Renewable Energy Storage

Renewable energy offers great benefits for our environment and country. Many states have mandates in place to introduce significant amounts of renewable power into their power generation mix in the coming years. The leading renewable generation sources are wind and solar, which both have a variable generation profile.

So, what do you do when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining? Or what should be done with renewable power at times when there is more available than what consumers need? Since Steffes heating systems are storage devices, they are a perfect answer. ETS off-peak heating products serve as a “battery” to harness the renewable power when it is available for use in heating as needed.

As more and more renewable power becomes available, it is anticipated that power companies will provide even better electric rates and incentives to consumers who can utilize this power during hours when excess generation is available. Your Steffes heating system will be ready to capture this power and savings.
