Self-consumption
Shift surplus PV production from midday to evening demand and cut imported energy.
Applications
A battery is only an investment when it is tied to a clear use case. These are the scenarios where our systems deliver the strongest return.
Most projects combine two or three of these strategies in a single control logic.
Shift surplus PV production from midday to evening demand and cut imported energy.
Cap demand peaks to reduce capacity charges and avoid costly grid-connection upgrades.
Charge during low-price periods and discharge in expensive hours, automatically.
Keep critical circuits running through outages with sub-second transfer.
Combine PV, storage and generators into an islandable, self-balancing system.
Frequency response, capacity markets and grid-forming operation for front-of-meter assets.
Business models for residential communities
Same hardware, same community. Different revenue depth depending on aggregation and market access. Blue cells are editable assumptions.
Immediate operational savings
Available from day one: it does not depend on the aggregated network, the aggregator status or the regulatory calendar of Red Eléctrica. This is the base case with no regulatory risk.
This is the base case with no regulatory risk: revenue the community can start collecting in its own bill from day one, without depending on aggregating a battery network or on Red Eléctrica finishing the deployment of its procedures.
Flexibility market participation
Scenario conditioned on three things: (1) aggregating the network until it passes the market threshold (~1 MW), (2) resolution of the company registration as an independent aggregator (in process), and (3) Red Eléctrica completing its operating procedures (PO 3.8 / PO 9.2). No third-party commission: assumes own aggregator.
This is the highest-upside scenario but also the most conditioned: requires an aggregated network (~1 MW), resolution of the aggregator registration (in process) and Red Eléctrica completing its operational deployment. Treat as upside with a pending activation date, not as revenue available from day one.
Integrated revenue strategy
Combines direct savings and flexibility markets in a single view. Scenario: the operator is its own aggregator (registration in process) — aggregated network ~1 MW missing for SRAD and aFRR access.
Two of the four sources (power-capacity reduction and arbitrage, tab 1) are collected from day one, without a network or aggregator. The other two (SRAD and aFRR, tab 2) are much larger in euros, but only arrive if the battery is integrated into an aggregated network that crosses the market threshold (~1 MW) and once the aggregator registration is resolved (in process). No third-party commission because we assume the company operates as its own aggregator. When presenting these figures, always separate "secure income today" from "potential future income, subject to aggregation and market price".
Figures are indicative and depend on the configuration of each community, the local tariff and the regulatory calendar of Red Eléctrica. Treat operational savings as revenue available from day one and flexibility participation as upside subject to aggregation and market access.
Each sector has its own constraints — footprint, availability, grid code and reporting. The configuration follows those constraints, not the other way round.
Homes, villas and residential communities looking to maximise self-consumption, protect against outages and lower their energy bill.
Manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, retail chains and hotels with high demand charges and continuous process loads.
Independent power producers and grid operators requiring capacity firming, renewable time-shifting and ancillary services.
Base stations, edge nodes and technical rooms where footprint is tight and availability is non-negotiable.
Asset owners and operators standardising storage across multiple buildings, with consolidated monitoring and reporting.
Fast-charging sites that must deliver high instantaneous power without reinforcing the grid connection.
| Sector | Recommended platform | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | Residential storage | 5 – 40 kWh |
| Telecom & technical rooms | Desk & rack storage | 15 – 100 kWh |
| Commercial & industrial | Commercial & industrial | 215 kWh – 5 MWh |
| EV charging hubs | Commercial & industrial | 215 – 840 kWh |
| Real estate portfolios | Rack + commercial combined | 50 kWh – 2 MWh |
| Utility-scale plants | Utility-scale blocks | 5 MWh and above |
Indicative figures. The final configuration is defined after a technical assessment.
Share your use case and constraints and we will identify the configuration that fits best.
