BESS - Battery Energy Storage Systems

Rechargeable energy storage for on-demand power, while off-grid.

What is a Battery Energy Storage System?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are integral parts of off-grid power systems, allowing you to store and use renewable energy. You can also store energy generated by a traditional diesel genset if needed.

Also known simply as battery storage, or energy storage systems, BESS is essentially a group of batteries used to store electrical energy for when it is needed most. They allow users to make more efficient use of energy generation, and can be scaled to provide reliable backup for larger operations if required.

The Benefits of using BESS

This battery storage technology makes it possible for even larger scale businesses, like industrial operations, mining, or agricultural projects, to achieve energy independence from the grid.

The appeal of converting to off-grid solutions in the first place is to increase energy security. Using solar panels alone can save money on electricity bills, but integrating a battery energy storage system removes the biggest limitation of solar generation: Using solar energy when the sun is not shining. Battery systems provide backup power from renewable energy sources.

Cost Savings

Staying connected to the main grid can be expensive in remote areas. Even in metropolitan areas, energy bills have been on the rise for years.

Using battery storage systems to hold solar power generated on site can significantly reduce these costs, by removing grid dependency and reducing reliance on combustible fuels as a backup power source.

Environmental Benefits

Economic motivations aside, installing a battery energy storage system alongside solar generation helps reduce consumption of non-sustainable fuel sources such as coal (from on-grid power) and fossil fuels (from diesel gensets).

Building Resilience

There are many reasons why the traditional power grid might fail, and it rarely happens at a convenient time for business operations:

Bushfires
Extreme heat
Storms or other damaging forces
Maintenance

By becoming energy independent, you can eliminate the risk of grid failure. BESS can be installed in even the most remote areas for flexible and reliable release of generated energy, regardless of what is happening elsewhere.

Reviews & Testimonials

"We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Jason Fisher at Statewide Power. It's nice to finally find a Tradie that rolls up when he says and get the job done. The best part we find being remote, is that if we have a problem, he can 99% of the time, fix it over the phone and is always available to answer questions or queries. Would 110% recommend Statewide power."

"Jason Fisher of Statewide Power came recommended to us by our neighbour.. ..He was very prompt in both responding to our needs and arranging the installation of our new off-grid 10kw solar /15kwh battery power system as soon as it was available. His team is very courteous and efficient and we are now benefiting from a superior system. We highly recommend Statewide Power to anyone contemplating a new or upgraded renewable power system..."

"Jason and his team installed a full off grid solar and battery system at my farm to power the house and shed. They only use the highest quality products with 10 year guarantee. They were punctual to the minute, happy to camp overnight and worked from dawn to dusk to complete the job in a neat and timely manner."

Big thank you to Jason at Statewide Power! For all previous RedFlow Battery Users ... RedFlow company went bust causing my off-grid power system to fail so I needed help fast to replace my flow batteries with an effective solution. Jason and Jeremy at Statewide Power were able to do the conversion quickly. I now have an effective and efficient system, working better than it ever did previously ... makes my Victron system (coupled with LFP Batteries) run like a Lithium Lamborghini compared to the Redflow bus ... I can wholeheartedly recommend you talk to Jason at Statewide Power ... Regards Geoff
