You need to understand the facility's load profile and electricity costs before deciding.
Solar generates energy during the day and can reduce the amount you purchase from the grid.
A battery does something different. It stores energy and gives you more control over when you use or discharge it. That can help manage peak demand and other electricity costs, depending on the facility's tariff and operating profile.
The key is to model both systems against the same load data and compare the value each one delivers.
