This happens especially at times when there is a lot of sun or wind, and little consumption. On sunny weekends, solar roofs run at full capacity, but the production hall remains empty and machines lie idle.  <\/p>\n<p>When we produce more electricity than we consume, the grid becomes saturated. Producers then have to pay to still get rid of their surplus electricity. We call this <strong>negative injection pricing<\/strong>. So instead of earning on your green energy, you turn a loss.

That no longer always holds true for PV system owners. If your solar panels continue to produce power at times of negative prices, you will make a <strong>loss<\/strong>. For an average business with a solid area of solar panels, that can add up considerably.   <\/p>\n<p>The math is simple: the more often you produce when there is already a surplus, the less your investment will yield and the longer it will take to recoup. Moreover, it increases the risk that you&#8217;ll even have to pay to inject your power surplus.

When your solar panels produce more than you consume, we send the excess production to the battery. That way you inject minimal power into the grid when you have to pay for it. At the same time, as few kilowatts as possible are lost. You use the stored energy later, when the sun isn&#8217;t shining or electricity is expensive. Maximum self-consumption and no injection costs: win-win.     <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/bnewable.com\/en\/energy-storage\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Our energy storage solutions&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#222527&#8243; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0ADB6D&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0ADB6D&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#E8EFF6&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;25px|25px|25px|25px|true|true&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;||&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#222527&#8243; link_text_color=&#8221;#128471&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#128471&#8243; min_height=&#8221;250px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Energy Management<\/h3>\n<p>Bnewable developed its own <a href=\"https:\/\/bnewable.com\/en\/energy-management\/\">energy management system<\/a>, Voltana.
