SSS Industrial Doors Ltd, a specialist manufacturer established in 2006, sought to reduce their substantial electricity costs and enhance their energy sustainability. With a significant annual energy consumption of approximately 31.08 MWh, the company aimed to utilise their existing solar generation more effectively and store excess solar energy to decrease reliance on grid electricity.

To address their energy needs, we designed and installed a comprehensive system consisting of:

• 30 kW/120 kWh Battery Storage System: To store excess solar power generated and trade the Battery by charging the battery at cheaper periods and discharging at peak periods based on a day-ahead signal from the electricity markets.
• 50 kW Solar Installation: To increase the capacity for solar energy generation, complementing their existing setup by working with our solar installation partner.

This system was tailored to seamlessly integrate with the company’s operations, ensuring minimal disruption while maximising energy savings.

‍

• Energy Cost Savings: The installation has led to average monthly savings of £2,239.74 on their electricity bills, demonstrating significant cost efficiency.‍
• Increased Energy Autonomy: With the enhanced ability to store and use solar energy, SSS Industrial Doors has reduced its dependency on grid power, aligning with its sustainability goals.

The project not only reduced operational costs but also supported SSS Industrial Doors Ltd in their commitment to environmental sustainability:

• Improved ROI: by having the BESS in addition to solar it reduced the payback from 8 years to 5 years.
• Sustainability Goals: By optimising the use of renewable energy, the company has taken a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint.

The successful implementation at SSS Industrial Doors Ltd serves as a model for similar industrial applications.
