On-site solar and energy storage
Solar photovoltaic installations on the sites of ENGIE''s customers, local authorities and businesses, are the response to such challenges. The
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.
The cost of solar photovoltaic electricity has been divided by 10 in the last 12 years, making it one of the most competitive energy sources in the world today. It is now possible to dispose one's own autonomous energy ecosystems that can continuously meet up to 100% of one's own electricity needs.
Photovoltaic solar energy meets the challenges of decarbonization, optimizing energy costs and increasing energy independence.
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.
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.
Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities. However, the additional generation that can result from larger systems during peak daylight hours must be exported or managed through curtailment on-site.
