Announcing Our BESS Energy Discharge to Grid System Upgrade


Battery Energy Storage BESS update

We are thrilled to announce a significant product system update to our Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) - the functionality to discharge the AlphaESS system's stored energy directly to the grid. This enhancement is an exciting upgrade to our product range and a leap forward in how end-user customers manage and utilise their renewable energy production and deployment. This feature is now available to customers of the Smile 5 (AL500) and B3 Plus range and will be available across other products in the range at the end of February.

Our discharge-to-grid functionality empowers people to manage their stored energy strategically - aligning energy discharge with import and export tariffs, like Octopus Flux, offering the best rates for consuming and selling your energy while supporting the grid during peak periods. This capability doesn't just maximise energy efficiency; it optimises the potential customer earnings from excess energy.

 

For our distributor and installer network, working with customers, this product system update means AlphaESS stands out in the BESS marketplace, providing tangible financial benefits and making AlphaESS BESS a natural choice for distributors, installers and customers.

 

Our home battery storage solutions range from 3 - 10 kW capacity, which you can explore in more detail here, and our commercial and industrial energy storage solutions deliver 30kW systems, right through to 30+MW energy storage solutions, which you can learn more about by clicking here.

We've produced a step-by-step guide for installers to help you with enabling this function and this can be found by this button.

The AlphaESS Advantage: A Commitment to Excellence and Support

Our partnership with the AlphaESS UK distributor and installer networks drives our commitment to providing effective, safe, affordable energy storage solutions. End-user system customers told installers that being able to discharge to the grid directly from their BESS would significantly add value to the AlphaESS BESS product range - and we listened and acted. This new feature strengthens our position as a market leader in the UK for energy storage and 'energy trade' system solutions. We understand the importance of this advancement, and it's as much about technology as it is about people. That's why we continue to offer comprehensive technical and customer support to our network partners and end users. Whether you need system integration and set-up guidance or have queries about the new feature, our dedicated team is here to assist you.
