PV modules
High-efficiency modules up to 670 W (M10 / G12 / G12R) from German and Dutch stock.
Solution
PV + ESS
Commercial solar generation combined with battery storage for lower grid purchases and higher self-consumption.
The challenge
Why pair solar with storage
Commercial PV alone exports cheap power at midday and buys expensive power in the evening. Storage closes that gap.
- Solar peaks at noon but site demand often peaks in the morning and evening, so surplus is exported at low feed-in rates.
- Rising and volatile grid tariffs make every self-consumed kilowatt-hour more valuable than an exported one.
- Sites want resilience and predictable energy costs, not just a panel count.
How it works
How the system works
PV generation, storage and site loads coordinated by one hybrid platform — DC- or AC-coupled.
- 01
PV array
Rooftop or ground-mount modules generate DC power, with up to 200% PV oversizing supported.
- 02
Hybrid inverter / PCS
A 50 kW hybrid inverter (cabinet) or central PCS (container) routes power to loads, battery or grid.
- 03
Battery storage
Surplus midday generation is stored in 280–314 Ah cells rated for 8,000+ cycles instead of being exported.
- 04
Site & grid
Stored energy covers evening demand; the grid becomes backup, not the default supply.

Representative SAKETE storage projects in this application.
Northern Europe 6.25 MW / 12.5 MWh
125 × 50 kW / 100 kWh · DC-coupled
Storage added to an existing 10.75 MWp on-grid PV plant with smart dynamic price trading and up to 200% PV oversizing. Compact, fast install for Nordic terrain — ~8-month payback.
Europe 5 MW / 10 MWh
Containerised · 5 MW central PCS
Storage added to a 10 MWp PV plant — charge at low prices, discharge to sell at peak prices.
Europe 2.5 MW / 5 MWh
Containerised · 2.5 MW central PCS
Storage added to a 10 MWp PV plant for price arbitrage on an existing grid connection.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Should I choose a DC-coupled or AC-coupled system?
DC-coupling suits new PV-plus-storage builds with high DC/AC ratios and captures clipped energy at ~95–96% charging efficiency. AC-coupling suits retrofits and standalone storage, and can charge from the grid. SAKETE supplies both and recommends per project.
Which inverter brands work with SAKETE batteries?
SAKETE C&I batteries are officially matched with Deye, Growatt, Solis, GoodWe, SOLINTEG, ENJOY and MEGAREVO.
How fast can you deliver?
Standard PV and battery products ship from German and Dutch warehouses, typically within 48 hours of order confirmation.
