Whether production site, logistics centre or retail space: a correctly sized storage system lowers your grid fees, increases your self-consumption and safeguards critical processes. Centroplan handles the design, installation and operation of your industrial battery storage.

Overview
A battery on its own simply holds energy. Only intelligent control makes it pay off for your business.
Its value emerges from the interplay of suitable hardware and intelligent control. Centroplan sizes your battery storage system based on your actual consumption and connects it to generation and demand via Centroplan Connect.
Hardware
Robust battery storage systems, sized to the power (kW) and capacity (kWh) of your site, modular and built for continuous commercial operation.
Intelligence
The energy management system controls your battery storage in real time: charging when there is surplus, discharging when needed, shaving load peaks automatically and transparently.
Benefits
Store surplus solar power in your battery system and use it yourself instead of feeding it into the grid at a low price.
The battery storage system smooths expensive load peaks (peak shaving) and noticeably reduces your grid fees.
Use stored electricity during the hours when grid power is most expensive. Your battery storage shifts consumption deliberately.
Battery storage bridges critical moments and keeps selected loads running reliably when needed.
With battery storage and your own generation you become less dependent on fluctuating exchange and grid prices.
Modular battery storage grows with you. We plan it to be ready for charging infrastructure, heat and further sector coupling.
Applications
Every load profile is different. These five typical applications show how industrial battery storage brings generation and consumption into balance. The charts are schematic.
Self-generated solar power can be shifted in time and used when it is actually needed on site. Surplus from the photovoltaic system is stored and made available later. The result: self-consumption rises, grid draw falls.
Short, high load peaks determine the demand charge and drive grid fees. The industrial battery storage system covers these peaks from stored energy and reduces the billed peak load.
During the grid operator's peak load windows, drawing power from the grid is particularly expensive. The industrial battery storage system shifts consumption out of these windows, enabling reduced grid fees under section 19 StromNEV.
In the event of a grid outage, the industrial battery storage system bridges the supply of selected loads and keeps critical processes running. This avoids production downtime and protects sensitive equipment.
Electricity prices fluctuate significantly over the course of the day. The industrial battery storage system charges during cheap periods and discharges during expensive ones, opening up additional revenue through marketing on the power markets.
Operation
Centroplan Connect connects your battery storage system with generation and consumption and controls both in real time. That way you get the greatest value out of every stored kilowatt hour.
Automatic charging when there is surplus, discharging when needed
Shave load peaks and keep grid fees in view.
Transparent monitoring of charging, discharging and yield.

FAQ
Commercial battery storage suits companies with significant electricity consumption, load peaks or an existing or planned photovoltaic system. It creates additional flexibility in how electricity is used and supports an economical and stable energy supply at your site.
Commercial battery storage increases your self-consumption, shaves expensive load peaks and makes your energy costs more predictable. Self-generated solar power is then available even when the sun is not shining.
We size the power (kW) and capacity (kWh) of your battery storage system based on your actual load profile, your PV generation and your objectives. This avoids over- or under-sizing.
Yes. Commercial battery storage can usually be retrofitted to an existing PV system. We check the technical conditions at your site and integrate the storage system into your energy management.
Yes. Commercial battery storage can also be used without a photovoltaic system, for example for peak shaving, price optimisation or to safeguard operations. Combining it with a photovoltaic system at a later stage is usually possible.
Centroplan Connect handles the intelligent control of your battery storage system. Operation is continuously adapted to generation, consumption and external conditions so that the storage system is used sensibly and flexibly.
Yes. Commercial battery storage can form part of a Business Energy Sharing concept. It helps to use electricity flexibly and complements the cross-site use of energy.
Yes. We support battery storage projects from analysis through planning and implementation to operation and ongoing control.
Yes. We deliver battery storage solutions for installation both inside buildings and outdoors. The location is chosen depending on site conditions, technical requirements and your preferences.
In a short initial conversation we clarify whether and how commercial battery storage pays off for your business. This first conversation is of course entirely without obligation.
