BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage System – a battery that stores electricity. These systems store electrical energy and release it when needed.
BESS Sizes Overview
| Application | Typical Size | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | 5-15 kWh | Self-consumption, backup |
| Commercial | 50-500 kWh | Peak-shaving, arbitrage |
| Industrial | 1-50 MWh | Grid stabilization |
| Utility-Scale | 100+ MWh | Large storage, frequency regulation |
What is BESS Used For?
- Self-consumption: Store solar power, use it in the evening
- Arbitrage trading: Charge cheap, discharge expensive
- Peak-shaving: Cut load peaks, save on grid fees
- Backup power: Stay powered during outages
- Grid services: Stabilize grid frequency (50 Hz)
ROI: When Does a BESS Pay Off?
With multi-use strategies (self-consumption + arbitrage + peak-shaving), commercial BESS achieve an ROI of 18-24 months.
