Adding energy storage to solar projects has become increasingly key to maximizing solar project value. But storage is different and fundamentally more complicated than solar, adding project risk and potential deployment delays.
But installing energy storage is fundamentally more complicated than solar PV – it’s harder to analyze, deploy, and monetize. Stem offers industry-leading expertise and support to help Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms realize successful solar plus storage projects.
Stem pioneered intelligent energy storage in markets across North America and now operates the world’s largest digitally connected energy storage network. We work closely with solar EPCs, helping them qualify for incentives, navigate application and permitting requirements, and expedite successful installations. We also bring deep expertise with key incentives including Massachusetts’s Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) and New York’s Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) tariff.
Stem's supports hundreds of EPCs and developers in pursuing utility-scale solar and storage projects. Plus, our Partner Content Library provides extensive resources applicable to every stage across the project lifecycle.
The first step in realizing successful projects is accurately modeling revenue streams and system performance. Through designing hundreds of successful projects across many different markets and use cases, Stem brings EPCs the necessary expertise to ensure the design and installation of systems that best fit customer needs.
Energy storage markets can move fast. Some EPCs come to us after past collaborations failed or other providers went out of business. Stem has been delivering successful projects for more than a decade, and energy storage and smart optimization software have always been the heart of our business. We aren’t going anywhere.
Athena is Stem’s smart energy software that optimizes interactions between solar, storage, and the grid. Athena maximizes solar value by analyzing thousands of data points – including solar production, energy demand, and market price forecasts – according to Stem’s proprietary and always-improving algorithms. This delivers more savings to customers and maximizes project ROI.
Featured Case Study: Water Treatment Plant
Prior to Stem, Stockmans had limited exposure to energy storage. Stem helped the company quickly get up the learning curve and land its first major project, a 1.8 MWh energy storage system providing backup power to a water district in San Bernardino County under the California SGIP Equity Resiliency incentive.
