What is ESS?
Energy Storage System; it is typically composed of an inverter, battery, and transfer switch. It enables the storage of energy for use at different times of day or for backup power
Why does ESS matter in a solar project?
This term affects how energy is stored, shifted, backed up, or valued over time. Storage is where solar stops being only a daytime resource and starts behaving like a controllable asset. Storage often used for backup power - in case the grid goes down, and it's also becoming a more critical part of utility bill savings because of time of use rate plans.
