Commercial battery backup system for a Colorado business
Business Continuity & Energy Storage

When the grid goes down, your business doesn't have to.

Outages cost businesses real money — spoiled inventory, downed point-of-sale systems, idle staff. Commercial battery storage keeps critical operations running and can reduce demand charges the rest of the year.

Why businesses add battery storage

A commercial battery isn't just an outage policy. Sized and programmed correctly, it works every day — shaving demand peaks, storing cheap solar power, and keeping the loads that matter online when the grid fails.

Business Continuity

Keep refrigeration, servers, point-of-sale, security, and other critical loads running through outages — with automatic switchover.

Demand-Charge Management

Many commercial rates bill for your highest usage peaks. A battery can discharge during those peaks to reduce demand charges, depending on your rate structure.

Works standalone or paired with commercial solar — we design around your critical loads and your utility rate.

How we design your storage system

Commercial storage starts with understanding what your business can't afford to lose — then we engineer backwards from there.

01

Critical Load Audit

We identify which circuits keep your business running — refrigeration, IT, life safety — and measure what they actually draw.

02

System Design

We size the battery for your backup duration goals and rate structure, and engineer the switchover and integration.

03

Permits & Utility Approval

Electrical permits, fire-code compliance, and utility interconnection paperwork — all managed by our team.

04

Installation & Testing

Our electricians install the system, test switchover under load, pass inspections, and set up monitoring.

Know exactly what stays on when the grid fails.

We audit your critical loads and design backup power around what your business actually needs — no oversized systems, no guesswork.

What can a commercial battery back up?

That's a sizing decision, not a yes-or-no question. Some businesses back up a handful of critical circuits — walk-in coolers, network equipment, emergency lighting — while others need enough capacity to keep entire operations running for hours.

During the critical load audit we measure what your must-run equipment actually draws, so the system is sized to your real needs instead of a guess.

Do batteries pay for themselves without outages?

They can contribute, depending on your rate structure. Many Colorado commercial rates include demand charges based on your highest usage peaks — a battery programmed to discharge during those peaks can reduce that portion of your bill.

Commercial storage may also qualify for the federal investment tax credit. We model the numbers from your actual bills and recommend reviewing tax specifics with your advisor.
