Commercial Solar + Battery Storage
Integrated Solar and Battery Systems That Generate, Store, and Protect Your Power
Solar generation alone cannot protect your facility during grid outages, nor does it eliminate exposure to evening utility rate spikes when the sun is down. Combining commercial solar and battery storage into a unified energy system solves both problems simultaneously. Your solar array generates power during daylight hours, your battery captures excess production, and stored energy discharges when grid rates peak or when utility power drops — giving your business complete energy flexibility around the clock.
BiG Energy engineers complete solar plus storage solutions for commercial and industrial properties across Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Every system is designed as a fully integrated platform — not a solar project with a battery added later — ensuring your inverters, battery management systems, and grid interconnection work together for maximum efficiency and reliability.
Benefits Of Commercial Solar and Battery Storage
- 24-Hour Energy Coverage: Generate power during the day and draw from storage at night without relying on utility supply.
- Grid Outage Protection: Maintain critical facility operations automatically when municipal grid supply fails.
- Peak Demand Charge Elimination: Discharge stored solar energy during peak utility rate windows to flatten your demand profile.
- Maximized Solar Utilization: Capture excess daytime generation that would otherwise be exported to the grid at low net metering rates.
- Dual Incentive Eligibility: Qualify for the federal ITC on both the solar array and co-located solar battery storage systems.
- Real-Time System Monitoring: Track solar production, battery state of charge, and grid draw through an integrated software dashboard.
- Storm & Outage Resilience: Northeast weather events that disable grid power for days are managed without operational interruption.

Unified Energy Systems for Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural Properties
Commercial Facility Integration
BiG Energy installs solar battery storage systems as unified platforms on commercial office buildings, retail properties, and distribution centers. The system automatically optimizes between solar production, battery storage, and grid supply to minimize your total energy cost on every billing cycle.
Manufacturing & Production Facilities
Production facilities that cannot afford power interruptions benefit most from battery backed solar systems. Solar generation powers daytime operations while storage reserves maintain critical machine circuits and climate systems during evening hours and grid outage events.
Agricultural Operations
Farm facilities need power 24 hours a day for irrigation controls, livestock climate systems, and refrigerated storage. Integrated commercial solar and battery storage provides reliable off-peak power and eliminates utility exposure during harvest-season peak demand periods.
Cold Storage & Food Distribution
Refrigerated warehouses require continuous power to maintain temperature compliance. A combined commercial solar battery backup system provides daytime generation, overnight discharge, and instant failover protection that prevents product loss during extended grid failures.
Healthcare & Emergency Services
Medical offices, urgent care facilities, and emergency service buildings cannot rely on utility supply alone. Solar paired with battery storage provides clean, continuous power that protects sensitive diagnostic equipment and maintains patient care operations.
Ground-Mount Solar + Storage Campuses
Large properties with open land deploy full ground-mount solar arrays alongside outdoor battery enclosures to create an on-site microgrid. BiG Energy's MTSolar ground-mount systems — exclusively distributed in NY, CT, MA, and NJ — integrate seamlessly with commercial storage platforms.
