Solar optimization at an agricultural solar farm in Overijssel

A farm with its own solar farm wanted greater control over how it utilized its generated power. Due to a lack of management, solar energy was often fed back into the grid at low rates. Thanks to the BOLT-40 battery and real-time forecasting software, the farm is now maximizing returns from both solar power and energy trading.

These are the results so far

  • Solar energy stored and managed locally
  • Expected annual revenue of €15,000 to €20,000
  • Trading on the EPEX and imbalance markets
  • Structural increase in revenue

Here's how the process went

1

INSIGHT INTO CONSUMPTION

We analyzed when the solar panels generate electricity and how this relates to energy consumption.

  • Clear data as a foundation
2

SIMULATION & RETURN ANALYSIS

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

Through the app, customers can now see in real time how much energy is being stored, saved, and generated.

  • Full control and a new source of revenue

We resolved these issues for the customer

At this agricultural business, solar power was consistently fed back into the grid at low rates. There was no management or oversight.

Together, the BOLT-40 and the BBox software now enable smart deployment and increase the revenue per kWh generated.

Customer review

“Our solar panels are really bringing in money now, even on cloudy days.”

Agricultural solar farm

ELECTRICITY IS SOLD BACK AT LOW RATES

Without battery storage, solar power was routinely sold to the grid, regardless of the market price. The BOLT-40 now makes it possible to temporarily store that power.

NO USE OF FORECASTING OR CONTROL

The solar farm was operating without monitoring or optimization. With the BBox, the system is now controlled based on data and market forecasts.

DEFERRED REVENUE IS NOW BEING RECOGNIZED

The solar power plant was unable to respond to price fluctuations. By actively participating in the imbalance and EPEX markets, the plant now consistently generates additional revenue.

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.
