The duration of backup power provided by a BESS depends on its capacity and the power requirements of the connected loads. Smaller systems may provide power for a few hours, while larger installations can sustain critical loads for several days. The capacity and duration can be customized based on specific requirements.
There are several benefits of utilizing a BESS, including:
A BESS is a technology that stores electrical energy in rechargeable batteries for later use. It allows for efficient energy management by storing excess energy during times of low demand and delivering it during peak demand periods.
Generally, yes. In the case of New York, for example, you can still choose to purchase the power from the Utility or any of the approved ESCOs. The community solar credit will be applied separately on the utility bill. This can vary state to state, so please contact us for more information.
The ideal land for solar is reasonably cleared and level, it is located near a substation (1-3 miles) and close to 3-phase power line (<1 mile). If you’re unsure if your land qualifies for solar, contact us and we will assess and evaluate your land.
The amount of money you can possibly get from your land depends on a wide range of factors such as proximity to the substation and capacity. A realistic estimate is approximately between $600 to $1,500 per acre but there are often very good reasons for going outside of that range.
Once the lease has been finalized, we can begin the planning phase. A project can take around 2 to 3 years to complete.
In a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement(VPPA) the buyer agrees to purchase the utility-scale project’s renewable energy for a fixed price and will receive Renewable Energy Credits. You will still be connected to the utility grid so you will have power when you need it.
