Battery Storage

How Battery Storage Works

Battery energy storage systems are rechargeable battery systems that store energy from solar arrays or the electric grid and provide that energy to a home or business. Because they contain advanced technology that regular batteries do not, they can easily perform certain tasks that used to be difficult or impossible, such as peak saving and load shifting.

Battery Basics

Step 1:
CHARGE

During daylight, the battery storage system is charged by clean electricity generated by solar.

Step 2:
OPTIMIZE

Intelligent battery software uses algorithms to coordinate solar production, usage history, utility rate structures, and weather patterns to optimize when the stored energy is used.

Step 3:
DISCHARGE
Energy is discharged from the battery storage system during times of high usage, reducing or eliminating costly demand charges.
