Solar and battery storage for manufacturing sites
Two factories can buy the same number of kilowatt-hours and need very different systems. We compare your production shifts with solar generation, then test whether storage earns its place in the design.
Match the system to the production shift
For a single-shift metal workshop, compressors and machine tools may draw most of their power during daylight. A packaging line on a second shift can keep drawing power well after sunset. We model production days, changeovers and shutdown periods separately so the estimate reflects how your plant runs.
Will solar reduce demand charges?
First we check whether your bill includes a demand charge and when the retailer measures it. If your highest measured demand is at evening start-up, extra daytime panels alone may not change that charge. We compare solar alone with a battery sized for the power and duration of the relevant peak.
Plan the connection around production
Tell us which lines can stop, which need a controlled restart and when maintenance windows are available. We identify switchboard work and possible interruptions before scheduling. If backup matters, name the circuits and the run time you need; whole-factory backup is a separate design question.
What your feasibility review needs
A recent electricity bill, interval meter data if available, a shift roster and planned equipment changes give us a useful starting point. We set out estimated grid purchases, demand-charge assumptions, installation scope and exclusions so production and finance teams can assess the same proposal.
