Commercial Battery Storage
Control peak costs. Keep your building running.
Commercial battery storage reduces demand spikes, protects against outages, and prepares your facility for electrification -without changing how your team operates.
We design systems for businesses across Washington and Oregon, aligned with your utility rates and real-world usage.
Flatten Demand Spikes
Even if you don’t think you have “big peaks,” your meter may disagree. We check.
Energy is what you use. Demand is how fast you use it. Your bill is usually built from:
Energy (kWh)
The total electricity you consume over time.
Demand (kW)
Your highest spike in usage during the month (often measured in short intervals).
That demand spike can be small in duration but big in cost. It can happen when HVAC ramps, equipment starts, or chargers all hit at once.
When your building starts to peak, the battery discharges for a short window. Your meter sees a lower maximum, and our demand charges decrease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need solar to install battery storage?
No. Storage can stand alone. Solar can improve value when you have usable midday production and a reason to shift it later.
Will storage lower my bill on every rate?
Not always. Storage performs best when your costs are driven by demand spikes or peak pricing. That’s why we model your tariff first.
How much backup power will I get?
That depends on what you choose to back up. We often start with critical loads like controls, network/IT, refrigeration, lighting, and select outlets. Whole-building backup is possible, but it’s a different design.
Can storage help with EV charging?
Yes. If charging pushes your peaks up, storage can cap those peaks and help you grow charging without as many demand surprises.
What data do you need to estimate savings?
A bill is a good start. Interval data makes the estimate stronger. If you don’t have interval data, we’ll tell you how to request it from your utility.
How long does a project take?
It depends on service equipment, permitting, and interconnection (if solar is involved). We’ll give you a realistic schedule after the site review.
What about incentives?
Incentives can apply, but they’re site- and eligibility-specific. We’ll help you identify relevant pathways and coordinate documentation where needed.
