Power Outages and Building Resilience with Distributed AssetsUtility outages – both planned and unplanned – are becoming more frequent and more costly due to our aging electric grid and natural gas infrastructure. The disastrous blackouts in Texas and throughout the Southern US are just some of the most recent examples. Distributed, customer-sited energy storage systems are the most cost-effective way to build customer resilience for businesses and homeowners, and can be installed as standalone backup power solutions, or integrate with solar generation, or even with fuel-based generators to extend fuel reserves through days or weeks of a power outage. When conditions are normal and the grid is operational, these flexible energy storage systems also provide several economic benefits as well, from peak shaving to offsetting time of use (TOU) utility charges daily. With Briggs & Stratton’s scalable UL-certified energy storage solutions, adding resilient backup power has never been easier! Join us as we discuss benefits, features, options, and frequently asked questions about maximizing, integrating and retrofitting energy storage for homes and businesses. If you are an installer considering energy storage as an offering – then sign up today! This training will cover:
