Across the commercial and industrial sites Ampaura has modelled, payback lands between 4.5 and 7.6 years. Where a site sits in that range depends on how much of the bill is demand charges, how peaky the load is, whether there's solar, and what incentives apply. Anyone who quotes a payback period without seeing your interval data is guessing. We model the return from your own half-hours on your own tariff, and state every assumption so you can check it.
A commercial battery earns several different savings at once, and the mix is different on every site. That's why the model has to run on your data.
Illustrative mix. The size of each bar on your site comes out of the model.
This is the standard we hold our own proposals to. If you're comparing quotes, hold everyone else's to it as well.
The proposal models a fixed operating strategy. Once AI Mode takes over it keeps re-learning your site and adds at least 20% additional savings, with real-world examples reaching as high as 46%. Payback in practice tends to beat payback on paper.
How AI Mode backs that number →Send twelve months of interval data and your latest bill. You'll get back a payback model built on your own half-hours, with the value stack broken out and every assumption stated. If the numbers aren't there, we'll tell you.
