With no upfront costs, Green Charge’s battery-driven energy storage solution helps large energy users reduce costs associated with peak power demand charges.
Green Charge provides customers with an energy storage platform combining scalable, cloud-based big data analytics software with battery storage systems, all with no capital outlay, as installation and maintenance costs are covered by Green Charge. The system monitors a facility’s electricity usage on a second-by-second basis, storing surplus power in lithium-ion batteries for use when the demand for grid power spikes and prices soar.
The financial savings obtained through energy storage, which, according to the company, represent 20% to 50% of a monthly electric bill, are shared between Green Charge and customers. Green Charge’s portfolio of projects totals more than 45 MWh, with current customers including municipalities, school districts, retailers, industrial facilities, and multi-unit housing.
We strive to provide affordable and scalable energy storage for schools, retail, commercial and industrial businesses, delivering the next frontier in energy savings.
