Energy Storage Solutions

♻️What is an Energy Storage System?

Energy storage systems are advanced technology solutions that store surplus electricity generated by solar power plants for use during periods of demand. Especially with the transition to hourly net metering, balancing energy production and consumption within the same time interval has become essential; this has transformed energy storage systems into a strategic investment for commercial and industrial facilities.

❓How Do Battery-Integrated Solar Systems Work?

In battery-integrated solar energy systems, excess electricity generated from solar power during daylight hours is transferred to the energy storage unit. Stored energy is then utilized during periods when production is insufficient or consumption increases, meeting the facility’s energy demand. This structure reduces the amount of electricity drawn from the grid and helps optimize energy costs.

✅Who is it Suitable For?

Energy storage systems provide significant advantages particularly for the following businesses:

  • Factories operating during nighttime hours
  • Industrial facilities running 24/7
  • Commercial buildings with high energy consumption
  • Solar investors whose self-consumption ratio has decreased due to hourly net metering
  • Facilities located in areas with frequent or no grid outages
  • Installations built under older regulations using surplus-consumption strategies 

🔋How Is the Right Battery Capacity Determined?

Selecting the correct capacity for energy storage systems should be based on the facility’s hourly consumption profile, existing generation capacity, load curve, and targeted self-consumption ratio. Choosing insufficient or excessively large capacity may negatively affect return on investment. Therefore, system sizing must be determined through proper engineering analysis.

👉What Has Changed with the New Regulation?

With the implementation of hourly net metering in Turkey, surplus energy generated from solar systems can no longer be offset against consumption in different time periods. This directly affects the return-on-investment performance of solar power plant investments, especially for businesses with energy consumption during nighttime hours.

🔋Optimal Energy Management with Energy Storage

Under the hourly net metering system, energy generation and consumption must be balanced within the same time period. Thanks to energy storage systems, excess energy generated during daytime can be stored and used when needed. This enables businesses to optimize energy costs while maximizing overall system efficiency.

Sample Energy Storage Analysis

Efficient Consumption Management with Energy Storage

The chart below illustrates how the facility’s hourly energy demand is met through solar generation and battery support. Thanks to the energy storage system, excess production generated during daytime hours is stored and deployed when needed. As a result, a larger portion of the facility’s consumption is supplied through its own energy resources, while electricity drawn from the grid is minimized.

Total Facility Consumption
Tesisin gün boyunca ihtiyaç duyduğu toplam enerji miktarını ifade eder. Enerji planlamasında temel referans bu tüketim profilidir.
Energy Supplied by Solar + Battery
Güneş enerjisi üretimi ve depolanan enerjinin birlikte kullanılması sayesinde tüketimin önemli bölümü işletmenin kendi enerji altyapısı tarafından karşılanır.
Remaining Energy Drawn from Grid
Batarya desteği devreye alındığında, özellikle üretimin yetersiz kaldığı saatlerde şebekeden çekilen enerji belirgin şekilde azalır ve minimum seviyeye iner.
Higher Self-Consumption
A larger share of generated energy is utilized internally, reducing external dependency.
More Balanced Energy Usage
Stored daytime energy is deployed when needed, creating a more controlled consumption profile.
Lower Grid Dependency
With energy storage, grid consumption is reduced, allowing costs and operational risks to be managed more effectively.
