Battery Energy Storage (BESS) Installation in Cape Town
Store the solar power you generate and use it at night, at peak tariff times or when the grid goes down.
Use your solar after the sun goes down.
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores electricity so you can use it later. Paired with solar, it moves the power your panels make at midday into the evening, when you actually need it and when tariffs are highest. For businesses on time-of-use tariffs, a BESS can also cut peak demand charges by drawing from the battery instead of the grid during expensive hours. We install lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries from brands like LG, GoodWe and Tesla, integrate them with new or existing solar, and set the inverter up to charge, discharge and hold a backup reserve the way your site needs. Systems scale from a single home battery to multi-cabinet commercial banks.
Who it's for
Homes that already have solar, businesses on time-of-use or demand tariffs, and farms or remote sites that need power through the night.

Battery Energy Storage (BESS) questions
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Usually, yes. If your current inverter is a hybrid model we can add batteries directly. If it's grid-tied only, we can add a battery inverter or recommend an upgrade. We check your setup before quoting.
How long do lithium solar batteries last?
Quality LiFePO4 batteries are typically rated for thousands of charge cycles and come with multi-year manufacturer warranties. We'll show you the warranty terms for the exact model we quote.
