How Automation Solar EMS Can Save Your Business Money
In today’s energy-conscious world, businesses are constantly looking for ways to cut costs, improve efficiency, and reduce reliance on the grid. One of the most effective solutions? Automation Solar EMS (Energy Management System). This intelligent system optimises solar PV and battery storage, making real-time decisions that maximise savings. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Reduce Energy Costs with Smart Solar Usage
Many businesses generate excess solar power but end up exporting it to the grid at low rates while still buying electricity at higher prices.
✅ Solution: Automation Solar EMS prioritises self-consumption, ensuring your business uses more of its free solar energy before drawing from the grid.
✅ Savings Impact: Lower energy bills by reducing grid reliance.
2️⃣ Intelligent Battery Charging & Discharging
Without an EMS, battery storage systems operate on fixed schedules and miss cost-saving opportunities.
✅ Solution: Automation Solar EMS optimally charges batteries when solar production is high or grid electricity is cheap. It then discharges when electricity prices peak.
✅ Savings Impact: Avoids peak-time tariffs, potentially cutting costs by 30-50%.
3️⃣ Peak Shaving & Load Balancing
Businesses often face high demand charges due to peak energy usage.
✅ Solution: EMS Automation Solar smooths out energy demand by using stored battery power during high-load periods and managing equipment usage.
✅ Savings Impact: Lowers peak demand charges, significantly reducing electricity bills.
4️⃣ Dynamic Tariff Optimisation
With fluctuating energy tariffs, businesses often overpay for electricity at peak times.
✅ Solution: EMS Automation Solar automatically shifts energy usage to lower tariff periods.
✅ Savings Impact: Saves businesses thousands annually by optimising when energy is bought and used.
5️⃣ AI-Driven Forecasting for Smarter Decisions
Energy prices and weather conditions fluctuate daily, making it hard to plan ahead.
✅ Solution: EMS Automation Solar uses AI-driven analytics and weather forecasting to predict solar production and adjust energy use accordingly.
✅ Savings Impact: Avoids unnecessary grid purchases and ensures smart energy planning.
6️⃣ Selling Energy Back to the Grid
Many businesses miss opportunities to sell excess power back to the grid at premium prices.
✅ Solution: EMS Automation Solar identifies peak grid demand periods and exports energy at the most profitable times. It also enables participation in Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).
✅ Savings Impact: Instead of just saving, businesses generate additional revenue from their energy assets.
📊 Real-World Example of EMS Automation Solar Savings
A commercial warehouse with a 100 kW solar PV system and a 200 kWh battery using EMS Automation Solar:
✅ Reduces grid energy use by 40%
✅ Cuts peak demand charges by 30%
✅ Saves up to £10,000 annually in energy costs
✅ Generates additional revenue by selling excess power
