With high and volatile electricity prices, falling battery costs, and smarter tech, commercial battery storage is more viable than ever - making it a major growth opportunity for UK solar companies.

Yet, despite the rapid rise of commercial solar, battery adoption remains slow.

The biggest challenge? Solar feasibility analysis; installers struggle to present a clear business case backed by robust financial modelling.

To help solar companies tap into the UK battery opportunity, Orkestra’s latest white paper, Commercial Battery Opportunities in the UK: A Strategic Playbook, explores 12,500 scenarios across 28 projects to identify the most profitable strategies.

Our key finding is that adding batteries to commercial solar installs is a massive growth opportunity for solar retailers and installers across the UK, you just need to know where to look.
