As renewable energy has become increasingly prominent across the United States, and throughout the state of New York, it has also become apparent that energy storage systems have a large role to play in the future of energy generation and distribution. This is evidenced by New York’s ambitious energy storage targets of 1,500 MW by 2025 and 3,000 MW by 2030.
With the growth of solar power in recent years, energy storage technology will allow for the effective deployment of clean energy moving forward. This is true of both residential and commercial energy consumers throughout New York State. Battery storage can operate on both the level of a small residential property and at the utility-scale level for commercial energy consumption.
East Hampton has established itself as a fantastic proponent of energy storage on Long Island, with two operational utility-scale energy storage facilities in the area. According to Energize East Hampton, each one of these energy storage facilities is capable of powering 5,000 homes for 8 hours. This will be hugely beneficial for East Hampton during peak electricity demand times.
YSG Solar is experienced in the installation of solar-plus-storage energy systems, having operated in the renewable energy sector for over a decade now. This combination of battery storage and solar PV offers an unprecedented level of energy independence and autonomy from the power grid, protecting energy consumers during power outages.
If you are interested in a solar + energy storage system for your property, you’ll be happy to learn that incentives are available to Long Island energy consumers. Both New York State and PSEG-LI can help to offset the cost of an energy storage system with the incentives that are currently available.
