BESS Economic Viability Study
Does a battery pay off? An independent business case for BESS investments, built from your own bills and meter data.
The question
Before committing capital to a BESS project, an owner needs a straight answer: does it pay back, what size makes sense, and what is the maximum turnkey cost the project can support?
This is an economic decision, not just a technical sizing exercise.
What we analyse
We use 12 months of bills and meter data to model the site’s real energy profile. Where solar PV exists or is being considered, we model production and self-consumption; where there is no PV, we focus on tariff arbitrage, peak management and avoided imports.
The model runs a full-year hourly dispatch simulation and estimates NPV, IRR, simple and discounted payback, storage cost, maximum admissible turnkey CAPEX, sensitivity to energy prices, contracted-power optimization and, when relevant, backup sizing.
What you receive
You receive a clear, branded report with the verdict on the first page, the key assumptions, the scenarios analysed, sensitivity tables and a practical recommendation.
For installers and partners, the report can be prepared as a co-branded deliverable.
Typical delivery is up to 2 working days once the required data is complete.
Honesty as the product
If the battery does not pay back over its lifetime, the report says so clearly. The goal is not to build a sales case for a battery. The goal is to support a defensible investment decision.
How it relates to our other work
This study uses the same simulation and optimization logic behind our Solar and Storage Optimization work. When a system is installed and operating, the same analytical foundation can feed into VoltIQ for ongoing control and optimization.
