Renewable Energy Storage Reliable Solutions
Energy storage allows K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and local and state government organizations to switch to renewable energy solutions, lowering energy costs, offsetting their reliance on the grid, and ensuring adequate power is available whenever they need it.
SitelogIQ can help you with the development of a plan for on-site energy storage solutions for your property to help reduce demand, save money, and provide grid resiliency. Whether you have an existing solar setup or are looking for storage options to install alongside a solar PV array, we can help.
How Does Large Scale Energy Storage Work?
Energy storage requires a large battery system connected to your existing electrical infrastructure. When the sun is shining, or the electricity costs are at their lowest the battery stores the excess energy for later use. When generation drops below a given threshold — due either to excess demand or limited sunlight — or the electricity costs are at their peak, the battery kicks in, providing the extra power you need to maintain your building and lower energy costs. This process keeps energy supply consistent, avoiding any sudden demand spikes that can drive up your overhead costs.
In addition to the battery itself, renewable energy storage systems have a sophisticated computer control that automates the process and provides ongoing monitoring and analytic modeling to help maintain peak efficiency at all times.
What Are the Benefits of Power Storage Solutions?
Energy storage systems have many benefits. By making renewable energy more reliable and predictable, you can:
- Increase the potential applications for solar power, even to facilities requiring “mission critical” power systems
- Further reduce your dependence on the electrical power grid as well as associated costs
- Improve predictability and make your operations more resilient
- Reduce downtime and the loss of productivity that accompanies it
- Save energy costs by using grid power during off-peak periods
- Reduce Demand Charges from the utility
