A well-designed commercial PV system can significantly reduce energy costs, yet some solar customers may be disappointed by their total utility bill savings. The reason? Demand charges. To surpass customer expectations, commercial solar installers can now install a new kind of AI software solution that can anticipate and reduce the building’s demand peaks, increasing customer savings—and satisfaction.
What you’ll learn:
In this informative webinar, Barrett Silver, CEO of Silver Lining Solar, and John Powers, CEO of Extensible Energy will:
-
Explain the difference between energy charges and demand charges in commercial solar buildings.
-
Show how demand charges and Time of Use (TOU) rates affect solar’s energy savings.
-
Describe how Extensible’s DemandEx A.I. software uses a variety of data to monitor, predict, and reduce demand spikes, reducing demand charges by about 30%--and increasing solar’s savings and customer satisfaction.
-
Reveal how DemandEx can also be used to reduce the cost of back-up power installations.
