Right now, most of those projects aren’t paired with solar, although more companies are considering integrated installations as a way to maximize the value of those investments, Russo said. "This is the right time to step into the market," he said. Much of the activity is in friendly markets such as California, Massachusetts and Texas, where the electricity rates and incentives can help justify the investment, as well as at sites that can accommodate the equipment from a physical perspective.
For now, at least, the integrated projects that are happening are associated with new installations. That’s because most rebates or tax credits can’t be BTC Number Data applied to retrofits. (Although a move is afoot to change that.) Energy strategists that I’ve spoken with during the past month from Walmart, Ingersoll Rand and Whole Foods Market are taking a more active interest in potential applications that pair onsite solar generation with energy storage equipment — the capability to automate utility demand response programs is a shared interest.
We’ve worked with a number of partners on these, a few successfully and a few where we are still trying to make the projects work," observed Aaron Daly, global energy coordinator with Whole Foods, speaking generally about the organization's energy storage projects. He’s less concerned about the actual hardware and more interested in the software application possibilities, such as how to use installations for peak shaving when rates are high or how to island certain buildings from the main electric grid for resilience considerations.
