For solar installers and high-energy businesses, choosing between a solar energy storage system, thermal energy storage system, and bess battery energy storage system (BESS) depends on energy needs, climate, and budget. These solutions solve intermittency, cut costs, and ensure 24/7 power—critical for off-grid sites, factories, and commercial buildings. This guide highlights YIJIA Solar’s engineered storage products, shares [battery energy storage system] application scenarios, and helps you select the right system with real-world data.
A solar energy storage system stores excess electricity from solar panels for use after sunset or during cloudy weather—YIJIA’s systems integrate seamlessly with its solar panels, maximizing efficiency and reliability.
YIJIA Solar Energy Storage Models
- YJ-ESS10kWh (Residential/Small Commercial): 10kWh capacity, 92% round-trip efficiency, paired with YJ-INV5kW inverters. Ideal for 3–5kW solar setups (e.g., 12x YJ-P330 polycrystalline panels). A suburban home (featured in [YIJIA’s case studies]) uses this system to power lights, fridges, and AC overnight, cutting grid bills by $600/year.
- YJ-ESS50kWh (Medium Commercial): 50kWh capacity, 93% efficiency, designed for 10–20kW solar systems. A Thai supermarket (case study) paired it with 50x YJ-M400 monocrystalline panels, shifting 70% of energy use to off-peak hours and saving $2,400/year.
- Key Advantage: Pre-wired for YIJIA solar panels, reducing installation time by 40% vs. mixed-brand setups.
A thermal energy storage system captures and stores heat (instead of electricity) for industrial processes, heating, or cooling. Unlike solar/BESS, it’s ideal for high-temperature needs—but has limitations for electricity generation:
Thermal Storage Use Cases
- Industrial Heating: Factories (e.g., cement, food processing) use thermal storage to store waste heat or solar thermal energy, cutting natural gas use by 30%. However, it cannot power electrical equipment, making it a complement (not replacement) for BESS.
- Agricultural Drying: A Vietnamese rice farm (case study) used a small thermal system to dry crops, but paired it with YJ-ESS20kWh BESS to power irrigation pumps—showcasing how thermal and electrical storage work together.
Thermal vs. Solar/BESS: Key Differences
| Feature | Solar Energy Storage System | Thermal Energy Storage System | BESS Battery Energy Storage System |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stores | Electricity | Heat | Electricity |
| Powers | Electrical devices | Heating/cooling/processes | All electrical loads |
| Solar Pairing | Direct (stores solar electricity) | Indirect (needs solar thermal panels) | Direct (optimizes solar use) |
A bess battery energy storage system (BESS) is the most versatile option for electrical energy needs—YIJIA’s BESS models excel in three critical scenarios for installers and businesses:
A remote village (case study) deployed YJ-ESS20kWh BESS with 15x YJ-M400 solar panels. This battery energy storage system stores 20kWh of solar energy, powering 100 homes, a school, and water pumps—eliminating $18,000/year in diesel costs. Even during 3-day monsoons, the BESS maintains 80% capacity, ensuring uninterrupted power.
A Turkish metal factory (case study) installed 2x YJ-ESS100kWh BESS. The system charges during off-peak hours (10 PM–6 AM, $0.10/kWh) and discharges during production peaks (9 AM–5 PM, $0.35/kWh), cutting demand charges by 40%—saving $36,000/year. Paired with 300x YJ-P330 solar panels, the factory’s grid reliance drops to 25%.
A 1MW solar farm (case study) uses 10x YJ-ESS100kWh BESS to store excess daytime energy. The battery energy storage system sells power to the grid during evening peaks (prices 2.5x higher), adding $80,000/year in revenue. This turns the farm into a 24/7 energy provider, not just a daytime generator.
