You Don’t Need To

Choosing a commercial battery based only on its advertised capacity can result in an oversized system, an undersized system or poor financial returns.

Solar Secure can assess your:

Electricity consumption

electricity-consumption

Understand how much energy your business uses and when that energy is consumed throughout the day.

Peak-demand profile

peak-demand-profile

Analyse your peak electricity demand and identify when your business places the greatest load on the grid.

Existing solar system

existing-solar-system

Review your existing solar system, generation capacity and how effectively your business is using the energy it produces.

Daytime and evening loads

daytime-loads

Understand how your energy needs change throughout the day, including your daytime and evening electricity usage.

Electricity tariff

electricity-traffic

Review your current electricity tariff and pricing structure to understand how your battery could work with your energy costs.

Available roof & installation space

installation-space

Consider your available roof, ground and installation space to determine what battery configuration could suit your site.

Already Have Commercial Solar?

Store More of the Energy Your Business Already Generates. Instead of exporting excess solar energy during lower-value periods, a correctly designed commercial battery can store energy for use when your business needs it.

reduce-energy-costs

Reduce Energy Costs

Reduce grid electricity consumption, shift energy use away from expensive periods and reduce peak demand.

solar-investment

Maximise Your Solar Investment

Increase utilisation of existing solar generation by storing excess energy for use when your business needs it.

How Much Could Your
Business Save?

Don’t Guess. Model It.

Commercial battery savings can vary significantly between businesses.

A business using most of its electricity during daylight hours can have a very different result from a business with large evening loads or high peak-demand charges.

That's why Solar Secure looks at your actual energy profile.

Want a More Accurate Assessment?

Upload a recent electricity bill and we’ll use it as the starting point for your commercial energy assessment.

Common Questions About BESS4

  • Q: What is BESS4?
    BESS4 is a battery energy storage activity under the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme for eligible small and medium business projects.
  • Q: When did BESS4 begin?
    BESS4 commenced on 1 September 2026.
  • Q: Can I qualify if my business already has solar?
    Potentially, yes. Existing solar doesn't automatically prevent a business from investigating a BESS4 installation. The complete site and system still need to meet applicable requirements.
  • Q: What battery sizes are covered?
    BESS4 generally applies to eligible systems with combined usable battery capacity greater than 20 kWh and up to 200 kWh.
  • Q: Can a residential property claim BESS4?
    BESS4 is intended for eligible non-residential small and medium business installations and does not apply to residential buildings or data centres.
  • Q: What if I don't have solar?
    Speak with Solar Secure. Depending on the site, solar and battery storage can potentially be assessed as part of a complete commercial energy solution.
