Investing in EV Charging and Onsite Renewables*
Explore electrification, electric vehicle (EV) charging and solar solutions to decrease costs and energy consumption, capture utility incentives, reduce exposure to community pricing and lower
To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.
If a utility restricts the exports from a facility to the grid, the use of on-site storage alongside solar PV can provide a solution to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, thus increasing the feasibility of larger on-site PV installations.
For the scenario represented in the graph, an on-site solar PV system allows the facility to reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid during the middle of the day. Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities.
On-site power generation, also known as distributed generation, is the production of electricity at or near the point where it's consumed. Instead of relying entirely on electricity transmitted from a central power grid, businesses use their own equipment to generate some or all of their energy needs locally.

Rooftop solar remains one of the most accessible and cost-effective ways to generate on-site power, particularly for facilities with high daytime energy usage. These systems can typically
As SE-EVCSs are of quickly increasing importance, this study developed a generic approach using GIS and MCDM to identify optimal locations for SE-EVCSs. A systematic literature
In Figure 5, the addition of thermal energy storage (TES) allows the facility to use the on-site solar PV to charge both the TES and BES instead of exporting to the grid or curtailing the excess
On-site solar refers to the installation of solar energy systems directly at the location where the energy will be used, such as homes, businesses, or institutions.
