BESS
Hybrid Solar and BESS Feasibility
Structure early feasibility for co-located solar and storage across land, grid, operating strategy, controls and commercial interfaces.
Why this workflow matters
Hybrid feasibility is not the sum of separate solar and battery studies. The value and design depend on shared connection constraints, charging rules, controls, clipping capture, export limits and operating strategy.
Questions to answer
- What operating objective does storage serve?
- How is the shared grid limit applied?
- Can the site accommodate both technologies safely?
- Which control and metering interfaces are required?
Recommended workflow
- 1Define use cases, power, duration and connection constraints.
- 2Develop solar and BESS land envelopes with shared infrastructure.
- 3Model representative dispatch and energy flows.
- 4Test technical, consent, revenue and delivery sensitivities.
Evidence to collect
- ✓ Solar resource and generation profile
- ✓ BESS performance and degradation assumptions
- ✓ Grid import/export requirements
- ✓ Land, safety, planning and commercial constraints
Decision-ready outputs
- → Hybrid configuration options
- → Indicative dispatch and energy balance
- → Integrated risk and development plan
