The current energy crisis in South Africa, coupled with the decreasing cost for energy storage systems, will see the market for back-up power as a replacement for diesel generation and solar PV hybrid increase.
Very few projects have been installed using a power purchase agreement model where the battery storage solutions are sold as a service. An office block with a very high energy demand and roof space for a 100kWp solar PV system is investigating options for energy independence.
The payback is depends on the size of the storage system. The system size depends on the type of services that need to run during load shedding. In this model the payback period is only based on the solar yield of the system and not any of the stacked benefits that can be extracted from energy storage use cases.
