MPV Solar designs and installs commercial battery storage systems across Sydney for warehouses, factories, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, offices and other high-energy-use businesses.
We don’t start with a standard battery package.
We start with your: Electricity usage + interval data + solar generation + peak demand + tariffs + operating hours
This allows MPV Solar to determine whether commercial battery storage makes sense for your business and what size system should be considered.
A commercial battery energy storage system, or BESS, stores electricity so your business can use it when it delivers greater value.
Commercial batteries can help businesses store excess solar, increase solar self-consumption, reduce grid purchases, manage peak demand and support future energy requirements.
The goal isn’t to install the biggest battery. It’s to determine how much stored energy your business can regularly and economically use.
Commercial battery economics are improving as electricity costs, solar exports and energy-management requirements change.
From 1 September 2026, eligible NSW businesses may also access upfront incentives for qualifying commercial battery installations.
Current incentives can provide approximately 20-30% for eligible battery-only projects and 30-40% when eligible new or additional solar is installed with the battery.
The value of a commercial battery depends on when your business uses electricity and when energy is available to charge the battery.
Store Excess Commercial Solar: A battery can store surplus solar electricity generated during the day and make it available later when your business would otherwise purchase electricity from the grid. This can increase commercial solar self-consumption and improve the value of your solar system.

Reduce Peak Demand Charges: A commercial battery can potentially discharge during periods of high electricity demand, reducing the amount of power drawn from the grid. This strategy, known as peak shaving, can be particularly relevant for businesses on demand-based tariffs.

Shift Energy to Higher-Value Times: Commercial batteries can also store energy when electricity is cheaper or excess solar is available and use it during higher-cost periods. The opportunity depends on your tariffs, battery cycling, operating hours and energy profile.
MPV Group provides commercial EV charger installation across Sydney, helping businesses plan electrical infrastructure that supports both their current charging requirements and future EV fleet growth.
Whether you need a single workplace charger or are preparing for multiple fleet vehicles, our commercial electricians can assess your site and help determine a practical charging solution.
Solar and battery storage can work together as one integrated commercial energy system. Solar reduces daytime grid electricity use, while battery storage can capture excess solar for use later.
MPV Solar can compare commercial solar only versus commercial solar + battery to determine which option offers the stronger outcome for your business.
There is no standard commercial battery size. A business may require 50 kWh, 100 kWh, 200 kWh, 500 kWh, 1 MWh or more, depending on its electricity profile.
Battery sizing should consider electricity consumption, interval data, solar generation, exports, peak demand, tariffs and operating hours.
The best battery is not necessarily the largest. It is the battery your business can regularly charge, discharge and use effectively.
Read our Commercial Battery Size guide or explore whether a 100 kWh commercial battery could suit your business.
Warehouses can be strong candidates for commercial solar and battery storage because of their large roof areas and substantial electricity requirements.
Battery storage may be particularly valuable where a warehouse exports excess solar during the day but continues using electricity into the afternoon or evening.
MPV Solar analyses solar generation, exports, operating hours, tariffs and peak demand before recommending battery capacity.
Factories and industrial facilities often have complex electricity profiles created by machinery, refrigeration, cooling, compressed air and production equipment.
Commercial batteries may help with peak-demand management, solar storage, energy shifting and future energy growth.
For these businesses, interval meter data is particularly important because it shows exactly when electricity demand peaks.
MPV Solar can assess battery storage for warehouses, factories, logistics facilities, cold storage, offices, retail sites, workshops and multi-tenant commercial properties.
The strongest opportunities are usually found where businesses have high electricity consumption, excess solar generation, significant peak demand or extended operating hours.
Eligible NSW businesses can now access incentives for qualifying commercial battery installations. Current NSW guidance indicates approximately: 20–30% discount for eligible battery-only installations and 30–40% when eligible new or additional solar is installed with the battery.
The incentive should support the business case, not determine the battery size.
MPV Solar recommends analysing your energy usage first, selecting the appropriate battery capacity and then applying available incentives.

There is no standard commercial battery payback period.
ROI depends on the battery cost, incentives, solar generation, electricity tariffs, peak demand, operating hours and how regularly the battery can be used.
A correctly sized battery that cycles regularly can produce a very different financial outcome from an oversized system that remains underused.
The right commercial battery starts with understanding your energy data.
MPV Solar can review your: Electricity bills + interval data + solar generation + exports + peak demand + tariffs + operating hours
We can then compare suitable battery capacities and determine whether commercial solar, battery storage or solar + battery provides the strongest opportunity.
A commercial battery isn’t automatically the right investment for every business. MPV Solar can assess your electricity usage, solar generation, exports, tariffs and peak demand to determine whether battery storage stacks up for your site.

Find answers to common questions about commercial battery storage, system sizing, NSW incentives, peak demand management and integrating batteries with commercial solar.
Commercial battery storage allows a business to store electricity generated by solar or sourced from the grid and use that energy later. Batteries may be used to increase solar self-consumption, manage peak demand, shift electricity use and improve energy resilience.
It depends on how your business uses electricity. Battery storage may be more attractive where a business exports significant solar energy, consumes electricity later in the day, experiences peak demand charges or has another valuable opportunity to shift electricity between different periods.
There is no standard size. Commercial battery systems can range from tens of kWh through to hundreds of kWh or several MWh. The right capacity should be based on electricity consumption, interval meter data, solar generation, exports, tariffs, peak demand and operating hours.

Potentially, yes. The existing solar system, inverter architecture, electrical infrastructure, solar exports and site load profile should first be assessed to determine the most appropriate integration strategy.
Potentially. A suitably designed battery can discharge during periods of high demand, helping reduce the amount of electricity being drawn from the grid during those intervals.

Yes. From 1 September 2026, eligible NSW businesses can access an upfront discount for qualifying commercial battery installations. Eligibility and the actual discount depend on the individual project and current scheme requirements.
Current NSW Government guidance indicates eligible discounts of approximately 20% to 30% for battery-only installations and approximately 30% to 40% where an eligible battery is installed together with new or additional solar. Actual discounts vary according to the individual project.
No. A commercial battery can potentially operate without solar and may be used for strategies such as tariff optimisation or peak demand management.
However, solar and battery storage can work particularly well together where excess daytime solar energy can be stored and used later.
Potentially, but backup capability needs to be specifically designed into the battery system. Installing a commercial battery does not automatically mean the entire business will continue operating during an outage.
Potential candidates include warehouses, factories, logistics facilities, offices, retail premises, workshops, cold-storage businesses, commercial properties and other sites with substantial electricity consumption, commercial solar generation or significant peak demand.
