Clear answer
Clear answer, explained.
This reduces the facility’s maximum grid draw, which is often the basis for demand charges under industrial tariffs. The combined system operates automatically through energy management controls to optimise peak shaving, load shifting, and grid interaction.
Key points
What this means in practice.
- Batteries store excess daytime solar generation
- Stored energy is discharged during peak demand periods
- Peak shaving reduces demand charges
- Load shifting improves use of onsite generation
- Systems operate automatically with energy management software
- Battery sizing is based on load profile and peak intervals
When this applies
Best-fit environments.
- Industrial facilities on demand-based or
- TOU tariffs
- Sites with high or variable peak loads
- Operations seeking demand charge reduction and resilience
