consumption
• Affordable energy supply
• More self-sufficiency

An interesting option for the farmers who support the use of renewable energy sources and enterprises that want to contribute to environmental protection

Whenever additional machines with high power requirements are switched on, they can significantly increase the electricity prices. A commercial storage system provides additional power and reduces high peak loads.

This results in:

• Affordable energy supply
• More self-sufficiency

An interesting option for industrial enterprises, especially manufacturing and energy-intensive enterprises, and municipal enterprises

Normal grid power is not enough to run electric charging stations, expand production capacity or grow a business. A commercial storage system provides the power you need, without the need to purchase expensive additional grid connection power.

This ensures:

• Cost savings
• Faster and easier provision of charging infrastructure

An interesting option for car parks, EV- charging parks, hotels, supermarkets or manufacturing industry.

In the event of a grid failure, the energy storage system continues to supply power to essential electrical systems by disconnecting from the (partial) grid and providing a back-up power supply.

This results in:

• Independent energy supply
• Reduction of insurance premiums

An interesting option for milking robots or ventilation systems in the agriculture sector and for critical components in the commercial and industrial sectors.

Photovoltaic systems combined with commercial storage systems are very cost effective for the residential sector. Through landlord-tenant power supply models, tenants and owners can invest in a shared system and benefit from shared investment costs and combined self-consumption.

Everyone benefits from:

• High returns
• Short amortization

These concepts are interesting in both new and existing constructions for property owners, property developers and homeowners’ associations.

What makes a good commercial storage system?

1. Intelligent energy management system tailored to customer needs
2. Professional service from the manufacturerin terms of installation, maintenance and workshops.
3. Long-term manufacturer warranties and prevention through e.g. security and service concepts and cloud monitoring
4. Excellent product quality of the system, especially the cells, combined with high efficiency and low standby losses.>/li>
5. Easy scalability and future expandability of the systems
