๐Ÿ’กย A Critical and Important Question for SMEs: With battery costs ranging from โ‚ฌ300-600 per kWh, investing in the right battery size is crucial. A miscalculated battery could cost you thousands. To determine the optimal size, you have two options: ๐Ÿ™ˆย Seek advice from the seller โœŠย Have it thoroughly calculated with a simulation of our Circular Energy manager. Our simulation tool precisely calculates how much your energy bill would have been last year with different battery sizes. This allows you to fine-tune the size and ensure a high return on your investment for every last kWh invested. Our tool combines the following revenue models:ย  ๐Ÿ”‹ย Maximization of self-consumptionย  ๐Ÿ“‰ย Peak-shaving and day-ahead tradingย  โš–๏ธย Balancing services on the imbalance market Take a look at the results of one such simulation, for an SME with an energy usage of 112 MWh/year and solar installation of 125 kW. - The first 75 kWh would have resulted in a return on investment about 4-5 years! - If we decide to invest another 25 kWh (up to 100 kWh), the additional capacity only pays for itself in 14.5 years. - This gets even worse the larger the battery becomes. The following 25 kWh (up to 125 kWh) additional capacity would have a return of investment of only 17.5 years. It's clear that a battery up to 75 kWh is a realistic investment with a payback period within the 10-year warranty. Beyond 75 kWh, the return is too low to justify any extra investment in this case. Interestingly, different sellers had recommended 100-150 kWh batteries to the SME, with different return on investments. Curious about how much you could save? Let's talk!ย ๐Ÿš€ #EnergyEfficiencyย #BatteryInvestmentย #SMEsย #SustainableEnergyย #ROI #EnergySavings
