Energy Storage Solutions
We can offer numerous options as far as commercial energy storage is concerned. We can provide the correct solar and set up for you depending on your situation and application. Battery systems are fairly simple. Below is the outline of the four different types of storage setups.
The common installation configuration for a photovoltaic (PV) or solar system is a grid-tie. Grid-tie is also called on-grid, grid-tied, utility-interactive, grid inertia, or grid-direct. Photovoltaic (PV) solar systems generate electricity in this application and are routed to loads (the component that uses power i.e. lab climate control and lights), offsetting the utility electrical load of your work. Excess energy can be sold back to the utility in many areas which gives your business a form of income.
Energy storage of our batteries is incorporated by the backup power systems. The utility connection and your PV solar system are used to charge batteries. Your system’s inverter offers constant power to essential loads when utility power fluctuations (brown-outs or outages) happens. Battery power can also offer energy to help while running intermittent heavy loads, thus decreasing operating expenses.
The meaning of self-consumption is that the energy produced by your PV solar system is used by your growth or business. When the cost to purchase electricity is greater than the cost to sell it, the revenue as a result of self-consumption is more than the profit of selling electricity to the grid. The aim is to use 100% of the energy generated by the PV system, offsetting your peak power with the electricity you store in your battery bank.
Off-grid systems are totally detached from the utility grid. This method is usually right to grow’s that are too far from the closest utility transformer. In this configuration, energy is gathered and kept to fulfill all power needs. When solar energy is decreased – more autonomy, capacity for heavy loads, and battery charging is provided due to the addition of a generator.
The inclusion of a PV system can balance the expenses of both fuel and generator maintenance in a situation where a generator is offering prime power in an off-grid location. We are supporters of operating in greenhouse environments that use cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP). CHP is the use of a heat engine or power station to produce electricity and beneficial heat simultaneously.
SUNSYS XTEND ESS
UL 9540 Certified Energy Storage System
It is the correct solution for commercial and industrial applications in combination with photovoltaic (PV) solar systems. Typical solutions are peak shaving, load shifting, and photovoltaic self-consumption with or without an associated Energy Management System (EMS).
Flexibility for Expansion
SUNSYS XTEND ESS allows modular flexibility if you wish to increase your battery storage bank in the future. It is just as you connect two lego blocks together by adding extra SUNSYS PCS² batteries from Socomec. The architecture of the equipment is certified UL 9540, which removes the need for certifications in case of future system expansion.
Compact design
SUNSYS XTEND ESS is made with compact installation, either indoors, or in a weather-tight outdoor enclosure. The complete system comprises of:
- SUNSYS PCS2 bidirectional power converters
- Batteries
- AC distribution cabinet
- String Battery Coupling Panel (SBCP)

SUNSYS PCS² UL Lithium-Ion Battery
Decrease peak consumption and increase PV energy self-consumption
SUNSYS PCS² can restrict the influence of rises in the electricity retail price by:
- providing the load to cut peak demand: peak shaving,
- increasing the PV energy self-consumption
Any PV energy increase is stored in the SUNSYS PCS² battery system. This stored energy is utilized later to supply the load.
