Clear answer
Clear answer, explained.
Battery storage allows these buildings to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it later when electricity demand is higher or grid power is unavailable. Batteries can also reduce demand charges, improve power reliability for public services, and support municipal electrification initiatives such as EV fleet charging or heat pump systems.
Key points
What this means in practice.
- Stores excess solar energy for later use
