Every solar + energy storage project analysis starts with a detailed account of energy consumption. A proposal cannot move forward without this, which at ETB, we call an Energy Use Profile. To accurately recreate this, 365 days of energy consumption and demand data, a full year of utility bills and energy supplier charges, and an in-depth understanding of your customer’s rate tariff and NEM rules are needed. This process can be time-consuming and error-prone if you’re not a rate expert, particularly in deregulated markets. If this step isn’t done properly and thoroughly, the entire financial analysis will be compromised.
That’s why we’re introducing our newETB Pre-Proposal Service. This service is designed to take the guesswork out of recreating your customer’s energy use profile and save time, time that could be spent selling more projects. By your request, our team of in-house utility rates experts precisely reconstructs and validates a full year of your customer’s energy consumption, cost of energy, rate schedule, and NEM details. This provides you the certainty that the solar + storage analysis you ran in ETB Developer is exact. Over the years, our team has analyzed thousands of bills worldwide and has become acquainted with various rate structures, billing scenarios, and metering policies and is now offering their expertise to our users.
