Commercial batteries don't manage themselves.
A commercial battery is a serious capex decision. Without active management, most underperform their business case. We're the WA platform that operates commercial battery storage so the investment actually pays back.
A battery on the wall isn't a battery at work.
Most commercial batteries are sized once, programmed for basic self-consumption, and left to it. The maths in the original business case assumed someone would be operating the asset against the live market. In practice, almost no one is.
The result is an asset that paid back on paper but never quite paid back in cash.
Four levers we work, every day.
Cut the peak before it sets the bill.
WA commercial sites pay material demand charges to Western Power. A battery that shaves the peak before it triggers saves money on every invoice. We watch the load profile, forecast the peak, and dispatch the battery before the demand charge sets.
Charge cheap. Discharge expensive.
WA time-of-use tariffs reward sites that charge the battery when energy is cheap and discharge when it's expensive. The windows are narrow and they move. We run the timing.
Earn from the wholesale market.
Eligible commercial sites can participate in the WA wholesale market and earn from system services. We handle the eligibility, the integration, and the dispatch decisions that make participation worth doing.
One asset, one decision.
When solar is generating, the battery decides what to store, what to send to the load, and what to send back. That decision changes every interval. We make it.
Don't have a battery yet? Don't buy one blind.
A commercial battery business case is built on assumptions about dispatch quality, tariff position, and market participation. Most of those assumptions are wrong on the day.
We model the case with the assumptions an operator would make, not the ones a brochure would. Then we tell you whether the capex is worth it on your specific site.
If it is, we help you scope the hardware, work with your preferred installer, and operate the asset from day one. If it isn't, you keep your money.
Why this matters more every quarter.
Network demand charges in WA are restructuring. The reserve capacity charges every commercial site pays are being rebuilt. Time-of-use tariffs are spreading.
The value a managed battery can capture is rising as fast as the cost of doing nothing.
From site review to live operation.
We model the gap.
We look at your last 12 months of consumption, your tariff structure, and any assets already on site. The output is a quantified difference between current performance and active management.
We integrate or scope.
For sites with an existing battery, we integrate with the asset and the existing controls. For sites considering one, we scope the right hardware and work with your preferred installer.
We run the asset.
The platform runs every interval. Demand peaks, tariff windows, market participation, solar interaction. You get a monthly view of what the platform earned, what it saved, and what it decided. No black box.
Questions we get before sites sign up.
Put your battery to work.
Free site review. Whether you have a battery or you're considering one, we'll show you what active management would change. No commitment.
