Backup Power Integration for Commercial Spaces

Reliable power isn’t optional for your business; it’s essential. At BC Solar, we specialize in integrating backup power solutions tailored for commercial properties in Columbus, Ohio. Whether it's to maintain operations during grid outages or to cut peak demand charges, our battery-first designs give you the resilience and cost control your business needs.

Why Commercial Backup Matters

Here’s the reality in Ohio’s commercial energy market:

• Peak demand charges can make up to 70% of your electricity bill.

• Grid outages, even momentary ones, can cause equipment failure or data loss.

• Energy independence adds value, trust, and operational stability to your business.

Our commercial systems are designed to handle these challenges directly.

What We Do Differently

At BC Solar, we don’t tack on batteries as an afterthought. Instead, we build your system around them. Here’s what that means:

1. Peak Demand Shaving (No Solar Needed)

With the right inverter and battery system, we can offset expensive demand spikes. Let’s say your business typically pulls 19 kW from the grid, but when a few machines start, it spikes to 40 kW. Rather than paying for that spike, our batteries cover the difference.

2. Battery-Only or Battery + Solar

We design hybrid systems where your batteries can:

• Be charged from the grid during off-peak hours.

• Or charge from solar during the day for complete grid independence

3. Custom, Scalable Integration

Whether you're running a:

• Bank branch

• Warehouse

• Healthcare facility

• Grocery or retail store

We tailor the battery capacity and configuration to your building and energy profile.

4. UL-Certified, Grid-Compliant Equipment

All systems meet UL 1741 standards and comply with IEEE 1547. That means smooth interconnection with utilities and safe operation even under high load or failure conditions.

What Businesses Are Saying

One recent client added batteries and a Sol-Ark inverter to their system. Their power now stays steady even when the grid blips. They no longer fear downtime or spoiled inventory. It’s peace of mind, engineered.

FAQs

Can I add backup batteries to my existing commercial solar system?
Yes. We retrofit battery storage to many existing systems. We’re agnostic; we build what works for your setup.

Do I need solar panels to use your commercial battery systems?
Not at all. Many clients use our battery+inverter setup strictly for peak demand control or backup power.

What rebates or tax credits are available for commercial solar and battery systems in Ohio?
Most businesses qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Bonus depreciation can also cover over 50% of your system cost in the first year.
