Energy storage is pairing with solar photovoltaics to bring a new level of resilience to on-site energy systems! Solar Alliance is designing and installing solar + storage for a range of commercial applications. Most recently, this was completed at Dr. E.V. Davidson Recreation Center for the City of Knoxville, Tennessee, in coordination with Knoxville Utilities Board. Our crew is pictured above at the rooftop installation.
Why Battery Energy Storage Systems or BESS with solar?
- Advanced technology stores excess energy
- BESS provides energy from batteries at night
- Stored energy backs up critical electrical loads
- Achieve energy independence from grid outages
- Dependable, on-site electricity at a predictable price
How common is this becoming? The Solar Energy Industries Association predicts that more than a quarter of energy capacity additions over the next five years will include battery storage.
In addition to this, Solar Alliance has taken part in solar + storage projects for:
Appalachian Sustainable Development
Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee
Creekwalk Inn at Whisperwood Farm
First Presbyterian Church of Oak Ridge
Crawford House at Maryville College
North American Headquarters for AESSEAL Inc.
