Solar storage at a pig farm in Gelderland

A pig farmer in the eastern part of the country was facing a familiar problem: solar panels on the roof, but hardly any return on investment. Without smart management or storage, a large portion of the generated energy was being wasted. By installing a BOLT-215 battery in combination with our BBox software, the customer is now getting the most out of every kWh generated.

These are the results so far

  • Get more energy from the same solar panels
  • Expected annual revenue of €15,000 to €20,000
  • Battery used for imbalance trading
  • Smart control ensures optimal utilization per kWh

Here's how the process went

1

INSIGHT INTO CONSUMPTION

We tracked the energy generated by the solar panels and energy consumption.

  • Clear data as a foundation
2

INVESTMENT ADVICE

Using our simulation model, we calculated the potential savings and revenue generated by the BOLT-215.

  • Estimated annual value between €15,000 and €20,000
3

INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION

The battery and BBox have been installed and connected to the existing system and solar panels.

  • Smart energy storage without modifying systems
4

REAL-TIME MONITORING

Customers can now see in real time how much is being saved and earned through the app.

  • Full control and a new source of revenue

We resolved these issues for the customer

This pig farmer was getting almost no return on his solar panels. The energy generated was consistently fed back into the grid without generating any revenue, while his own consumption remained untapped.

With our battery storage system and real-time software, he now uses every kWh efficiently at the right time—for maximum efficiency.

Customer review

Before, I had no idea how much energy my solar panels were actually generating. Now I can see exactly how much energy I use, store, or sell. That gives me both control and peace of mind.

SOLAR ENERGY WITHOUT RETURN

The solar panels were barely generating any revenue because the electricity they produced was sold back to the grid at low rates. With the BOLT-215 battery, excess solar power is temporarily stored and only used when the company needs it or when the price is favorable.

NO INSIGHT INTO CONSUMPTION AND YIELD

The business owner had no control over his energy management. Thanks to real-time monitoring via the BBox, he now knows exactly how much energy he consumes, stores, or trades—all visible in a single dashboard.

UPS AND DOWNS LEAD TO LOSSES

The electricity generated was not being used strategically. By actively trading on the imbalance market, the company is now earning additional revenue from peaks in supply and demand—with an expected annual revenue of up to €20,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your question here? Please contact us.

How does battery storage work in combination with solar panels or wind energy?

Our battery stores excess energy locally whenever more energy is generated than is consumed. This energy is then automatically used during periods of higher demand or when market prices are favorable.

Can I make money through energy trading?

Yes. Stored energy can be sold intelligently through the imbalance and EPEX markets. Our software (BBox) automatically manages this process, allowing you to benefit from price fluctuations without having to lift a finger.

How much maintenance does the system require?

Virtually none. Our systems are monitored and controlled remotely. Any necessary maintenance is flagged in advance. This means you get maximum efficiency with minimal effort.
