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.
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.
As a rule, inverters designed for outdoor use may be installed either outdoors or indoors, however indoor inverters can only be installed indoors. The great majority of grid-tied or string inverters available today are designed for outdoor installation.
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.
Built on the foundation of the DuraRack battery cabinet, the FlexTower combines the battery, charge controller, and inverter into a single unit with an LCD control panel, and remote monitoring capability.
With an off grid inverter, you can power essential onboard systems like fridges, lights, fans, cooktops, and low-wattage air conditioners, even when you''re parked miles away from the nearest campground.
This guide will take a closer look at the key components of a solar energy storage system, the installation process, and best practices for indoor and outdoor environments to help you
