Energy When You Need It

摘要

Using renewable energy sources can reduce your dependence on the electrical grid. But predicting the ebb and flow of available power can make it hard to budget for electricity costs.If your building is on target for net zero energy status, that calculation is all the more important because a day that's hotter or colder than expected can drive up your energy consumption.Many new renewable energy installations incorporate energy storage systems from the start for this exact reason.Energy storage systems can help with the production vs. consumption hurdle by storing energy in a battery, flywheel or other technology. That's better than releasing it during peak consumption hours or when less grid electricity is available.
