The Solution

Results

“Due to local residents, there are a lot of silent hours and restrictions to adhere to, and this is where the battery came into its own. We could schedule, through the system, that it is at peak charge to run night-time lights, CCTV etc. throughout the silent hours so that we aren’t disturbing neighbours and then the DG can kick in to charge in the morning. Throughout the project, using the battery, we’ve shown really excellent results…and overall we’re really happy.”
