Added power, without upgrading your connection
Want to run heavy loads like large machinery, refrigeration and ovens simultaneously? With a Victron ESS you can, without upgrading your grid connection. The peak shaving function automatically brings the battery online during consumption peaks, giving you the extra power that's needed.
Smart equipment control for more efficient use
Avoid consumption peaks. Switch on machinery when there's plenty of solar energy or low tariffs. Prevent overload by intelligently distributing power and starting machines in sequence. A Victron ESS can automatically control your equipment based on energy use to make your operations even more efficient. Without taking up any of your time.
Keep working when others grind to a halt
During a power cut, your business simply keeps running. Your Victron ESS switches to battery power instantly, so equipment and lighting stay on. Even your existing solar panels continue to supply power - something that's impossible with a regular PV setup.
Avoid high peak tariffs
Even with a heavy-duty connection, the peak shaving function of a Victron ESS saves you money. When you suddenly need more power, the battery automatically kicks in to meet the demand. This keeps your connection within limits and avoids expensive peak charges.
Buy and sell electricity at the best rates
With a dynamic contract, your Victron system can automatically buy electricity during off-peak hours and sell any excess at peak rates, including power from your solar panels. This saves you even more and makes you less dependent on your energy supplier.
Avoid feed-in charges
As a business owner you invest in solar panels to save money sustainably, not to pay extra for using them. With a Victron ESS, excess solar power is stored in the battery so you can use it later - during poor weather or in the evening, for example. You also have the option to disable grid feed-in completely.
Peak shaving
Supercharge your existing connection
Want to run heavy machinery, refrigeration and charging points simultaneously without overloading your grid connection? Peak shaving makes it possible. The ESS battery automatically supplies extra power during consumption peaks and flattens them to avoid high capacity charges. This keeps your operations running without needing a larger connection. Better still: in some cases, you can even manage with a smaller, cheaper connection.
Bypass your network operator's waiting list
In some countries, there's a minimum wait of several years for a new or upgraded grid connection. With a Victron ESS, you get the capacity you need quickly.
Dynamic ESS
An energy storage system that saves you money by itself
Dynamic ESS manages your company's energy use in the smartest way possible, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sophisticated algorithms automatically charge and discharge the battery based on your predicted consumption, local solar generation, and current energy rates to get the most from a dynamic energy contract. The result: lower costs, greater use of your own solar power, reduced grid dependence and the option to sell excess energy. Dynamic ESS is free and included as standard with every Victron ESS system.

Energy Automations
Smart control of equipment use
What was once only available in expensive industrial systems is now within reach for SMEs. Victron ESS offers the option to actively control machines and equipment through Energy Automations: intelligent control rules that distribute power more effectively and improve energy efficiency. Your Victron installer sets up the connections and fine-tunes everything to match your business operations.
The real-world benefits
Energy Automations:
the capabilities
Process automation
A system that always chooses the right moment
With Energy Automations, a Victron ESS controls your entire energy system. Critical equipment like climate control, ovens, or CNC machines always gets priority, while other systems start up a few seconds later. Pumps, ventilation, and compressors run as soon as there's capacity or favourable rates apply. This way, all processes are coordinated and your business runs smoothly - without overload or unnecessary energy costs.
Advanced Load Shifting
Plan consumption around solar and rates
With Energy Automations, battery charging and discharging is optimised further. Heavy equipment - like irrigation pumps on a farm - switches on automatically when electricity rates are low or solar generation is high. If a process can't wait, the battery supplies energy stored earlier at cheaper rates.
Advanced Load Balancing
Distribute power across phases and time
A Victron ESS distributes the load across the three phases of your connection, with the battery supporting the highest demand. Energy Automations ensure even better balance by starting heavy equipment in sequence or with priority. For example, in a metalworking business, the CNC machine can run first, the extraction a few seconds later, and the annealing furnace only when capacity is available.
Real-time insights
Track your energy use, solar generation and battery status in real time, around the clock. The free Victron Remote Management (VRM) app works on your laptop, phone or smartwatch, giving you complete control of your energy system. Use it to boost your grid independence and cut your energy costs.

Never lose productivity to a power cut again
When the grid goes down, it often means lost production, spoiled inventory, and missed deadlines. But with a Victron ESS, there's no downtime and no stress. The system switches to backup power instantly, so equipment, lighting, and IT keep running. The same applies to your solar panels - something that's impossible with just a grid connection.
Independence as standard
With a Victron system, you're not tied to one brand, application, or energy supplier. Existing PV inverters, generators, and charging points can be easily integrated, and there's complete freedom of choice in batteries and other components. What's more, we don't tie you into energy contracts or charge software subscription fees.
Business continuity meets sustainability
Victron ESS makes your energy greener and more intelligent. Get more from your solar power and shift consumption to cheaper times - reducing both CO₂ emissions and costs. At the same time, you become less dependent on the grid and improve your business continuity.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ESS?
An ESS (Energy Storage System) is an energy system that intelligently connects your solar panels, PV inverter and grid connection to a battery. It stores excess solar power during the day so you can use that energy later when the sun isn't shining - in the evening or during poor weather, for example. An ESS also offers the option to charge the battery when electricity rates are low. This way, you become less dependent on your energy supplier, avoid feed-in charges and save on your bills.
I'm struggling to get an upgraded connection. Can an ESS solve this?
Yes, that's exactly what a Victron ESS is designed for. The system lets you get more power from your existing connection because the battery supplies extra power during peak consumption. This means heavy loads like large machinery, ovens and refrigeration can run simultaneously without tripping the fuses. So you don't have to wait for the network operator, and if you want to expand further later, you already have a system that grows with your business.
Can I combine Victron ESS with my existing solar panels?
Yes, a Victron ESS integrates seamlessly with existing installations. The modular system adapts to any configuration and works with most brands of solar panels and inverters.
Do I need a large system straight away?
No, it's no problem to start small and expand as your business grows. The system is deliberately designed to be modular, making it easy to add battery capacity and inverter power when needed. Many business owners start with a basic system that supports the most critical processes and scale up later, for example to increase backup capacity. Your installer will help you determine what best suits your situation.
How does an ESS work during a power cut?
The system switches to battery power instantly, so your business simply keeps running. Critical equipment like refrigeration, computers and machinery stays operational, so you don't lose revenue or stock. You can even temporarily reserve extra backup capacity if you're expecting problems, such as during severe weather.
Besides ESS, I also hear the term EMS - what does that mean?
EMS stands for Energy Management System. It's a widely used term for the ESS software that manages and optimises energy consumption and storage. Your Victron ESS's EMS is flexible and can also intelligently control various pieces of equipment, so they're used at the most favourable times. This provides even greater stability and savings.
Can the system buy and sell energy automatically?
Yes, with the Dynamic ESS function in 'Trade Mode', the system can trade energy automatically. It checks current rates every quarter-hour or hour, buys power when prices are low and sells excess energy (including your self-generated solar power) when prices are high. Depending on consumption and market rates, this can significantly reduce energy costs. Note: you'll need a dynamic energy contract for this.
What if I want to sell energy but prioritise my own consumption?
For that, the Dynamic ESS function has 'Green Mode'. This covers your own consumption first, then charges the battery, and only sells excess energy as a last step.
What is a dynamic energy contract?
With a dynamic energy contract, electricity rates are directly linked to current prices on the energy exchange. You pay only a small purchasing fee on top of the standing charges, without the extra cost for price certainty you'd have with a fixed-rate contract. With a dynamic contract, you can use Dynamic ESS: your system automatically buys power when prices are low and sells what you don't use when prices are high.
Is a Victron ESS easy to expand?
Yes. In fact, it's specifically designed to grow with your energy needs. Not only because all Victron products are easy to combine with each other, but also because the system works with equipment from other brands. Think of AC-PV inverters for solar panels and batteries, for example.
Are there extra costs for the smart features?
No, all smart features such as Dynamic ESS, monitoring via the VRM app and automatic optimisation are included as standard with no additional costs or subscriptions.
Can the system handle peaks in my electricity use?
Yes, even with a small grid connection, heavy machinery, refrigeration and charging points for company vehicles can all operate simultaneously. The battery automatically kicks in when more power is needed, and excessive peaks can be prevented by intelligently controlling equipment with Energy Automations.
I'm not familiar with Victron Energy. Is it a reliable brand?
Absolutely. Victron Energy is a Dutch family business that has been leading the way in energy systems since 1975. We have millions of customers worldwide and our equipment operates in the most remote areas where you're completely self-reliant. Professionals trust Victron in extreme conditions: our systems can be found in rescue boats, hospitals use our emergency power solutions for backup, and we're the global market leader in energy systems for ambulances.
Is a Victron ESS a safe system?
It definitely is. Many of our customers must be able to rely on their Victron equipment in the most extreme conditions, and everything is built and tested accordingly.
