Landscape of Battery Storage Systems: Why Your Choice Matters
6. September 2024
In today’s energy landscape, investing in a Battery Storage System (BESS) is more than just selecting a product. It’s about securing your business’s future. With many options, particularly from non-European suppliers, making an informed choice is essential. You want to ensure your investment is safe and your energy needs are met efficiently.
At TESLA Group, we believe choosing a Battery Storage System is a journey. It requires careful thought about key factors that will affect your business long-term. Let’s explore this journey and highlight how to make sure your investment brings lasting value.
Imagine starting a major project with confidence in your financial security. Many businesses face the challenge of committing up to 90% of their payment before delivery. This creates financial strain and risk. At TESLA Group, we reduce that risk by requiring only a 15% deposit. The rest is payable after delivery, aligning payments with project milestones.
But financial flexibility is just the start. Protecting your investment long-term is crucial. Many systems offer short warranties, exposing you to high maintenance costs. Our warranties last up to 20 years and are backed by external insurance. This gives you peace of mind, knowing you’re protected from unexpected expenses.
Warranties are only valuable when they cover a wide range of issues. Unfortunately, many BESS warranties cover only technology replacements, leaving you vulnerable to other costs. At TESLA Group, we provide comprehensive coverage. Our warranties, backed by external insurance, protect your entire operation, not just parts of it.
When choosing a Battery Storage System, consider flexibility too. Many warranties are tied to specific usage patterns, which may not work for your changing business needs. Our degradation warranties adapt to your actual usage, ensuring your system is always protected as your business evolves.
Downtime isn’t just an inconvenience—it threatens your business’s bottom line. Unfortunately, many suppliers don’t offer guarantees for system availability. Our systems are different. We offer up to 98.5% availability, protecting your operations and revenue streams.
Control systems within your BESS dictate how well it integrates with other technologies. Many non-European systems lack robust cybersecurity and customization options. Our in-house software, integrated with the Power Conversion System (PCS) and Battery Management System (BMS), enhances security and adapts to your needs. This keeps your system reliable and secure.
Integration matters more than many realize. Suppliers often treat Energy Management Systems (EMS) as an afterthought, adding extra costs. At TESLA Group, our advanced EMS, featuring AI and predictive functionalities, is included. This makes your system smarter and more adaptive to your energy needs.
Quality and support are essential when choosing a Battery Storage System. Many non-European systems fall short, leading to compliance issues and delays. We avoid these pitfalls by partnering with trusted European brands like Power Electronics and SMA. Your system remains compliant and supported by a strong network.
When it’s time for installation, we don’t leave you on your own. While many suppliers offer minimal supervision, TESLA Group provides full support. We supervise installation and offer complete EPC delivery, ensuring your system is correctly installed and operational from day one.
In the fast-moving energy sector, your BESS needs to adapt and grow with your business. Many systems only offer basic functionalities, limiting your return on investment. Our systems come with advanced features, like market data-based price arbitrage and ancillary services. This unlocks additional income opportunities.
Accuracy in performance measurement is another key area. Some suppliers rely on outdated methods to calculate degradation, leading to inaccurate forecasts. We use real energy usage and state-of-health data, providing precise performance evaluations. This transparency helps you get the most from your investment.
Financing can also be challenging when dealing with non-European suppliers. At TESLA Group, we offer flexible financing options through multiple reputable institutions, ensuring you have the resources to move forward with confidence.
Ultimately, choosing a Battery Storage System is about more than just selecting a product. It’s about partnering with a company that understands your needs and commits to your success. At TESLA Group, we don’t just sell systems. We deliver solutions built to last.
From flexible payment terms to advanced features, we aim to exceed your expectations. As you navigate the complexities of choosing a Battery Storage System, let us guide you toward a sustainable and profitable future.
