Renewables Engineer | Engenuity Solutions

Sustainable Power Solutions

As industries increasingly demand reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective energy solutions, renewable systems, like solar and emerging technologies such as micro wind turbines, are being combined with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These integrations enhance energy reliability, stabilise grids, and reduce operational costs.

Engenuity Solutions specialises in creating customised renewable energy systems to meet the specific power demands of embedded networks, industrial facilities, and commercial enterprises. We enable a seamless energy transition from solar-BESS integration for resilience, to hybrid renewable-diesel systems, or grid-connected storage for peak demand reduction. Our team also handles regulatory approvals, ensuring compliance with grid connection standards. From design to commissioning, we provide end-to-end support, making renewable energy transitions straightforward and cost-effective.

Our Renewables & BESS Capabilities

Solar PV System Design

We engineer high-performance solar PV systems for various applications, including commercial, industrial, large residential developments, solar farms, and more. Our expertise is applied to ensure optimal energy generation and seamless grid integration, for systems ranging from 100kW up to multiple MW.

Battery Energy Storage System Integration

Our BESS designs enhance energy resilience, improve power quality, and optimise savings. Solutions are scalable for grid support (e.g. FCAS), backup power, peak demand shaving, self-consumption, and participation in wholesale energy markets.

Hybrid Renewable Systems

We design hybrid systems combining solar, wind, diesel, and BESS for off-grid or high-reliability applications, reducing fuel dependency and stabilising supply.

Embedded Network Renewables

We design integrated solar and BESS solutions for embedded networks, such as residential developments and shopping centres, enabling renewables uptake to increase energy independence and reduce carbon footprint of communities.

Grid Connection & Approval Process

Our team handles Supply Authority approvals, ensuring compliance with grid connection and regulatory requirements.

Commissioning & Testing

We ensure designs are implemented correctly and that installed systems achieve your desired outcomes, and deliver maximum generation and reliability.

frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of battery energy storage systems (BESS)?

BESS enhance resilience, stabilise grids, and reduce costs by storing excess energy. Applications include backup power, peak shaving, grid support, self-consumption and renewable energy integration.

How do solar and BESS systems improve efficiency?

Solar PV generates clean energy, and paired with BESS, stores excess power for use during low-solar periods, enhancing efficiency and reducing reliance on external sources.

How does the grid approval process work?

Engenuity Solutions manages approvals, including technical design submissions, regulatory compliance, and connection agreements, ensuring smooth project progression and adherence to regulations.

Can BESS back up industrial power?

Yes, BESS offers reliable backup power for industrial sites, providing instant energy during outages and reducing downtime.

What size range does BESS cover?

We specialise in medium-scale systems for individual facilities, embedded networks or microgrids, supporting distributed networks and industrial needs.

How does BESS fit my project?

We assess energy load profiles, cost-saving potential, and renewable integration needs to recommend the ideal solution for you. We assist at all stages of a project, from performing option assessments, through to developing CAPEX estimates, designing a system, and managing the necessary approvals processing to get your BESS operational.
