Use BESS to store unused solar power
If you’re a facility manager, admin, electrician, or engineer looking for a smarter, more sustainable, and cost-effective way to make the most of your solar system, BESS could be exactly what you need. Instead of letting excess solar go to waste or exporting it at low value, you store it and use it when it matters most, after sunset.
What is a BESS?
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a smart, scalable solution that stores electrical energy, typically in lithium-ion batteries, and delivers it whenever it’s needed. It captures energy from sources like the grid, solar, or wind, and intelligently releases it to power your loads at the right time.
BESS enables a wide range of applications, from reducing electricity bills through time-of-day optimization, to extending solar usage into the night, providing reliable backup (UPS), supporting off-grid operations, and reducing dependence on the grid. It also plays a key role in making energy systems more efficient, resilient, and aligned with the shift toward cleaner power.
How It Works
- During the day, your solar system powers your loads and charges the BESS with excess energy.
- At night,or whenever solar isn’t available,the BESS discharges to run your loads, reducing or eliminating the need for grid power.
Why It Matters
- Maximizes self-consumption of solar energy
- Reduces reliance on grid power at night
- Improves ROI on your solar investment
- Provides backup power alongside daily savings
- Enables more predictable and sustainable energy usage
What's in the BESS
- Lithium-ion battery pack for efficient, long-life storage
- Bi-directional inverter for stable power delivery
- Battery Management System (BMS) for safety and performance
- Solar integration (optional) to store solar energy
- Cooling system (optional) for larger systems
Good to Know
- Especially valuable where net metering benefits are low or capped
- Ideal for homes, villas, and commercial spaces with long daytime & strong solar generation
- System sizing depends on daytime excess and nighttime load
- Can be combined with grid and backup for full flexibility
Don’t let your solar power go unused, Store and use it to get more out of every unit you generate with TurnoVolt BESS.
