Unlock usable power without grid upgrades
Operate equipment, services and processes without waiting for grid reinforcement.
Reduce generator dependence and disruption

Built for permanent buildings and premises
Commercial-grade systems designed for long-term deployment at fixed sites.
Reliable power for commercial and industrial buildings that can’t rely on the grid alone
Many commercial buildings and premises have a grid connection but not enough usable capacity. Supply is capped, reinforcement is delayed and new equipment or services can’t be added when they’re needed.
Industrial units, workshops, warehouses, estates and rural commercial buildings in this position often rely on generators to bridge the gap. While effective in the short term, generator-only setups introduce fuel cost, noise, maintenance overheads and operational friction that all quickly become baked into day-to-day operations.
EasyGrid from Energy Solutions provides battery energy storage for commercial buildings limited by grid capacity – delivering dependable power now, without waiting for grid upgrades.
Battery-led hybrid power for buildings and premises
EasyGrid ‘plug and play’ battery energy storage systems replace generator-only operation with a scalable battery-led system that supplies power predictably, while generators are used only when required.
Without battery storage, generators run far more than they should. Even at low demand they continue burning fuel, increasing wear, noise and servicing requirements.
EasyGrid systems place battery energy storage at the centre of the setup, capturing output from generators and any existing solar. Power is supplied from stored energy first and generators only run when required, cutting fuel use by up to 50%.
How battery energy storage works for commercial buildings
Each system is designed around how the building actually uses power and integrates with what’s already on site:
Battery storage supplies power to the building as the primary source.
Generators recharge batteries and support peak demand.
Existing solar PV can feed into the system where installed.
Intelligent energy management controls loads automatically.
The result is stable, reliable hybrid or off-grid power for commercial buildings, with significantly reduced generator run-time and greater control over energy use.
Which types of buildings and premises is EasyGrid designed for?
EasyGrid battery energy storage is ideal for fixed commercial buildings where the grid is present but capacity is limited, delayed or capped – and where waiting for reinforcement isn’t an option.
EasyGrid is commonly used in off-grid and on-grid settings including:
Warehouses and storage facilities
Where lighting, handling equipment, refrigeration or extended operating hours push beyond grid limits.
Barns, sheds & remote buildings
Battery storage for remote farm buildings including lighting, ventilation, monitoring and control systems.
Factories and production buildings
Where new production lines or electrified processes can’t wait for grid upgrades.
Estates and multi-building premises
Where several buildings share a limited supply and power needs to be managed centrally.
Rural and semi-rural commercial buildings
Where weak infrastructure or delayed upgrades make generators a long-term necessity.
In all cases, the issue isn’t access to electricity – it’s access to enough electricity, when it’s needed.
Robust hybrid energy technology for factories, warehouses, offices, retail premises and more
EasyGrid systems combine proven technologies designed for demanding, permanent sites:
Lithium battery storage (LiFePO₄) for long life and deep cycling.
High-capacity inverters to run motors, pumps and heavy loads.
Hybrid generator integration with automatic start/stop.
Solar compatibility for farms with existing PV installations.
Remote monitoring for performance and energy visibility.

Battery energy storage for grid-connected buildings with power constraints
Some buildings sit between off-grid and on-grid use cases…
On-Grid power systems
If your premises has a grid connection but struggles with limited capacity, peak demand or supply reliability, on-grid battery energy storage may help unlock usable power without reinforcement.
Solar self-use integration
If your site already has solar PV, battery storage can also improve self-use and reduce reliance on both the grid and generators.
Remote off-grid power systems
If your site has no grid connection at all or operates as a fully remote location, explore our Commercial Off-Grid Power Systems for temporary, mobile and standalone sites.
How we design cost-efficient battery energy storage for buildings and commercial premises
Understand how the building uses power
We assess loads, constraints, existing generators and any solar to design around real operation.
Design a system that fits the site
Battery-led hybrid systems are specified to deliver power efficiently without oversizing.
Deploy and support long-term operation
Once installed, the system runs automatically in the background, with monitoring and support as needs evolve.
How businesses are using sustainable power to cut generator costs and increase capacity
Off-grid power for a farm diversification project
Hadsham Farm required reliable off-grid power to support a working farm that had diversified into a rural wedding venue. With no viable grid connection, Energy Solutions deployed an EasyGrid hybrid system to deliver stable power while reducing generator run-time, fuel use and disruption. The result is dependable off-grid power that supports both agricultural operations and commercial use without compromise.
Battery-led off-grid power for a remote agricultural site
A remote agricultural site in East Yorkshire relied on generators to supply power where grid access was unavailable. Energy Solutions installed an EasyGrid system to manage fluctuating loads more efficiently, cutting generator run-time and improving reliability. The system now delivers quieter, more consistent off-grid power suited to long-term rural operation.
Reducing generator dependence with battery storage
This rural farm site upgraded its existing off-grid power setup to improve efficiency and reliability. By integrating battery storage into the existing generator arrangement, Energy Solutions reduced unnecessary generator use and simplified day-to-day operation. The hybrid system now supplies power more efficiently, supporting agricultural activities without increasing operational complexity.
Don’t let inefficient power hold back your business
When buildings rely on generators because the grid can’t deliver enough capacity, friction builds quickly. Fuel use rises, servicing becomes frequent, noise increases and downtime risk grows. Low-load operation wastes energy while restricting how equipment and systems can be used.
As power demand increases, these issues compound. A battery-led system restores control – reducing generator reliance, simplifying operation and allowing buildings and premises to function as intended.
