ETB Masterclass: Optimizing the Economics of C&I Solar + Storage Projects
Important findings from a rigorous, months-long analysis where we studied the economics of solar + storage projects on every C&I (commercial and industrial) utility rate tariff in California’s Investor-Owned Utility (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) territories.
Accurately Calculate the "Avoided Cost" of A Solar Project
This free course covers how to precisely calculate the dollar savings (aka avoided cost) of a solar project using Energy Toolbase.
How to Use Green Button Data to Analyze Solar + Storage Project Scenarios
In this webinar, co-hosted by UtilityAPI & Energy Toolbase. We will review and demonstrate the value of Green Button Data (aka interval meter data) for use in Distributed Energy Resource project development activities.
California C&I Energy Storage Market - State of the Union
This course explores the dynamics influencing the California C&I solar + storage market in 2022. We reviewed the headwinds and tailwinds we’re seeing in the market today, drawing from data that we’ve compiled from internal and external sources.
Accurately Modeling the Economics of Customer Sited Energy Storage Projects
This lecture demonstrates how to accurately, objectively, and transparently
C&I Energy Storage Market in 2021: Identifying the Best Projects
Identify the characteristics of the most attractive commercial & industrial (C&I) energy storage projects, including rate tariffs, incentives, and load profile types. Plus, how developers and host customers can best capture the other ESS value streams
Modeling Time-of-use Rates & the Quantifying the Value of Solar
This course will explore in depth how to model solar projects on Time-of-use (TOU) rates, and how they effect the 'value of solar' calculation.
Future-proofing Solar PV savings with Energy Storage
This course covers an overview of the "future-proofing solar savings" concept. The changes being proposed and implemented depend on state and utility territory, but the one general commodity that most share is that they typically erode the savings
NEM Paired Storage: Why it Matters
We unpack the mechanics of how exactly NEM Paired Storage works, and illustrate the added value it can provide for both Residential & Commercial solar + storage projects.
Self-Consumption: model & optimize energy storage in self-powered mode
This course will review the concept of modeling and optimizing energy storage in self-powered mode within the Energy Toolbase platform.
