Question 1

What are the benefits of installing BESS for households?

Accepted Answer

Households can gain reliable backup power, perform peak-valley arbitrage, increase self-consumption, and even support partial off-grid operation, enhancing energy independence and flexibility.

Question 2

How can commercial and industrial users reduce electricity costs with BESS?

Accepted Answer

Businesses can optimize electricity usage through peak shaving, load shifting, and participating in demand response programs, maximizing economic benefits while improving overall efficiency and reliability.

Question 3

What is the lifespan of a battery energy storage system?

Accepted Answer

Lithium batteries typically have thousands of charge-discharge cycles, with a service life of 10–15 years. Even after reaching the design life, batteries retain about 70–80% of their capacity and can be repurposed for other applications, continuing to generate environmental and economic benefits.

Question 4

What is the payback period for installing BESS?

Accepted Answer

The payback period depends on system size, electricity prices, peak-valley arbitrage opportunities, and usage patterns. Commercial and industrial users typically recover their investment in 4–8 years, while households may require a longer period. Nevertheless, the convenience and environmental benefits of BESS remain significant.

Question 5

Is BESS maintenance complicated?

Accepted Answer

GODE’s storage systems are designed for “zero maintenance,” requiring only periodic status checks. The BMS automatically monitors battery health and issues alerts for anomalies. When necessary, local engineers can provide remote or on-site maintenance to ensure long-term reliable operation.
