Storage VS Utility

“No threat to a traditional utility business model,
. . . would seem to be more clearly defined, than the prospect of a community,
. . . installing a combination of solar panels, and storage,
. . . in order to become independent from the utility grid,
. . . or at least substantially reduce demand.”

“Instead of selling excess solar power back to a utility at the height of the day,
. . . a storage system can store the excess power, and
. . . release it in the evening when rates are usually highest.
That could represent big savings for owners of solar-plus-storage systems, and
. . . an equally large reduction in revenues for utilities.”

Storage creates "Revenue Stacking":
. . . . . . PV, Reduce CO2, (Decrease Energy costs)
. . . . . . MPPT controller (Frequency Regulation),
. . . . . . Improve Power Quality (Pure Sine Wave Inverter),
. . . . . . Reduce Delivery Costs (Reduce Transmission Congestion), and
. . . . . . Shave Peak Demand (Spin/no-Spin Reserve)
. . . . . . Reduce Energy Costs (Self-Consumption),
. . . . . . Emergency Backup Power (Black Start).
