Energy Solutions for Resorts & Hotels

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Briggs & Stratton Enegy Solutions help maximize the investment we’ve made in renewable energy?

A growing number of hotels and resort properties are generating some or all of their electricity on-site with solar PV or other renewable energy installations. Our energy storage solutions enable hotels and resorts to take renewable energy one step further by storing excess energy for use at night or during prolonged inclement weather. We also eliminates the unpredictability and intermittency often associated with renewable energy supply. Plus, in grid-tied locations, pairing behind-the-meter energy storage with renewable generation can double energy savings.

Can Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions help reduce our utility bills?

With Briggs & Straton Energy Solutions, hotels can charge batteries when the cost of energy is less expensive and access that reserve to offset costs when electricity demand and rates spike, such as guests turning on their air conditioners on a hot day or when they return to their room in the evening. By limiting a hotel’s need to rely on grid power when it’s likely most expensive and reducing short-term usage spikes, we're able to help hotels reduce their exposure to significant peak demand charges, which can account for as much as 50 percent of their utility bill.

We aren’t able to rely on the local grid for power. How can Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions help?

Are your lithium-ion batteries safe for a guest environment?

When comparing lithium-ion storage alternatives, the element to avoid is cobalt. Our cobalt-free lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) chemistry is environmentally benign, non-toxic and does not pose a danger of thermal runaway. Without the threat of fire danger or toxicity, our batteries are safe for hotel guests and your property.
