From Solar to Storage: The Installer’s Route to Unlocking C&I
The growth of commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage presents a significant opportunity for solar installers, but moving from solar into storage brings new technical, commercial and operational challenges.
Through conversations with hundreds of C&I installers during our recent launch, we’ve gained valuable insight into what is helping - and what is holding back - wider adoption of storage.
This session will explore thetools, capabilities and confidence installers need to successfully enter and scale in the C&I storage market, including system design and sizing, building the commercial case, and communicating the value of storage to customers.
We’ll share real-world market insights from installers, highlighting the key barriers they face and the practical steps that can help turn growing demand for storage into a scalable opportunity.
Key takeaways:
- What C&I installers are telling us about their readiness for storage.
- The key barriers to adopting and selling C&I storage.
- The tools and capabilities needed to confidently deliver storage projects.
- How installers can build a compelling commercial case for customers.

Where Is Your Next Opportunity in UK Solar?
Greenfield solar development has become increasingly challenging. Grid constraints, limited substation headroom, planning delays and high premiums for Ready to Build projects are making it harder for developers to deploy capital and hit portfolio targets.
At the same time the UK has a large fleet of legacy operational solar farms. Some of these assets are underperforming, ageing and approaching the point where repowering could unlock significant additional value, at a far lower risk than developing new sites.
Could the next wave of growth in UK solar come not from finding new sites but from finding the right sites in the fleet we have already built?
This session explores the changing UK solar market and the growing opportunity for M&A, repowering and optimisation.
Panel Discussion: WhatsApp Live: Inside the conversations UK solar installers are having, Hosted by Solar Nation

The Money Behind the Meter: Valuing BTM BESS in Great Britain
- GB has some of the highest electricity costs in Europe, making BTM optimisation increasingly important for C&I customers.
- BTM is more complex to value than front-of-meter storage - the economics depend on the load, connection, tariffs, other flex assets onsite and available revenue streams.
- BTM BESS can do more than arbitrage a tariff: it can unlock new revenues and potentially defer costly network reinforcement at the same site changing the charging strategy as required across the year
- P442 and P415 are opening up additional value streams for BTM assets.
- So, what is a BTM battery actually worth?
- We’ve modelled a broad range of BTM projects in Gridcog, across different load profiles and customer archetypes, comparing simple optimisation with full-stack optimisation.
- Results:
- Energy bill savings / indicative IRR
- £/MW/year across different site archetypes
- Value uplift from moving beyond simple tariff/network arbitrage to full-stack optimisation
