The Challenge
The Solution
PVCA selected Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ paired with Socomec’s HES L battery to install alongside the solar system to target those high demand charges that typically occur in the afternoon hours. By pairing the current system with this all-in-one energy storage system, the customer will reduce demand charges significantly and save thousands of dollars every month. The customer will be able to gain control of their energy costs, and usage, giving them more freedom with their finances. The customer also plans to potentially expand the facility and increase capacity in the future, and this system will allow a seamless transition due to the infrastructure being in place. Also, by selecting Socomec’s HES L unit, there is an option for microgrid operations in the future if the area experiences more blackouts or critical power outages.
