Custom Designed Energy Storage.
There is no standard, one-size-fits-all energy storage solution for commercial properties, which is why we engineer tailored systems around your facility’s unique load profile, electrical infrastructure, and operational goals. By analyzing your actual energy usage, we design solutions that lower expensive utility demand charges, shift energy use to avoid peak-rate pricing, maximize on-site solar consumption, and deliver reliable backup power during grid outages. From initial analysis to final installation, we deliver a fully integrated energy storage system built specifically for your property.
Why Choose Solar Energy Storage?
Boost Self-Consumption.
Solar energy storage boosts the use of self-generated solar power. Energy storage systems, or batteries, store surplus solar energy during the day to be utilized when the sun isn’t shining. Self-consumption provides financial benefits to business owners who are connected to utilities that offer wholesale rates for exported solar generation.
Energy Resilience.
Optimize Solar Savings.
Time of use configurations allow energy storage systems to charge during low-rate periods and discharge during the time of day in which the utility charges more for energy. This configuration helps to maximize savings.
Maximize In-Office Use.
Energy Storage Incentives.
Battery storage qualifies for many of the same incentives as commercial solar. Federal tax credits, state rebates, and accelerated depreciation can cut the upfront cost of a storage system, and pairing those savings with lower demand charges speeds up your return. Creative Energies will help you capture the incentives your project qualifies for.

Commercial Energy Storage FAQs
Why would a business add battery storage to its solar system?
Battery storage lets a business bank the solar energy it generates during the day and use it during evening hours, outages, or peak utility pricing periods, instead of sending excess power back to the grid for a smaller credit. It’s a way to get more value out of a solar investment while adding a layer of resilience for daily operations.
What's the difference between battery systems for a commercial building vs residential building?
Commercial ESS requires specific site assessment and design considerations, which is why we work closely with the customer to understand their needs, and select an energy storage solution that best fits the application and stakeholders needs.
Will battery storage keep my business running during a power outage?
Battery storage can keep essential circuits, or in some configurations an entire facility, powered during a grid outage, which matters for businesses that can’t afford downtime, from refrigeration to point-of-sale systems. The right sizing depends on which loads you want backed up and for how long, so we design storage around your operational priorities.
Does adding battery storage qualify for the federal tax credit?
Battery storage paired with solar can qualify for the same federal Investment Tax Credit that applies to the solar system itself, including when storage is added to an existing array. Because tax situations vary by business, we recommend confirming specifics with your tax advisor while we handle the technical qualification requirements on our end.
How much battery capacity does a commercial building need?
Capacity depends on your critical loads, how long you want backup to last, and how much you want to shift energy use away from peak utility rates. We assess your building’s electrical demand and priorities to recommend a battery configuration, whether that’s a single Powerwall or a larger multi-battery Enphase or Fortress installation.
Can battery storage be added to an existing commercial solar system?
In most cases, yes. If your solar array was designed with future expansion in mind, or even if it wasn’t, our team can evaluate your current system and inverter setup to determine the best way to integrate storage without a full system overhaul.
