Commercial Battery Storage for Los Angeles Businesses

We plan commercial battery storage around your utility data, solar production, and the loads that matter most. Storage can help support peak demand, use more of your solar energy, and keep selected equipment running during an outage.

  • Peak Demand Support

  • Selected Backup Loads

  • Solar-Plus-Storage

  • Managed From Start to Finish

Why Businesses Choose Soloro for Battery Storage

Commercial storage has to match how the property uses power and which loads truly need support. We plan those details before recommending a system.

Utility Data First

We review usage and demand patterns before sizing storage, so the system matches how the property uses power.

Critical Load Planning

We identify which equipment needs backup before deciding how much storage is practical.

Local Utility Coordination

We plan around LADWP or SCE requirements, permits, inspections, and interconnection steps.

Licensed, Bonded & Insured

A local team with a C-10 Electrical Contractor License handles your project from design to activation.

How We Plan Commercial Battery Storage

The right battery system isn't simply the largest one that fits. We review utility data, demand patterns, solar production, and which loads need support. Then we recommend a storage plan that makes practical sense for the business.

  • Usage Utility data, demand patterns, and operating hours
  • Loads Critical equipment and how long it needs to run
  • Capacity Electrical service, equipment space, and future growth

From Utility Review to Permission to Operate

  1. Usage & Load Review

    We review utility data, demand patterns, solar production, and the loads that need support.

  2. Storage Design

    We size the battery system and plan the electrical design around your goals and available space.

  3. Permits & Interconnection

    We prepare the plans and coordinate permits, inspections, and LADWP or SCE interconnection steps.

  4. Scheduled Installation

    Our licensed crew installs the system on a schedule coordinated with your team to limit disruption.

  5. Inspection & Approval

    We coordinate the required inspections and address any final items before utility approval.

  6. Activation & Handoff

    After approval, we activate the system and show your team how to monitor storage and performance.

Plan Storage as Part of Your Business Energy System

Battery storage works best when it is planned with the rest of the site. We can review rooftop solar, carports, and EV charging alongside storage, so each part supports the way the property uses power.

  • Rooftop Solar

    Produce the solar energy your battery can store for later use.

  • Inverter & Monitoring

    Convert and manage energy between solar, storage, and the building, and follow performance over time.

  • EV Charging

    Plan Level 2 charging with storage to help manage the added load.

  • Carports & Canopies

    Add solar over parking areas when roof space is limited.

Commercial Results

Commercial Battery Storage FAQ

Straight Answers About Commercial Battery Storage

Commercial storage depends on utility data, demand patterns, and which loads need support. These answers cover what property owners and managers ask most before an assessment.

Will battery storage back up my whole business?

Only if the battery and electrical design are sized for it. Many businesses back up critical loads instead, so they start by identifying those loads before deciding how much storage is practical.

How does battery storage help with peak demand?

A battery can supply stored energy during the times the property uses the most power, which can reduce how much is drawn from the grid at those peaks. How much it helps depends on your utility rate and usage pattern.

Do I need solar to add battery storage?

Not always, but storage is often planned with solar so the battery can store solar energy for later use. We review both options against your goals.

Can storage be added to an existing solar system?

Often, yes. We review the existing equipment, electrical design, and available space to see how storage can be added.

How is a commercial battery system sized?

We start with utility data, demand patterns, and the loads that need support, then size the system around those goals and the space available.

Can the system grow later?

Often, yes. Many storage systems can be planned with room to add capacity. If expansion is likely, we account for space and electrical design in the original plan.

Do commercial battery projects require utility approval?

Yes. Most grid-connected storage projects require permitting, inspection, and utility interconnection. The exact process depends on the property location and utility territory.

What should I prepare before a business assessment?

Helpful details include recent utility usage, the property address, a list of equipment that needs backup, electrical plans if available, and details of any existing solar system.

Battery Storage Costs

Understand the Cost Before You Commit

  • Start With Your Utility Data

    Your utility data shows how much power the property uses and when demand peaks. That is the starting point for storage size and cost.

  • See What Drives the Price

    Battery size, electrical design, backup requirements, and interconnection all shape the final price. Your proposal should make those costs clear.

  • Compare Ways to Pay

    Review purchase and financing options side by side, along with incentives that may apply to your project.
