Discover practical ways to combine solar generation, storage, efficient equipment and smarter electricity management.
Understand when electricity is used
Electricity bills and interval meter data can help reveal when a property uses the most energy and where solar could offset grid imports.
Match generation to demand
Using more solar electricity on-site can improve its financial value, especially where export tariffs are lower than retail electricity prices.
Consider battery storage
A battery can shift some energy use to other times. For commercial sites, operating strategies may consider time-of-use prices and demand charges.
Improve building efficiency
Efficient lighting, heating and cooling, insulation, shading and equipment scheduling complement solar generation.
Monitor and review
Regular monitoring can reveal changes in production or consumption and help identify faults or opportunities for improvement.
