Camborne Energy Storage is installing grid-scale Tesla battery powerpacks in the UK for the first time at a ground-mounted solar PV site in Somerset.
The company said the aim of the project is to demonstrate grid balancing and help to grow co-located energy systems throughout the UK.
The powerpacks are being installed by EPC Poweri Services and have been produced specifically to operate and integrate seamlessly with the solar PV site, Camborne said.
Camborne managing director Dan Taylor said: “The development of Tesla’s first European grid-tied system is an exciting step forward for Camborne and Tesla in terms of our respective storage strategies.
“This project is another success for storage development in the UK and being co-located with a renewable generation site, should offer significant benefits to all stakeholders.”
