Lower Peak Demand Charges + Reduce Energy Costs
Save More with Commercial Solar Energy Storage
Solar by itself can cut monthly energy charges dramatically. Storage can amplify those savings by addressing demand charges. Combining solar and storage creates more ways to save and can be a financially attractive combination for customers with the right energy profile.
How energy storage works
The curve created by the up and down movement of your monthly energy bills is called the load profile. Businesses with a lot of fluctuation have a "spiky" load associated with drastic shifts throughout the day in how much energy they are consuming. Storage helps reduce that spike.
Step 1
Solar charges your batteries
During daylight, your solar system uses batteries to store excess energy it generates.
Step 2
software monitors power consumption
Intelligent software coordinates between solar and storage, optimizing how and when energy is utilized.
Step 3
Batteries release energy
Stored energy can be released:
- When rates are high
- To keep supply at a consistent level and avoid peak demand charges
- To stay below a certain energy use threshold and avoid moving into a higher rate tariff
