Riverside School District was facing high peak demand charges during hot summer days when air conditioning usage spiked. We installed a 500kWh battery storage system to help manage their energy costs.
The battery system charges during off-peak hours when electricity rates are low and discharges during peak demand periods. We also integrated it with their existing solar panels to maximize renewable energy usage.
The system has reduced the district's peak demand charges by 60%, saving them over $50,000 annually. These savings are being reinvested in educational programs.
