Robowatch is a provider of remote security and monitoring solutions with critical requirements for energy security and resilience. The installation of solar and battery energy system by Absolar significantly reduces their electricity costs while strengthening energy resilience for its operations.

The installation combines rooftop solar generation, advanced battery storage and intelligent energy management to ensure that Robowatch’s monitoring systems remain operational even during grid outages.

As a result, 63% of the site's energy demand is now supplied directly by solar generation, significantly lowering reliance on grid electricity.

The system is also expected to reduce Robowatch’s electricity bills by 48%, providing a strong commercial return while protecting the business from future electricity price volatility.

Surplus energy generated during peak solar periods is being configured for export, creating an additional revenue stream.

• Energy Saving: The installation has transformed the site's energy profile, with 63% of total energy requirements now met directly by solar generation. By integrating a 54.24 kWh battery storage system with intelligent peak shaving and grid-tied optimization, the client has achieved a 48% reduction in electricity bills and established a new revenue stream through surplus energy export tariffs.
• Sustainability Impact: This project significantly bolsters the client's ESG and carbon reduction commitments by offsetting 9.3 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Beyond simple generation, the system utilises advanced Sigenergy Gateway technology to maximize self-consumption, ensuring that clean energy is prioritized over grid reliance and reducing the overall environmental footprint of their security operations.
• Project Management: Absolar delivered a complex, multi-layered technical solution that integrated solar, battery storage, and existing onsite backup generators. Despite challenges including cut-edge roof corrosion—which required full remedial works by Absolar’s roofing team—and the need to maintain live critical operations, the project was completed with zero downtime for the client's monitoring services.
