CloseCooper Renewables made everything so easy—from install to aftercare. Would recommend to anyone switching to solar.
It’s a scalable energy system for commercial and industrial sites that stores electricity for later use — reducing peak demand charges, providing backup power, and helping you optimise against time-of-use tariffs.
By charging off-peak (cheap) and discharging at peak (expensive), shaving demand spikes, and capturing surplus on-site generation (e.g., solar) instead of exporting it at low rates.
Yes. Systems can be AC-coupled, DC-coupled, or hybrid to work with existing PV arrays and to support EV charging bays, even during site peaks.
Sizing depends on your load profile, tariff structure, peak demand, and any backup requirement. We analyse interval data (e.g., half-hourly) to recommend power (kW) and energy (kWh) that deliver the best return.
If specified with backup/EPS or microgrid capability, the system can keep priority loads running and switch over rapidly to minimise disruption.
That depends on the hardware and configuration. Many commercial systems can switch in milliseconds for protected circuits; we’ll confirm based on your critical loads.
C&I storage includes multi-level protections (cell/module/cabinet), thermal management, fire detection/suppression options, and remote diagnostics. Installations adhere to relevant UK standards and DNO requirements.
Cabinets suit plant rooms and internal spaces; containerised units work well in yards or depots. We’ll assess ventilation, access, clearances, and environmental conditions.
Maximise generation and storage with proactive care.
Visual inspection of modules, mounting, cabling, MC4s and earthing; check for shading, soiling and water ingress.
Electrical tests: DC insulation resistance, string Voc/Isc checks, AC supply verification, surge/isolator condition.
Inverter diagnostics: error logs, firmware updates, cooling pathways, fan/heat-sink cleaning.
Battery health: state-of-health/state-of-charge checks, cell balance review, capacity verification, thermal management.
Monitoring & optimisation: portal set-up, alerts, tariff-based charge/discharge scheduling, export-limit checks.
Optional: panel cleaning, I-V curve tracing with report, performance ratio review.
