Go solar – commercial battery backup
Energy Resilience for Commercial & Industrial Properties
Power outages are more than an inconvenience—they can interrupt operations, damage equipment, and cost your business time and money. With a commercial battery backup system from Ecotech Solar, your business stays powered, protected, and productive.
Why Battery Backup for Your Business?
01
Keep Operations Running During Outages
Avoid costly shutdowns during grid failures. Battery systems automatically kick in when the power goes out, keeping essential systems online—lighting, servers, HVAC, refrigeration, and more.
02
Protect Sensitive Equipment
Power interruptions and voltage spikes can damage electronics and machinery. A battery system ensures smooth, uninterrupted power to critical loads.
03
Reduce Peak Demand Charges
In addition to backup power, batteries can help manage energy use—storing solar energy during the day and discharging during peak pricing periods to reduce demand charges.
04
Increase Energy Independence
Pairing batteries with solar gives your business greater control over energy production and storage, reducing reliance on the grid and fossil fuels.
How It Works
-
During normal operation, your solar panels charge the battery.
-
When your system generates more power than you need, excess energy is stored for later use.
- During a grid outage, the battery provides seamless backup power—automatically and silently.
