Backup Systems: Power on Standby
As our national energy grid continues to age, more frequent power outages are a certainty. You are more prepared than most if you already have a solar on your business. A commercial energy storage system will allow you to expand security around the clock for your most critical power loads.
An emergency backup system will provide enough energy to run your most critical loads at night while the grid is down for much less money than a full off-grid system. When the sun comes back up the next day, your solar panels will recharge the batteries for use again the following night. This cycle continues until grid power is restored.
Squash Utility Demand Fees
Arizona utilities are moving swiftly toward demand-based rate plans that add new fees for the highest single hour (APS) or half hour (SRP) of energy drawn from the grid during the billing cycle. Energy Storage can help mitigate these fees—allowing your business to flatten demand peaks by drawing from stored solar energy rather than grid energy when your demand peaks. These systems require much less overall capacity than a full off-grid system and generally offer the fastest ROI.
