Indeed, granular analytics can now help BESS operators make data-informed decisions to extend battery lifetime by up to 20% in some cases, significantly improving ROI.
FOR C&I BUILDINGS Trieste Airport, a major multimodal hub in Northeastern Italy, provides another clear and replicable example of how BESS can help organisations maximise the value of on-site solar. Like many C&I facilities, the airport faced

by renewable energy, with almost a quarter delivered by batteries charged using solar generation. By reducing grid electricity to just 30% of annual consumption, the project demonstrates how pairing renewables with BESS can transform intermittent generation into a reliable source of energy autonomy, reducing energy costs while supporting long-term decarbonisation goals through deep electrification of energy usage.
MAXIMUM RETURNS The growing share of solar energy presents a significant opportunity for today’s C&I buildings, but businesses need the right energy management
