A Rep's Guide to Intelligent System Design: Perform a surgical strike on high bills, not a total energy offset.
A massive fee based on your single highest 30-minute power spike during on-peak hours.
☀️ Summer (May-Oct):
2:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Weekdays
❄️ Winter (Nov-Apr):
5:00 AM - 9:00 AM & 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM, Weekdays
We don't aim for 100% offset. We target expensive power and buy cheap power.
Your Design Formula:
(Homeowner's On-Peak %) + (15% Buffer) = Target Offset %
Example: 30% On-Peak Usage + 15% Buffer = 45% Total Offset
Generates power to run the home and charge the battery.
Discharges during peak hours to block demand charges.
Provides cheap off-peak power to charge the battery as a backup.
To win in the afternoon, you need afternoon power.
SOUTH & WEST FACING: Gold Standard & On-Peak Killer
EAST FACING: Avoid for this strategy
The "Solar + Battery Tag-Team"
2PM - 5PM
West/South panels provide real-time power. Battery stays full.
5PM - 8PM
Sun sets, battery seamlessly takes over. Grid demand stays near zero.
The "Battery is the MVP"
5AM - 9AM
Battery powers morning routine. Zero grid usage.
9AM - 5PM
Sun refills the battery for the evening shift.
5PM - 9PM
Battery takes over again for the second danger zone.
LATE NIGHT
System tops off battery with cheap grid power, ensuring it's 100% ready by 5AM.
