6 FAQs about Onsite energy storage

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.

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.

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.

Do energy storage technologies have a levelized cost of Storage (LCOS)?

Many energy storage technologies have been explored, 3,4 and these studies have included detailed analyses comparing each technology's levelized cost of storage (LCOS).

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 TES shift thermal loads in buildings?

In this perspective, we make the case for on-site TES in buildings to shift thermal loads in buildings. We show that both summer and winter peak electricity loads in U.S. buildings in 2050 will be driven by thermal loads, which comprise space heating, space cooling, water heating, and refrigeration.
