Efficient integration of PV systems, storage systems and decentralised generators at construction companies

Many construction sites, whether on greenfield sites, on the outskirts of cities or in densely populated areas, do not have a stable grid connection. However, the energy demand is high and increases with every crane lift. Rather than using expensive diesel generators, battery storage systems provide a reliable, quiet and emission-free power supply.

Cross-sector energy efficiency is needed in the construction industry

Construction sites under power

Challenges for Construction Companies

Large construction sites are the driving force of progress, but providing them with energy is often a mammoth task. Cranes, construction machinery and containers require vast quantities of electricity, often in areas far from stable grid infrastructure. The industry faces the dual challenge of ensuring a consistently high and reliable power supply, while reducing its reliance on fossil fuels to minimise its environmental footprint.

High and variable power requirements

Construction machinery such as cranes and welding equipment requires a high power output, which can vary greatly depending on the phase of construction.

Lack of grid connection

Many construction sites, particularly those located outside urban areas, do not have access to sufficient grid capacity to meet their electricity needs.

Costs for temporary connections

Setting up and operating temporary power connections or generators can be costly and may put a strain on project budgets.

Dependence on fossil fuel generators

Diesel generators are often the only option available, resulting in high fuel costs, noise and CO₂ emissions.

Security of supply in the event of grid outages

A power failure could halt construction completely, leading to considerable delays and additional costs.

Advantages & Applications for Construction Companies

Load peak capping or peak shaving

Avoid expensive power surges and enable powerful machines to be operated even on weaker connections.

Load peak capping or peak shaving

Emergency power supply and grid stabilization

In the event of fluctuations in the public grid or power outages, the battery storage system ensures the uninterrupted supply of important construction site systems, which minimizes downtimes and increases safety.

Emergency power supply and grid stabilization

Optimization of the grid connection

If the existing grid connection is not sufficient, the battery storage system supplies the required additional power. This allows you to dispense with a costly alternative and start operation immediately.

Noise and emission reduction

Unlike diesel generators, the battery storage system is quiet and emission-free. This improves working conditions and helps comply with environmental regulations.

Battery storage for the energy supply on construction sites

A battery storage system is the solution to your daily challenges: It stores solar power that can be used to reduce peak loads when needed and is ideal for industrial and commercial use. STABL storage solutions are based on the reuse of used or unused vehicle batteries. These second-chance battery storage systems are available as outdoor containers or as a “battery hotel” and guarantee 100% resource efficiency, safety and reliability.

Large construction sites require enormous amounts of reliable energy, but often struggle with weak grid connections and dependence on diesel generators. Stationary battery storage systems offer a solution here: they cushion power peaks, integrate renewable energies and secure the power supply. This reduces electricity costs, cuts emissions and keeps construction progress stable – for more environmentally friendly construction sites.
