THE SOLUTION

During the day, solar PV generation typically reduces a building’s peak load. When solar generation tapers in the shoulder hours, energy storage enables customers to use stored solar energy to further reduce their peak loads. Rising demand-based charges (measured in kilowatts) are causing the business case for solar-only projects to deteriorate. Pairing solar PV and behind-the-meter energy storage can more than double customer savings and significantly boost project returns.
