A power outage at the wrong moment can cost your business thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pesos: stopped production lines, spoiled products, lost data, and unhappy customers. In regions like the Yucatán Peninsula and the Bajío, where outages are increasingly frequent, electrical continuity is no longer a luxury — it has become an operational necessity.
What is a BESS?
A BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is a lithium battery energy storage system that stores electricity and releases it automatically when the grid fails or whenever it is most advantageous to use it. It can be charged with your solar panels or from the grid during low-rate hours.
Three ways a BESS protects you and saves you money
- Outage backup: when the power goes out, the system kicks in within milliseconds and your critical processes keep running without interruption.
- Peak shaving: it reduces the maximum-demand charges on your bill from CFE (Mexico's federal electricity utility), which are often among the most expensive line items for a business.
- Load shifting: it stores cheap energy (solar or off-peak) to use during peak hours, when the rate is highest.
What kinds of businesses benefit most?
A BESS delivers the greatest value in operations where an outage translates into immediate losses: manufacturing, hotels, data centers, hospitals, shopping centers, and industrial parks. In all of these cases, the backup pays for itself by avoiding a single serious interruption.
BESS + solar panels: the ideal combination
When you integrate storage with a photovoltaic system, you use the day's surplus solar energy at night, reduce your dependence on the grid, and protect your equipment from voltage fluctuations. At Sinergic we design comprehensive solutions that combine generation and backup, tailored to your operation.
