Solar panels for businesses

Batteries

Small industrial batteries can be placed indoors. The best place for an industrial battery is a cool, dry room that is well ventilated. It is important to keep the battery out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maximise life and efficiency. Larger industrial batteries are often placed in designated containers close to the high-voltage connection.

When a battery is fully charged and energy is still being produced by your solar panels, the excess energy is injected into the grid. Consult your current energy supplier to find out what you can receive for feed-in to the grid.

The storage time of power in a business battery depends on the capacity of the battery and your energy consumption. On average, a battery can store power for a few days to a week, depending on how intensively you use the stored energy.

The profitability of a battery for business depends on several factors, such as energy prices, subsidies and your own energy consumption. Currently, batteries for businesses are already a good investment, especially if you produce a lot of energy with your solar panels and want to store it for later use. Combined with a dynamic contract and buying and selling energy at the right time, this provides a financial benefit.

Energy parts

Energy sharing can lead to lower energy costs because you can share the energy you produce with others in your community. This can be especially beneficial if you generate more energy than you use yourself.

Energy sharing works by sharing the energy you generate and do not use yourself with other users within the same community. This can be done through a local energy cooperative or through an energy company offering such services.

The cost of energy shares can vary depending on the service provider and the specific terms of the programme. It is important to compare different options to find the best deal.

LED lighting

For industrial sites in Belgium, LED lighting not only offers energy savings and reduced maintenance costs, but also better light quality that is crucial for precision work. LEDs improve working conditions and can increase workplace safety through consistent and controllable lighting options.

Through regional support programmes, such as energy-saving premiums in Flanders, the Belgian government offers financial support to companies investing in energy-efficient lighting such as LEDs. This lowers the threshold for initially higher investment costs.

Belgian companies switching to LED lighting can save up to 80% on their lighting costs, depending on the previous lighting technology. The long lifetime and low energy consumption of LEDs reduce both energy and replacement costs.

LED lighting can have a positive impact on employee productivity by improving light quality and reducing eye fatigue. Better lighting can lead to improved concentration and fewer errors, contributing to a more efficient working environment.

Charging posts

Until the end of August 2024, there is a 150% cost deduction for charging stations. Companies can also enjoy tax breaks for energy-saving investments through increased investment deductions.

Yes, in all cases the cost of installing a charging station is tax deductible. There are supporting measures from the government. This can vary by region and specific regulations, so it is advisable to consult the current tax benefits.

Dynamic energy contracts

Current dynamic energy prices vary daily and even hourly. Prices are set every day at 1pm for the following day. You can usually view these prices via your energy supplier’s app or website.

A dynamic energy contract can be beneficial if you are flexible in your energy consumption and can take advantage of lower tariffs during off-peak hours. However, it is important to consider the possible fluctuations in energy prices.

Dynamic energy prices vary hourly. Prices are fixed every day at 1pm for the following

Since you will be buying and selling power by quarter-hourly value, you need a digital counter to measure this. So with an analogue meter, you cannot yet have a dynamic contract.
