Frequently Asked Questions

How will adding solar and energy storage to a commercial building save my customers money?

Adding solar and storage reduces grid reliance and lowers utility bills by generating power on-site and discharging during peak usage. Projects benefit from demand charge management, time-of-use rate optimization, and eligibility for valuable incentives like the ITC and ConnectedSolutions. Together, these strategies offer long-term protection against rising energy costs.

How does ETB Developer account for demand charge management?

The platform models demand charge reduction strategies by simulating battery storage dispatch to lower peak demand and maximize cost savings.

Can ETB Controller be used for front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter projects?

Yes, ETB Controller supports both front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage applications, optimizing value for different use cases.

Can ETB Controller enable participation in demand response and grid programs?

Yes, ETB Controller allows energy storage systems to participate in utility demand response programs, virtual power plants (VPPs), and wholesale energy markets, helping asset owners unlock additional revenue streams.
