What is solar-plus-storage?

Solar-plus-storage is the integration of a battery energy storage system with a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Businesses can see far greater benefits with solar-plus-storage than with solar or storage alone. Solar-plus-storage will reduce energy costs, improve renewable energy use, and will provide greater resilience in case of a power outage.

Why is solar-plus-storage a resiliency solution in Japan?

Japan experiences challenging electricity market conditions due to frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters such as earthquakes, which can lead to power outages.” Solar-plus-storage is one of the strongest resiliency solutions in the market. Together, it can provide backup power ranging from several hours to several days.

Why is solar-plus-storage a sustainable option during power outages?

Stored solar energy is a resilient, sustainable option during power outages. Solar-plus-storage helps to prevent power loss if the grid goes down. Japan experiences challenging electricity market conditions due to frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters such as earthquakes, which can lead to power outages.”

Why should a business use a solar-plus-storage battery?

A battery can optimize when solar or grid energy is used, and allows excess solar power to be stored for future use when peak demand charges are high, or when the grid is down. Solar-plus-storage offers both economic and environmental benefits for your business.
