Today’s grid is increasingly struggling to meet today’s energy demands. Companies are being put at increased risk for their product production goals, which results in lost revenue and under production.

​

Huge generating stations are scattered throughout the country, usually in remote areas that produce energy using coal, gas, nuclear and more recently, renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

​

Energy is delivered to the end-user through complex transmission and distribution systems, commonly referred to as the grid. If something happens between the energy production plant and the end-user location destination, then there’s no power.

​

We’ll there’s a much more efficient way to generate and use power, that’s affordable, reliable and clean. It’s called distributed energy resources. This method can help a business use energy more efficiently by creating it onsite and storing it for later use during peak operating time.

​

Such an energy system consists of alternative energy sources which produce electricity, energy storage units to store it, and an inverter and distribution unit that controls how energy is distributed onsite. This is the brain of the operation.

​

When using solar and /or wind energy, when the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing, those energy sources are gone. Adding energy generation and storage resources frees you from the grid and allows you to operate in any situation.    

​

The energy that your system generates travels to an inverter. An inverter converts the direct current into alternating current which is the power source that most businesses use to power their equipment.

​

Most inverters need AC (alternating current) signals from the grid to operate. The AC power produced by inverters flows both ways to the consumer and to the grid. This is designed to prevent islanding or continued power production onsite while the grid is down. This is done primarily for grid worker safety. Some inverters on the market are island inverters. They are designed to disconnect from the grid for safety while continuing onsite power production while keeping things running.

​

A control unit acts as a hub to route the energy to where it goes next. During high demand periods, energy is routed to those loads that need it most. During low demand periods, the energy is routed to energy storage batteries. This energy can be used at a later time to save costs, especially during peak rates and high demand periods.
