Commercial and industrial battery storage helps your business cut peak demand charges, ride through grid outages, and lower its operating costs. Huracan Energy designs and installs commercial energy storage across Melbourne and Victoria — sized to your load, compliant to AS/NZS 5139, and installed end to end by a local team working with SAA-accredited electricians. We handle the grid-connection paperwork and council requirements so you don't have to.
How commercial battery storage cuts your energy costs
Business electricity bills aren't just about how much energy you use — they're heavily shaped by when and how fast you use it. A well-sized battery targets the most expensive parts of your bill:
- Demand (capacity) charges — many commercial tariffs bill you on your highest power draw in a period, not just total consumption. Discharging the battery during those short spikes (“peak shaving”) flattens your demand peaks and can meaningfully reduce this charge.
- Time-of-use rates — store cheaper off-peak or surplus solar energy and use it during expensive peak windows (“load shifting”).
- Solar self-consumption — capture solar your site would otherwise export for a low feed-in tariff, and use it on site instead.
For sites with large midday loads, refrigeration, machinery, or sharp demand peaks, those savings compound — and they sit on top of the resilience benefit below.
The system we install: Dyness Stack 100
Our commercial systems are built around the Dyness Stack 100 — a modular, scalable lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) storage system engineered for Australian commercial and industrial sites. It scales by adding towers, so the system grows with your load rather than locking you into a fixed size.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| System | Dyness Stack 100 |
| Chemistry | LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) |
| Capacity per tower | 51.2 kWh |
| Scalable to | 150 kWh+ (multiple towers) |
| Max current | 100 A (1C rate) |
| Warranty | 10 years / unlimited cycles |
| Standard | AS/NZS 5139 compliant |
Demand charge reduction & peak shaving
If your business is on a demand-based tariff, a handful of short, high-power moments each month can set a charge you then pay across the whole billing period. Battery storage discharges into those peaks automatically, shaving the spikes that drive the charge. The bigger and spikier your load profile, the more there is to gain — which is why we start by looking at your actual usage data before recommending a system size.
Keep operating when the grid goes down
For many businesses the cost of downtime — spoiled stock, halted production, lost trade, idle staff — dwarfs the energy bill. With backup configured, your battery keeps critical loads running through a grid outage: refrigeration, essential equipment, security, and lighting. It's energy resilience as well as energy savings.
We handle grid connection and council approvals
Commercial installs come with paperwork — network grid-connection applications, three-phase considerations, and often local council requirements. We manage that process end to end, so the project lands without you chasing approvals. Site assessment, installation, connection, and commissioning are all handled by our team.
Sized to your site
We design systems for a range of commercial and industrial settings:
- Warehouses and factories
- Offices and retail
- Industrial and manufacturing
- Multi-tenancy and custom sites — scaled to load
Rather than selling a fixed package, we size the system to your demand profile and goals — whether that's maximum demand-charge reduction, backup resilience, or both.
Fully installed by a local Victorian team
Every commercial job is handled end to end by our Melbourne-based team working with SAA-accredited electricians. We're a registered Victorian electrical contractor (REC-37166) and a NETCC Approved Seller, and every system is compliant with Australian Standard AS/NZS 5139. You deal directly with Rhys and the team — no call centres, no overseas support lines — before and after commissioning.
Frequently asked questions
How much can a battery reduce our demand charges?
It depends on your tariff structure and how peaky your load profile is — a site with sharp, short demand spikes typically has more to gain than one with a flat, steady draw. We review your actual usage data and tariff before recommending a system, so the numbers are based on your site rather than a generic estimate.
Can the system scale as our business grows?
Yes. The Dyness Stack 100 is modular — capacity is added by stacking towers, from 51.2 kWh per tower up to 150 kWh+ — so you can start sized to today's load and expand later.
Do you handle the grid connection and council paperwork?
Yes — we manage the network grid-connection application, three-phase requirements, and any council requirements end to end, alongside installation and commissioning.
Will it keep our business running in a blackout?
With backup configured, the system keeps critical loads running through an outage. Exactly what's backed up depends on your system size and which circuits matter most — we design that with you.
