Energy Storage

 

Combining solar and energy storage offers a smart, efficient solution by generating excess energy during the day, which can be stored for use at night or during high demand periods, balancing production variations caused by weather and other factors. While having solar enhances the benefits of energy storage, it is not required. Key benefits include load balancing to reduce grid energy purchases and avoid peak demand charges, enhanced resilience with backup power during outages to keep essential services like water treatment operational, and increased control over energy costs and system reliability. With ongoing advancements in energy storage technology, this combination is becoming more practical and exciting.
