Did you know that half of the world’s energy is lost as waste heat? Industrial processes, manufacturing, and energy production generate vast amounts of heat, much of which is simply discarded through cooling systems. By capturing and storing this excess heat, it can be transformed into a valuable energy source—reducing waste, lowering costs, and improving overall energy efficiency.
Despite efforts to utilize excess heat, a significant amount is still lost—particularly in the 60 to 90°C range. This heat is often overlooked, seen as less valuable, and discarded into the environment through cooling towers, evaporation, or direct discharge into rivers. However, instead of allowing this valuable energy to go to waste, it can be captured, stored, and repurposed to provide sustainable heating.
By integrating Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES), waste heat can be stored underground and retrieved when needed—effectively shifting excess energy from times of surplus to times of demand. This allows industries to retain waste heat from summer operations and use it for heating buildings in winter. Rather than relying on fossil fuel-based heating, companies can tap into their own stored energy, increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.
The potential for waste heat recovery is substantial, and in many cases, the stored energy can fully replace conventional oil or gas heating systems.
For operations with additional heating needs, the system can be enhanced with solar thermal collectors, further improving energy independence. By leveraging waste heat, businesses can stabilize energy costs, reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, and create a more resilient, self-sufficient heating system.
Industrial facilities often experience high energy peaks during the day, driving up demand charges and increasing overall electricity costs. By integrating solar PV and battery storage, businesses can store excess solar energy and use it to cover peak demand, reducing reliance on the grid. This not only cuts energy expenses but also improves energy resilience, ensuring a more stable and cost-efficient power supply.
If you are planning to install solar PV at your industrial facility, our battery’s integrated inverters mean you only need to purchase the panels—reducing upfront costs while gaining the benefits of energy storage. Already have solar? Simply plug in our battery to immediately optimize your energy use, storing excess power for peak demand periods. Plus, if you plan to expand your solar array, our system manages the extra capacity without requiring an expensive grid upgrade, giving your facility greater energy independence and cost control.
