By storing excess electricity from your solar panels or the grid, you can use that power when it’s needed most- during peak hours, at night, or in times of high demand. The result is greater energy efficiency, lower running costs, and increased independence from the grid.
At Eco Power Innovations, we design and install reliable, high-performance battery systems tailored to your business. With over 15 years’ experience, we help companies across the Central Belt manage energy more efficiently, improve resilience, and strengthen their sustainability credentials.
Commercial battery storage allows your business to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels or purchased from the grid. This stored power can then be used later- reducing your reliance on grid electricity, helping manage peak demand, and cutting energy costs.
When your solar panels or the grid supply more power than your business needs, the extra energy is stored in your battery system. When energy demand increases or grid electricity becomes more expensive, the battery automatically releases that stored energy to power your operations, ensuring efficiency and cost savings around the clock.
Commercial battery systems are available in two main configurations:
Reduce energy costs by using stored power at peak times Lower reliance on the grid and improve energy security Optimise your solar system’s performance Improve efficiency and sustainability across your business Enhance your ESG credentials with a visible commitment to clean energyThe cost of a commercial battery system depends on your energy usage, system size, and installation type.

Lithium-ion battery systems come with a 10-year guarantee. How long they continue to operate after this period depends on usage and charging patterns
Yes! Battery storage is often a beneficial addition to a solar PV system. However, it’s not the right solution for every situation, and this can be discussed during a site survey.
The right size depends on your business’s energy usage, solar system size, and how much power you want to store. During a site survey, we assess your needs and recommend a lithium-ion battery system that balances savings, efficiency, and energy independence for your business.
Yes! With an AC-coupled system, a battery can store electricity from the grid even without solar panels. This allows you to use cheaper off-peak electricity, reduce bills, and maintain energy independence.
In most cases, commercial battery storage doesn’t require planning permission, especially if installed alongside a solar system. However, this can vary depending on your building type or location. We’ll check the requirements during your site survey to ensure your installation is fully compliant.
Commercial battery systems require very little maintenance. It’s a good idea to keep them clean and check for any visible damage. We also monitor all systems remotely, so any issues can be spotted and addressed quickly, ensuring your battery runs efficiently for years.
Yes! Your battery can help you save on energy bills by using stored electricity during peak rates, and in some cases, you can earn income by participating in demand response or export schemes. This maximises the value of your system and helps improve your business’s energy efficiency.
Grant availability depends on your location and circumstances. We can guide you through the options available to help make your battery installation more affordable.
The return on investment and payback period depend on your business’s energy usage, system size, and available incentives. Typically, businesses can expect to see a full return in 5 – 10 years, with continued savings on energy bills and potential income from grid participation or time-of-use charging.
Commercial battery systems are compact and modular, so they don’t require much space. The exact footprint depends on the size of the system you need, but most installations can fit into a small plant room, garage, or outdoor enclosure with minimal disruption.
