How do you add a microgrid—with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), canopy and ground mount solar, and EV charging and pollinator garden—to a site with existing rooftop solar generation? The presenters designed and built a microgrid for a tool equipment manufacturer with 24/7 operations in Massachusetts that cut energy usage in half, took advantage of MA’s SMART program incentives to create an attractive Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), and offset the differences between the solar power generated and the demand, known as the duck curve. Join us for an informative discussion on the logic of using two different solar modalities and the challenges of adding a microgrid to an existing site.
