FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need solar panels to benefit from a battery? No. A battery can charge from the grid when electricity is cheap and discharge when it’s expensive. What does a battery do for my business — simply explained?
  • Flattens peaks → lower network tariffs
  • Stores cheap power → use it when prices are high
  • Uses more of your own solar / wind
  • Earns money via energy markets
  • Improves power quality
  • Enables fast charging
  • Backup option
Typical installed range: €150–€350 per kWh ROI: 3–7 years

What subsidies exist?

🇧🇪 Belgium (Flanders)

  • VLAIO support trajectories
  • Strategic Ecology Support (STRES)
  • Investment deduction
  • VLIF for agriculture
  • Vergroeningsscan (85% funded study)

🇩🇪 Germany (Bavaria)

  • Support programmes vary per region and grid operator

We check available subsidies during feasibility and integrate them in the ROI.

How long does an installation take?
On-site installation is typically 2–4 days, depending on size.
Grid study and permitting take several weeks.

How long do the batteries last?
Our LFP systems are designed for ≥10 years and 6,000–7,000 cycles.
We provide a 10-year product warranty.

Will the battery degrade?
Yes, all batteries do.
We monitor State of Health, and can plan augmentation later to maintain performance.

How loud is it?
Comparable to HVAC equipment. Noise and placement can be mitigated if required.

What about backup power?
We can backup critical loads and stabilise voltage/frequency.
Full islanding/UPS mode is possible with the correct inverter setup.

Can a battery help if my grid connection is too small?
Yes. The battery can deliver short bursts of high power, allowing:

  • extra production capacity
  • machine start-ups
  • fleet charging

…without waiting for grid upgrades or paying extra capacity fees.

Can I install DC fast charging without upgrading the grid?
Yes. We integrate DC-DC fast chargers fed from the battery.
This enables high charging power while keeping your grid draw stable.

Is a battery safe?
Yes. Our systems include:

  • liquid or air cooling
  • fire detection & suppression
  • thermal and electrical protections
  • remote monitoring and alarms

All projects comply with Synergrid, AREI, CE and VDE standards.

Can I participate in energy markets?
Yes — where permitted by your grid operator and system size.

Our EMS automates:

  • day-ahead trading
  • intraday optimisation
  • imbalance / onbalans market
  • FCR / FRR balancing services

You earn revenue from:

  • availability fees (€/kW/year)
  • activation revenue (€/MWh)

Will my operations be interrupted?
Only briefly during final electrical connection — we plan this with you.

What information do you need to start?

  • 12–24 months of consumption data (15-min intervals)
  • peak charges & tariffs
  • PV/EV infrastructure (if any)
  • future expansion plans

What is included in the installation?
Engineering, EMS, switchgear, netontkoppelingsbord, cabling, testing, commissioning, documentation and training.

Who controls the battery day-to-day?
Our EMS does. You get a dashboard with live data and reports.

What about maintenance?
We provide:

  • preventive maintenance
  • remote monitoring
  • firmware & EMS updates
  • optional service level agreements (SLA)
