Battery Backup

ComEd recently adjusted their solar net metering policy to "Net Metering 2.0" which is a supply only credit for over production sent back to the grid. By storing the energy onsite instead of sending back to the grid, your system yields the full rate savings when drawing that power later in the evening and night. The savings accrued over the useful life of a battery system often pays for itself, especially when considering future electricity rate increases.

On-the-fly load management and visibility on the mobile app provides flexibility and control whether you are home or away. The robust advancements and integrations with energy management systems are currently evolving at an impressive rate.

If you are experiencing frequent grid outages and have critical operations or perishables that always require power.

By storing excess solar production during the day and utilizing it at night, you're maximizing financials by avoiding partial credits for what would normally be sent back to the grid.

By adding an additional battery to the system, you're able to leverage self-metering while having extra storage to provide confort at any time of the day. With all other aspects of the project already accounted for, the cost of adding an additional battery is rather favorable.
