For businesses
Battery storage, fully funded.
Solar and battery storage with no capital outlay upfront, but only if the numbers work. You keep every pound of your bill savings and receive a share of the flexibility revenue your site earns.
Do the numbers work?
Every investment decision your business makes comes down to one question: do the numbers work? Energy should be no different.
We start with your numbers, not a sales pitch. If the case isn't there, we'll tell you. And if it is, we'll fund it, and include our Energy Management System.
Our Energy Management System
Every site we work with gets the CSIA Energy Management System. It does two jobs.
It makes the most of your solar and battery
It forecasts your generation and demand and runs the battery to cut your costs, so you use more of your own power and buy less at peak times.
It goes beyond what a battery can do on its own
It earns from grid support services and flexibility trading. That flexibility revenue pays for our service, and you receive a share of it as a reward for making your solar and battery available. You also keep every pound of your bill savings.
What is flexibility?
Flexibility is your site's ability to take less power from the grid at the times it matters most, using your solar, your battery or both.
Since 2024, industry rules (Elexon's P415) have let a licensed trader sell that flexibility in the wholesale electricity market, with no change to your supplier. Most businesses never see that value. Our Energy Management System finds it, verifies it from your meter data and puts it to work, and you receive a share of the revenue.
Three routes

| What's needed | Half-hourly data, a recent bill and your consent | The same, plus battery details | A positive site review |
| New equipment | None | None | Fully funded, no capital outlay upfront |
| Time to go live | Typically within weeks | Typically within weeks | After design, grid approval and installation |
| What you gain | A share of the flexibility revenue, with no cost and nothing to install | A share of the flexibility revenue, plus lower peak-time costs | Lower bills, plus a share of the flexibility revenue |

Common questions
Do I have to change my electricity supplier?
No. Your supplier and supply contract stay exactly as they are.
What does it cost?
The site review is free. Where the numbers work, your battery, or solar and battery, is fully funded with no capital outlay upfront. Our Energy Management System is paid for by flexibility revenue, so you keep every pound of your bill savings and receive a share of that revenue too.
How does my share of the flexibility revenue work?
Your site's flexibility earns revenue from grid support services and flexibility trading. You receive a share of it, paid quarterly for as long as your site is live, as a reward for making your solar and battery available. Your share is set out in your agreement with us.
What information do you need?
Twelve months of half-hourly electricity data and a recent bill. If you already have solar or a battery, we'll also ask for the system details.
Are the savings guaranteed?
No. Savings and revenue figures are estimates based on your data and current market conditions. We show you the assumptions so you can judge the numbers for yourself.
