Take control: energy freedom in a changing world.
The energy landscape is becoming increasingly complex. Electrification, volatile prices, grid constraints and the rapid rise of renewable generation require businesses to take control of their energy strategy.
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) gives companies exactly that control. By storing excess solar production and using it when it matters most, BESS helps reduce costs, avoid penalties, increase energy independence and support decarbonisation goals.
At Equans we deliver turnkey solar & storage solutions integrating PV generation, high performance batteries and smart Energy Management Systems (EMS). With our inhouse expertise and end-to-end approach, we ensure your BESS becomes a strategic asset — not just an addon.
Your challenges, our starting point
Our solutions in the field of BESS
Enjoy speed of execution, financial stability, strong brand reputation, and credibility.
STORE EXCESS
PV ELECTRICITY
Use surplus generation later in the day to minimise grid consumption, reduce energy bills and optimise self‑consumption. Our curtailment logic and EMS also prevent unwanted feed-in to the grid, thereby protecting your business from fines.
ACTIVATE YOUR
BATTERY VIA EMS
Our EMS activates the battery exactly when needed — during high tariff periods, injection limits, or operational peaks. This ensures your assets operate at maximum efficiency and profitability (ROI).
DATA‑DRIVEN MONITORING
& PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
Digital dashboards, AI-driven monitoring and continuous optimisation ensure performance remains reliable and measurable over time.
TURNKEY PROJECT
DELIVERY
We design, install, commission and maintain your complete system — from solar PV to battery integration.
For who?
We support property managers, facility managers and technical managers who are looking for reliable energy solutions for large sites, efficient project and asset management, and cost-effective, forward-looking investments across a range of sectors:
Discover our decarbonisation approach
Equans leverages a strategic, end-to-end approach offering a range of stand-alone or integrated solutions to make your industry & processes more sustainable and energy-independent. Our approach consists of 3 steps:
-
UNDERSTAND = measure, get insights, evaluate & plan
-
ACT = manage and implement high impact solutions
-
ACCELERATE = scale-up on profitability, maintain long-term efficiency
We ensure the process restarts whenever needed, to allow continuous improvement.
In doing so, we help you maximise your impact across time and operations, while keeping you legally, financially and sustainably aligned.

Frequently asked questions about battery storage systems (BESS)
Do you have any questions about our battery storage systems and related services? We're here to make everything clear and easy to understand.
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?
It increases self-consumption, reduces grid dependence, and avoids costs linked to high or negative market prices.
Yes, we support you in identifying, applying and optimizing all available incentives.
An Energy Management System optimises when you consume, store or sell electricity based on real-time data and market conditions.
Solar requires minimal upkeep; BESS systems require periodic inspections. Equans offers predictive and preventive maintenance.
With the right configuration (islanding), BESS can provide backup power.
Equans performs a technical and economic assessment to determine feasibility.
Most commercial batteries last 10–15 years, depending on usage cycles.
Typically 4–8 years, depending on energy prices, subsidies, and consumption patterns.
