6 FAQs about Onsite energy plus solar cells

How can on-site solar PV & energy storage improve sustainability?

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.

What is Onsite Energy?

Onsite energy refers to electric and thermal energy generation and storage technologies that are physically located at a facility and provide alternative energy services directly to the site.

What are the benefits of an on-site solar PV system?

For the scenario represented in the graph, an on-site solar PV system allows the facility to reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid during the middle of the day. Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities.

Can on-site storage be used alongside solar PV?

If a utility restricts the exports from a facility to the grid, the use of on-site storage alongside solar PV can provide a solution to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, thus increasing the feasibility of larger on-site PV installations.

Should solar PV production be reduced on-site?

Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities. However, the additional generation that can result from larger systems during peak daylight hours must be exported or managed through curtailment on-site.

Should you invest in onsite solar?

Onsite solar is easily installed on rooftops or as ground-mounted panels on business property. Investing in solar installations creates a tangible asset for businesses to showcase their progressive sustainability strategy to stakeholders, customers, and the energy market. However, investing in onsite solar isn't just a vanity project.
