You pay for energy. So, make the most of it.
You can’t control the grid. But you can take greater control of your energy costs—and even generate revenues—with on-site energy storage.
Reduce demand charges
When loads at your facility spike, your battery-based storage system automatically discharges power. By avoiding grid demand spikes, you can minimize this significant component of your electricity bill.
Time-shift usage
If your highest loads coincide with your utility’s peak-rate hours, let your energy storage system charge during the off-peak hours. Making the most of the less expensive stored energy can have a significant effect on your bill.
Increase self generation
By consuming more of your own energy, you can reduce the proportion of expensive grid power you use each month. Larger solar installations are possible when energy storage acts as a buffer for excess capacity.
Earn revenues
Earn revenues from demand response (DR) programs. You can elect to have your on-site energy storage system automatically respond to DR requests to reduce demand from the grid by discharging power from the battery. There’s no effort on your part.
Maximize uptime & roi
Protect critical loads with temporary backup power that can be recharged from the grid or local sources. In addition to backup, energy storage can perform other cost-saving and revenue-generating services, making it an attractive investment.
Hedge against rate changes
When electricity time-of-use (TOU) rates change, you may feel compelled to alter operation schedules, which may not be to your advantage. Energy storage reduces your exposure to TOU rate changes by providing an alternative source of power whenever peak price periods occur.
