GridSolarBoost
Solar combined with battery-based cost optimisation through tariff shifting
Grid-tied Solar System with Battery Storage
GridSolar Boost combines a grid-tied solar system with battery storage designed specifically for energy arbitrage. The battery charges during low-cost periods and discharges during high-tariff peak times.
Key Capabilities
| Key Capabilities | Daytime savings, peak shaving, energy arbitrage |
| Storage / Backup | Storage included, no backup power |
| Cost Level | Medium |
| Payback Period | Moderate |
| Ideal For | Sites on time-of-use tariffs with high peak costs |
What it is?
- Maximises cost savings by reducing peak grid reliance
- Energy arbitrage through strategic battery charging
- Not intended for backup — optimised for financial performance
- Right-sized system keeps costs and complexity low
Who should consider it?
- Businesses with high electricity bills
- Sites on time-of-use tariffs with expensive peak rates
- Clients seeking greater savings than solar alone
- Operations that do not require backup power
Limitations
- No backup power during grid outages
Key Differentiator
GridSolar Boost systems don't need to carry full facility loads like backup systems, making them more cost-effective with smaller inverters, fewer batteries, and simpler installation.
How It Works: Energy Arbitrage
Strategic battery charging and discharging to minimise your electricity costs
Morning (Off-peak)
Battery charges from grid at low rates
Midday
Solar powers facility + charges battery
Peak Hours
Battery discharges, avoiding expensive grid electricity
Evening
Return to grid or battery depending on tariff
Why GridSolar Boost?
Tariff Optimization
Avoid peak electricity rates through strategic battery use
Enhanced Savings
Greater cost reduction than solar alone
Scalable Design
Right-sized for financial performance, not backup requirements
