Bidirectional Charging and Electric Vehicles for Mobile Storage
A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external load (discharge) when it is paired with a similarly capable EVSE. Bidirectional vehicles can provide backup power to buildings or specific loads, sometimes as part of a microgrid, through vehicle to building (V2B
Battery Storage
Batteries can supply you with backup power. The length of time your system can provide backup power is based on the size of the battery and the amount of power you need. A battery storage system paired with solar can help power devices for days. Your storage provider can help you assess how long a battery is expected to last.
Battery storage for homeowners
Bill saving. A battery storage system lets you store excess solar energy generated during the day. You can use this excess energy during peak hours, when electricity is most expensive. This reduces the typical customer''s electric bill, but doesn''t factor in the cost of leasing or purchasing the battery. Learn more about our Time-of-Day rate.
