Turbo Energy says 62.5 MWh of battery storage is in normal commercial operation at three industrial sites in Spain - ECO Porcelánico, Compacglass and TAU Porcelánico - next to 34 MWp of operating solar. They are the first three of 10 factories in a $53 million contract for 366 MWh, part of ceramic group Pamesa's net zero program. No savings figure is published.
Ausgrid's Community Power Network trial offers commercial roof owners in Botany-Mascot and Charmhaven 16-year contracts for surplus solar, priced by reverse auction. Ausgrid thinks about 8c/kWh could work, against the 2 to 3 cents most business exports earn now. Up to 70 MW of extra rooftop solar and 130 MWh of community batteries. Ausgrid says its shareholders, not customers, carry the risk.
Energy Bay signed a deal with Centuria Capital Group to lease roof space and run embedded networks across up to 240 office, industrial, retail and healthcare properties for 30 years. Energy Bay says it will spend about $430 million of its own money over seven years on roughly 70 MW of solar and 300 MWh of batteries. Centuria and its tenants put in no capital. Tenants choose whether to buy the power.
From 6 October 2026 SEAI's Non-Domestic Microgeneration Grant pays 45% of eligible solar PV costs for a nine-month window, up from about 23%. SEAI's estimate for an average installation: about €12,000 a year saved, for about 1,250 businesses. The grant pays toward the solar. There is no separate business battery grant in it.
