Traditionally, businesses have used energy storage as a backup source of power. But now, energy storage can be utilized in numerous ways at the same time. This is called value stacking and can yield businesses tens of thousands of dollars.

This helps utilities avoid the use of polluting and expensive peaker plants and saves money for utilities and their customers.
