Facility owners seeking to reduce their operating costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and build resiliency at their facilities can benefit from installing onsite renewable energy generation and onsite energy storage systems.

When adequately sized and controlled, these systems can provide facilities with a way to reduce demand charges, reduce electricity use during peak time-of-use rates, avoid utility export limitations, and operate during grid outages. 

This fact sheet is part of a series to provide technical recommendations resulting from the discussion among Better Climate Challenge partners, allies, and Department of Energy experts (DOE). DOE  convened more than 20 partners to identify and highlight ongoing issues and opportunities when planning and deploying onsite renewable energy systems and energy storage systems.
