Are on-site and off-site energy systems a good investment?

Many benefits exist for both on- and off-site systems. On-site systems offer a better return on investment because financial savings are across the entire electricity supply chain – costs associated with energy generation, transmission and distribution, market volatility, and environmental costs.

Do on-site solar systems work everywhere?

However, many on-site systems simply can’t scale large enough to cover full consumption needs, so they typically only cover a percentage of the facility’s needs, relying on traditional electricity to cover the deficit. They also don’t work everywhere as solar and wind resource varies from location to location, as well as incentives and rebates.

How can on-site solar PV & energy storage improve sustainability?

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.

Do off-site solar and wind projects work everywhere?

They also don’t work everywhere as solar and wind resource varies from location to location, as well as incentives and rebates. Large energy consumers are increasingly looking to procure their renewable energy from off-site projects.

What is on-site energy & how does it work?

On-site generation reduces these risks by producing energy directly at the facility, lowering transmission losses and offering the flexibility to operate in tandem with or independently from the grid. What’s Driving The Shift To On-Site Energy? There are several factors contributing to the widespread adoption of distributed generation, including:

What are on-site renewables?

First, let’s define each. On-site renewables, aka direct, are “behind the meter” systems at a specific location, providing energy on-demand or via on-site storage (i.e., batteries). These are typically financed, owned, and managed by the company themselves.
