PV System with Storage

A photovoltaic (PV) system with storage combines electricity generation from solar energy with a battery storage system. This means that self-generated electricity can not only be used directly, but also stored temporarily and consumed later.

How a PV system with storage works

A photovoltaic system generates electricity from solar energy during the day. If this electricity is not fully consumed, a battery storage system stores the surplus energy. When demand is higher – for example in the evening hours – the stored electricity can be used again.

Benefits for businesses

By combining a PV system with storage, businesses benefit from several economic effects:

• increased self-consumption optimisation
• reduction of electricity costs
• lower dependence on the electricity market
• the option of peak shaving

Role of the energy management system

An intelligent energy management system controls the energy flows within the company. It automatically decides when electricity is stored, consumed or fed into the grid.

In this way, in addition to self-consumption optimisation, further applications such as load management or the use of dynamic electricity tariffs can be implemented.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a photovoltaic (PV) system with storage?

A PV system with storage combines a photovoltaic system with a battery storage system in order to store self-generated electricity and use it when needed.

Why does it make sense to have storage with a PV system?

A storage system makes it possible to store surplus solar power and use it later, increasing self-consumption and lowering electricity costs.

How does a PV system with storage work?

The PV system generates electricity from solar energy. Surplus electricity is stored in the battery storage system and used again when needed.

What benefits does a PV system with storage offer businesses?

Businesses can reduce their electricity costs, become more independent of the electricity market and significantly increase their self-consumption.

What role does an energy management system play?

An energy management system controls the use of generated, stored and purchased electricity, thereby optimising the cost-effectiveness of the system.
