Is solar+storage a good option for a critical de-Vice Project?

ogether is worth exploring. Getting an early idea of the power and energy needs of critical de-vices can provide a sense of needed system sizing and help determine if the project’s resilience goals can be feasibly met by solar+storage alone, or if other forms of onsite generation, such as combined heat and power systems and traditional backup gener

What are the metering requirements for solar+storage systems?

pt from these restrictions.METERING REQUIREMENTS: For solar+storage systems designed to participate in net energy metering or other programs where utility bill credits are earned for solar energy produced or exported to the grid, additional meters may be required by the utility to track and verify that only solar energ

How should solar energy capacity be sized?

rating of the solar system. Energy capacity should be sized based on the economics of storing energy versus the cost of additional storage capacity, i.e., the value of additional solar kilowatt-hours directly consumed over the life of the storage system versus the upfront cost of purchasing additional ba tery system kilowatt-hours.
