Platform to determine utility bill savings for residential applications
Energy Toolbase has worked with SolarEdge to validate the StorEdge inverter specifications and charge/discharge profile programming instructions on the Energy Toolbase platform. The integration enables users to run a 365-day StorEdge dispatch simulation and determine the optimal mode of operation for how to program the Energy Storage System
(ESS) throughout the year. The implementation of StorEdge into Energy Toolbase will output the optimal fixed schedule
of operations for each unique proposal, based on the homeowner’s load profile, solar PV system specifications being paired, Time-of-use (TOU) utility rate schedule, and Net Energy Metering (NEM) assumptions. With StorEdge implemented
in Energy Toolbase, users can quickly determine the utility
bill savings and project economics of adding StorEdge + LG RESU10H to a project. There is no additional cost for Energy Toolbase users to utilize the feature that simulates StorEdge. The implementation works seamlessly with all of Energy Toolbase’s existing features, including the ability to import interval meter data from any file format or synthetically create a 365-day load profile using the ETB Load Profiler and the ability to create fully customized proposal document templates.

Lithium is the clear incumbent metal in the race to use rechargeable batteries as part of future energy consumption. The paradigm shift is accelerating, and as lithium-ion batteries are more widely used in automobiles and power storage devices, demand is accelerating as well.
