Quick answer
We install commercial battery storage in Hamilton through MCS-certified partners, helping businesses reduce peak-time grid draw, store solar generation, and keep operating through grid interruptions — sized to your load profile and tariff.
What commercial battery storage does
A commercial battery stores electricity — either from your solar array or from the grid during cheaper off-peak periods — and discharges it when your site demand is high. The main commercial benefit is peak shaving: reducing your maximum draw from the grid, which lowers demand and capacity charges on many business tariffs.
A battery also provides resilience. For Hamilton businesses that cannot tolerate a power cut — cold storage, servers, retail tills, manufacturing lines — a battery can hold essential loads until the grid returns or a generator takes over.
Sizing to your load profile
Commercial battery sizing is driven by your half-hourly consumption data, not a rule of thumb. We look at your peak demand, your overnight base load, and the shape of your usage across the day. The battery is then sized to shave the peaks that actually drive your charges.
- Peak shaving to reduce demand and capacity charges
- Solar shifting — store day generation, discharge in the evening
- Off-peak charging on time-of-use tariffs
- Backup power for essential loads
- Three-phase compatibility
Hamilton businesses that benefit most
Sites with high daytime use and a sharp evening peak are the strongest fit — distribution centres, food processing, hospitality, and office buildings with air conditioning. Hamilton's commercial base along the Technology Park and at Palace Grounds and Hamilton Retail Park includes several of these profiles.
