As we have seen with the dangerous combination of extreme weather and grid failures, having a resilient power supply is a tremendous asset. Until recently, batteries were primarily used for off-grid solar projects in remote areas that don\u2019t have access to power from the utility. As energy storage technologies improve and costs come down, storage is becoming a viable option for buildings in New York City. In addition to providing emergency power, adding battery back-up to solar projects allows large energy consumers to further decrease their electricity bills by lowering demand charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar One received U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding to implement&nbsp;<em>The Solar Power and Battery Back-up Program for Community Facilities.<\/em>&nbsp;The project is funded through the NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program of the Governor\u2019s Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR). This program has enabled several non-profit community centers to generate solar energy throughout the year, maintain critical operations for emergency response and serve as a community power hub during severe weather events and grid outages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Pairing solar with battery back-up (aka energy storage) can provide your building with clean, reliable power and energy savings that can also ensure continuous access to power in the event of a grid outage.
