As South African businesses pair solar with storage to ride through load shedding and shave demand charges, decision makers need a clear grasp of battery technology and economics. This course explains how lithium and other battery systems work, how to size them for a specific load profile, and how to weigh backup, arbitrage and demand reduction use cases. Practical sizing exercises use realistic local tariff and outage patterns.
Aimed at facilities and energy managers, plant engineers, finance staff and procurement officers evaluating storage for commercial or industrial premises. Consultants advising business clients on backup power will also benefit.
