CTECHI, a leading innovator in the energy sector, is revolutionizing the way buildings harness solar energy and manage their power consumption. Their state-of-the-art Home Energy Storage System, powered by cloud-based software, seamlessly integrates solar power with existing energy systems. It strategically controls and optimizes various systems, such as heating and lighting, reducing both direct and indirect energy costs.
By actively interacting with a building's RTU, solar system, batteries, lighting equipment, and more, CTECHI's system optimizes energy consumption, minimizing peak demands and time-of-use charges. Each system is only activated when deemed necessary by building administrators and the intelligent software, all controlled through a user-friendly remote access control panel.
What sets CTECHI apart is its advanced machine learning capabilities. The Home Energy Storage System learns and adapts to how occupants use energy in the building, continually aiming to reduce energy consumption over time. It also takes factors like building utilization rates, solar output trends, and weather patterns into account to predict future energy needs effectively.
Curious about battery energy storage? Here's more information:
What is Battery Energy Storage? Battery Energy Storage systems work in conjunction with solar panels (or other renewable resources like wind turbines) to store generated electricity for use at optimal times. These commercial batteries are rechargeable and can perform advanced functions such as peak shaving and load shifting.
Peak Shaving involves reducing energy consumption during high-demand periods, whether on a daily or seasonal basis. It's a significant way to lower electricity costs, and battery storage systems excel at this.
Load Shifting redistributes power consumption from one time period to another. Both techniques are powerful ways to cut utility bills and can be accomplished using battery energy storage systems.
How Does Battery Energy Storage Work? Peak shaving and load shifting are achieved through a straightforward process. First, the battery charges by collecting clean, renewable energy from sources like solar or wind. Advanced algorithms within the battery system then coordinate when to allocate energy to the building based on past usage history and other factors like weather conditions or the time of day. Finally, the stored energy is released when your devices have the highest power demands.
Key Benefits: Storing On-Site Power and Reducing Grid Dependence Excess energy generated by renewable systems, such as solar panels, can be stored in batteries for later use, reducing reliance on utility providers and ultimately lowering your electricity bills.
Emergency Power with Battery Backup Batteries provide an ideal solution for ensuring backup power during emergencies. If your power goes out, batteries can guarantee temporary power availability, which is especially crucial for larger server spaces or businesses heavily reliant on technology.
Moreover, if your system charges using renewable energy, commercial batteries may qualify for the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), significantly improving the return on investment by offsetting substantial utility charges for electricity demand. In the near future, investment tax credits for energy storage may become applicable as well.
