A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an advanced technology solution that can store electrical energy in a variety of ways for later use.
Given that energy supply can fluctuate due to weather, power outages or geopolitical reasons, battery systems are essential for achieving a continuous supply of electricity to utilities, businesses and homes. Battery energy storage systems are no longer an afterthought or an add-on, but a critical pillar of any energy strategy, especially one that harnesses renewable solar energy. The sun is a fantastic energy engine, but it has one major limitation: you can’t generate electricity without sunlight. By combining battery energy storage with photovoltaic solutions, batteries can mitigate the intermittency of renewable energy, storing solar energy generated during the day for use at night, ensuring a stable supply of electricity is always available.
