Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) store electricity for use when it’s most valuable—reducing demand charges, shifting load, and improving energy resilience.
For commercial and institutional properties, storage helps control costs, manage time-of-use rates, and support sustainability goals.
Through SCF’s Energy Storage PPA, you gain the benefits of battery technology—without the upfront investment or maintenance.
- No upfront capital required
- Reduced demand charges and energy costs
- Fixed, predictable energy performance
- Turnkey design and seamless integration
- Long-term monitoring and maintenance
- Improved resilience and backup capability
- Support for ESG and sustainability goals
- Proven value with solar + storage solutions
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) charge during low-demand or low-cost periods and discharge when energy prices spike or when solar generation drops. This process, known as load shifting, allows facilities to reduce peak demand charges and stabilize consumption.
With smart inverters, energy management software, and real-time monitoring, SCF ensures each system performs efficiently, delivering measurable cost savings and enhanced energy reliability.
By integrating energy storage into your facility, you gain greater control over how and when you use power—optimizing both cost and sustainability.

Benefits of Commercial Energy Storage
Every SCF project begins with a comprehensive evaluation to ensure technical feasibility and strong financial performance. Our team analyzes your site conditions, energy usage, and utility tariffs to design a system that meets your goals while maximizing long-term savings. Through advanced modeling and decades of experience, SCF delivers accurate forecasts of system output, cost reduction, and PPA pricing so you can move forward with complete confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can energy storage save my business?
Savings vary by utility and load profile, but most customers see a 10–30% reduction in electricity costs.
Do I need solar to install storage?
No. SCF can deploy standalone battery systems or integrate them with solar and EV charging for greater benefits.
Who maintains the system?
SCF handles all monitoring, maintenance, and warranties for the duration of the PPA.
Can batteries provide backup power?
Yes. Systems can be configured to support critical loads during outages or grid instability.
How long is the installation process?
Most projects are completed in 4–8 months, depending on permitting and interconnection timelines.
What types of batteries does SCF use?
SCF uses high-performance lithium-ion systems with proven reliability, safety, and extended lifecycle performance.
