Frequently asked questions

Energy shouldn’t slow down your business. That’s why we help companies gain more control over their energy.

With battery storage, Smart Ass Energy and our technical expertise, we tackle problems such as limited grid capacity, peak loads, power outages or temporary power shortages. You tell us where your energy gets stuck. We find out what’s needed to keep your business running.

Companies where energy affects growth, production or continuity.

Think of a grid connection that’s becoming too small, high power peaks, solar panels you want to use more of, extra charging points, or machines that need more power than is currently available.

We mainly work with manufacturing companies, construction companies and other businesses where having enough power isn’t a nice-to-have, but a condition for being able to work.

When power isn’t available at the moment you need it.

For example because you draw more power at peak times than your connection can deliver. Because you want to store solar energy. Or because you need power at a location without a suitable connection.

But more battery isn’t automatically the right answer. We start with your energy problem and then determine which solution fits.

Yes. A battery can store energy when capacity is available and step in when your business needs more power than your grid connection can handle.

This lets you absorb peaks, for example, or free up extra power for machines, production lines or charging points.

What’s exactly possible depends on your connection, consumption and energy profile. That’s why we map this out first.

In many situations, yes.

By storing energy and deploying it again during peak moments, you can get more out of your existing connection. This way, battery storage can help make new machines, charging points or extra production possible without solely waiting for a heavier connection.

Whether this is enough for your expansion, we calculate in advance.

You don’t have to work that out yourself. Fortunately.

We look at your grid connection, consumption, peaks, own generation and future plans. Based on that, we determine how much power in kW and storage capacity in kWh you actually need.

Not simply bigger is better. But: big enough for what you want to achieve.

That depends on what the battery needs to do.

Power, storage capacity, installation, control and your existing infrastructure all determine the investment. That’s why we don’t just look at the price of a battery, but at the complete solution and business case.

First know what you need. Then you’ll know what you’re paying for.

With the problem. Not with the battery.

Tell us what you’re running into today, what you want to achieve and which plans are coming up. We map out your energy situation and find out which solution fits.

Maybe that’s battery storage. Maybe Smart Ass Energy. Maybe a combination.

You don’t need to know the answer yet. That’s literally our job.

Smart Ass Energy is Big Ass Battery’s energy management system. Or put simply: the smart brain behind your energy system.

It brings batteries, solar panels, grid power, generators, charging stations, machines and other energy assets together in one system. This way you see what’s happening and energy can be automatically distributed more intelligently.

Because a battery on its own doesn’t know what the smartest choice is for your business at any given moment.

Smart Ass Energy continuously looks at your consumption, available capacity, energy assets and business goals. It adjusts accordingly.

Useful when you have multiple installations, want to absorb peaks, or want to get the most out of a limited grid connection. Less manual monitoring. More control.

Smart Ass Energy can bring together and control various energy assets.

Think of batteries, solar panels, generators, charging points, vehicles, machines and other controllable installations.

Via the Load Commander, we connect Smart Ass Energy to your energy assets. Which installations can specifically be connected, we review during the analysis of your situation.

No.

Smart Ass Energy was developed to bring together different energy assets and systems. So you’re not automatically locked into one type of battery or one manufacturer.

Which existing systems we can specifically integrate, we review technically per installation.

In many cases, yes.

Do you already have solar panels, a battery, charging points, generators or other energy assets? Then we first look at what’s already in place and how we can connect it.

Replacing everything just because a smart system is added? That’s not exactly our definition of smart.

Smart Ass Energy can continuously monitor your available power and intelligently adjust when you approach a set limit.

A battery, for example, can deliver extra power. Other controllable energy assets can be steered along with it.

The goal: get more out of the capacity you already have today, without you having to constantly watch meters and dashboards.

Yes.

Smart Ass Energy steers based on goals, data and context. The system can, for example, determine when a battery charges or discharges and how available energy is distributed across different assets.

This way your energy system doesn’t just react to what’s happening now, but can also anticipate what’s coming.

Always.

Smart Ass Energy automates energy management, but you stay at the wheel. You set the priorities and see what happens within your energy system.

The smart work happens automatically. The control stays with you. Stop managing energy. Start controlling it.
