Manufacturing is typically a 24-7 operation......
My company had an electric bill running to 6 digits Monthly.
And that was about a decade ago.. Must be higher by now!
I know battereies are $$$. Currently (no pun intended) it it tough to get around that.
But other schemes for trasfer of power have been tried.
One idea was to pump water up a BIG hill. Do so late at night when power rates were the lowest.
Than during 'peak demand' time? Release the water to spin turbines to provide peak power. This power is recovered at far higher rate than it took to 'store' the energy. Net Plus.
Link to the proposal for Lake Elsinore which is just up the road....sort of.
It may be technically feasible to use battery storage in your house. Use peak solar to defer power to peak deamnd times..
Of course? It is illegal to go off grid. You are a rate paying Prisoner of Sempra. And when we get to Net Metering 3, you will be charged a fixed momthly based on installed capacity. And they'll probably go the 'indiana' route and charge retail and pay wholesale for power you put in the grid.
Too much is never enough
