BrightGrid
Your battery can do more than store your solar.
Store excess renewable energy, use it when your site needs it and explore whether your battery could become part of a smarter, more flexible electricity system.

The opportunity
Turn stored energy into flexibility.
Solar generation and electricity demand rarely line up perfectly. A battery creates a bridge between the moment energy is generated and the moment it is actually needed.
That means your battery can potentially do more than simply provide backup or increase solar self-consumption. Depending on the system and commercial arrangement, it can become an active part of your site's energy strategy.
BrightGrid can assess your existing infrastructure, available space, electricity profile and grid connection to determine whether additional storage or flexibility participation makes sense.
Battery architecture
Add storage around the infrastructure you already have.
A battery doesn't necessarily mean starting again. Depending on the architecture, additional storage can potentially be integrated alongside an existing solar and battery system.
System concept
Solar + storage + flexibility
Flexible deployment
Storage can work across different environments.
The right location depends on safety, access, electrical infrastructure, environmental conditions and the purpose of the storage system.
Existing battery systems
Where technically compatible, additional storage can be assessed alongside an existing battery installation.
Solar system upgrades
Capture more of the electricity your solar system generates instead of sending every surplus unit to the grid.
Carports & parking
Suitable accessible areas around carports and parking infrastructure can be considered for additional battery capacity.
Commercial sites
Warehouses, farms, offices and other commercial properties may have space and electricity profiles suited to larger storage systems.
How the system works
Energy moves when it makes sense.
Instead of treating your battery as a static piece of equipment, the system can respond to generation, demand, pricing and, where applicable, flexibility signals.
Generate
Solar produces electricity during available daylight hours.
Store
Surplus energy can be directed into available battery capacity.
Use
Stored energy can later support the property's electricity demand.
Flex
Eligible systems can potentially respond to wider electricity-system requirements.
Create value
Depending on the arrangement, flexibility participation may create an additional revenue stream.
Battery flexibility
One battery. Multiple jobs.
Storage can support your own electricity needs while potentially becoming part of a larger flexibility network.
Store surplus generation
When solar production exceeds immediate demand, available battery capacity can store some of that energy.
Use energy later
Stored electricity can be used when the site needs it, reducing reliance on electricity imported from the grid.
Support the wider grid
Eligible batteries can potentially provide flexibility services that help balance electricity supply and demand.
Explore revenue
Eligible systems may participate in flexibility or energy-market programmes. Revenue depends on the specific programme and agreement.
Commercial energy
Your building can become part of a smarter energy network.
For businesses with solar, substantial electricity demand or suitable infrastructure, battery storage can become another layer of the site's energy strategy.
Explore commercial energyCould your battery earn money?
Potentially. Some batteries can participate in flexibility services where an aggregator or energy provider coordinates their operation in response to market or grid requirements.
Revenue is not guaranteed. Eligibility and payments depend on the flexibility provider, market conditions, technical requirements and contract.
Help build a more flexible energy system.
More flexible storage can make it easier to integrate renewable generation and manage changing electricity demand.
From battery to network
One battery is small. Thousands can become powerful.
Connected batteries across homes, farms, businesses and other sites can collectively provide a much larger flexible energy resource.

Battery suitability
First, we work out whether your site can support it.
Adding batteries isn't simply a question of finding an empty wall. We assess the technical, physical and commercial picture together.
Battery placement and integration are subject to technical, safety, fire, electrical and regulatory requirements.
