A commercial storage system can increase a company's energy efficiency while reducing electricity costs. It stores surplus energy and can make it available later when it is needed. This means that businesses need to purchase less energy from the public grid and can use the energy from their own energy storage system instead. GoodWe commercial storage systems are suitable for companies that want to increase their self-consumption with a PV system and an associated battery. During the day, the storage system is charged with surplus PV power. When required or when the sun is no longer shining, it is discharged to the consumers. The Asian company has been active in photovoltaics since 2010 and has already sold over 35 GW in more than 100 countries. GoodWe is one of the leading manufacturers of inverters for the residential and commercial sectors. Since 2021, GoodWe has entered the home storage battery market, and since 2023, the manufacturer has also been active in the commercial storage segment.
Advantages of the GoodWe commercial storage system
GoodWe's commercial storage system has a number of advantages for businesses. It enables maximum self-sufficiency and independence from energy suppliers. Businesses can meet their electricity needs with their own renewable energy and reduce their energy costs. By using a GoodWe commercial storage system, businesses can also reduce their CO2 emissions and contribute to climate protection. Other benefits of a GoodWe commercial storage system include
- Emergency power capable: Selected loads can be integrated into the emergency power circuit via the emergency power output of the hybrid or battery inverter. This ensures stable operating conditions.
- Scalability: Depending on the application, different storage capacities can be selected, allowing you to optimally adapt to the needs of your commercial customers.
- Peak shaving: Peak shaving reduces operating costs.
- Self-consumption: The energy efficient energy storage solution increases the self-consumption of the business, resulting in a reduction in the amount of electricity purchased from the grid.
- Time-of-use: The battery can be charged and discharged at set times via the intelligent control system. In this way, the GoodWe commercial storage system responds optimally to individual conditions.
- Efficient: Thanks to their innovative technology, GoodWe commercial storage systems are efficient and thus enable maximum use of the solar energy generated.
GoodWe commercial battery in combination with a PV system
The GoodWe commercial storage system is combined with a hybrid or battery inverter. This means that it can be integrated into both new and existing PV systems. By storing the excess electricity from the PV system, self-consumption can be maximised. This means that the business draws less electricity from the grid and can therefore reduce its energy costs - reducing the amount of electricity fed into the grid. With a GoodWe commercial storage system, businesses can also use electricity when the sun is not shining.
Warranty conditions for the GoodWe commercial storage system
The following warranty conditions apply to the GoodWe commercial storage system:
- 5 years warranty on the GoodWe commercial storage system (system cabinet & batteries).
- 5 years warranty on the associated hybrid or battery inverter.
The manufacturer also offers a comprehensive range of services:
- Free technical support (by phone and e-mail)
- Free commissioning assistance
- Commercial storage training
Smart Grid: Integration of the GoodWe commercial storage system into the smart grid.
A smart grid is an intelligent electricity network based on digital technologies. A smart grid enables a more efficient, reliable and secure energy supply. It does this by connecting and coordinating different elements of the electricity grid.
For companies using renewable energies such as photovoltaics, the integration of a GoodWe commercial storage system into a smart grid offers many advantages.
- Better control: A smart grid optimises power supply and its use, e.g. by controlling the charging and discharging times of the commercial storage system based on the needs of the business and the power grid.
- Flexibility: By integrating into a smart grid, a GoodWe commercial storage system responds more flexibly to changes in the public grid's power supply. As a result, the commercial storage system operates more reliably and efficiently.
- Grid services: A commercial storage system also provides grid services, such as feeding excess energy into the grid when demand is high. Or it can feed electricity back into the grid when demand is low.
GoodWe commercial storage system in combination with other energy sources
The GoodWe commercial storage system can be used with a variety of energy sources. Alternative, more sustainable energy sources reduce dependency on external energy sources such as the public grid. The most effective energy source will depend on the energy needs of the business, available resources and local conditions.
The most common energy sources of a GoodWe commercial inverter are:
- Photovoltaic (PV) system
- Wind power plant
- Biogas plant
- Grid operator
What is a GoodWe commercial storage system?
A GoodWe commercial storage system is an energy storage system specially designed for use in commercial and industrial applications, i.e. for companies with very high energy requirements. The storage system collects excess energy from renewable energy sources such as solar or wind and stores it for later use.
How does a GoodWe commercial storage system work?
A GoodWe commercial storage system consists of a battery, an inverter and a monitoring system. When the PV system produces electricity, part of it is consumed directly by the company, while the surplus energy is stored in the commercial battery. When the company's energy demand is higher than the PV electricity produced, the GoodWe commercial storage system releases the stored electricity.
What are the advantages of a GoodWe commercial storage system?
The benefits of a GoodWe commercial storage system are better energy security and greater independence from electricity suppliers. A commercial storage system makes more efficient use of renewable energy and reduces a company's electricity costs.
How big should a GoodWe commercial storage system be?
In order to meet every customer requirement, GoodWe offers commercial storage systems in various power classes and dimensions. For example, if the energy demand of the building is high, a large commercial storage system is more suitable than the smaller one.
