Peak Shaving

Category: finance

The strategy of utilizing solar and battery assets to reduce energy consumption during peak utility utility tariff windows.

Commercial facilities face heavy "demand charges" based on their highest usage spikes. Peak shaving structures use smart battery algorithms to discharge stored solar energy the exact millisecond the building's power draw spikes, flattening the consumption curve and cutting utility costs.

Common Examples

• Our software models initialized peak shaving protocols, discharging the battery core during the expensive 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM rate spike.
• Deploying an automated peak shaving architecture protects commercial manufacturing groups from sudden, high-cost utility demand fees.
