Chula Vista Hard Kombucha Manufacturer Deploys Energy Toolbase’s ETB Controller

Energy Toolbase and HES Solar collaborated to deploy ETB Controller with Acumen AI, utilizing a dynamic economic dispatch controls strategy. The project features a 4163 kW DC photovoltaic array paired with a 60kW/258kWh BYD CHESS battery, which is customized to align with the facility’s specific load profile. Through Acumen AI’s dynamic economic dispatch, the system autonomously shifts the facility’s energy use to off-peak periods, dispatching stored energy during high-demand intervals to minimize costs. By strategically reducing grid dependency during high-cost intervals, the facility benefits from demand charge reductions, increased renewable energy utilization, and long-term operational savings. As the Performance Data Provider (PDP) under California’s SGIP Program, Energy Toolbase monitors and reports system performance to ensure compliance and optimize cost savings. This is HES Solar’s third energy storage system deployed with ETB Controller.
