Maximize Your Solar Investment with Battery Storage

As leaders in commercial solar, we’re dedicated to providing you with the latest insights and advancements in solar technology. While businesses continue to grapple with the challenge of energy costs, we are constantly searching for ways to enhance our solutions. One of those ways: battery storage.

The New Era of Solar Payback

The latest Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 (now formally referred to as Net Billing Tarriff (NBT)) guidelines bring important changes in the way we optimize your solar investment. Now, the best financial returns are achieved by maximizing the amount of self-produced energy you consume and minimizing energy sent back to the grid. That’s where battery storage comes in. It’s simple:

• During the day, your solar production often exceeds your immediate needs for energy.

• Instead of sending this excess energy back to the grid, it gets stored in a battery.

• When the sun goes down, you’ll use your stored energy before having to buy energy back from the grid at much higher rates.

Benefits of Energy Storage

By storing your own energy, you’ll get a steady supply of power and reduce your reliance on the grid. Storage offers you more independence as well as significantly lowering your energy costs.

Not only is battery storage a powerful way to take your solar usage to the next level, but all tax credits and incentives that apply to solar also apply to batteries – further accelerating your path to profitability.

Even without storage, we’re still finding that we can help clients achieve an impressive 3–5-year payback and a 10% - 20% IRR (depending on customer load). Battery storage is the cherry on top, making those numbers – and your bottom line – look even better.

Why Now?

Energy storage technology has advanced significantly, with costs continuing to decrease. The financial benefits, coupled with the availability of incentives, make this the perfect time to enhance your energy strategy – even if you’ve already built a system with us.

We look forward to helping you explore your energy savings solutions! Give us a call at (559) 936-2245 to learn how we can optimize your savings with battery storage.
