Energy Storage

Solutions

Energy storage technologies have experienced a number of recent innovations that have driven down their cost of implementation. While solar production offsets energy usage over time, batteries allow you to store this energy for times when the sun isn’t shining so that your peak demand is lower. These demand charges can account for over half of your electricity bill each month and batteries can help reduce those charges.

See How It Works

Demand Charge Savings

Demand charges can account for up to 50% of your electricity bill, based on the most intense 15-minute spike in usage each month. Energy storage reduces usage spikes and demand charges with no upfront cost to our customers.

Load Shifting

Electricity is more expensive during peak periods when demand is highest. Energy storage allows you to shift your consumption to off-peak periods when electricity is least expensive.

Backup Power and Resiliency

Storage systems can provide backup power to your facility. Stored energy is charged by the solar system and can be reserved for emergency operations.

Financial Flexibility

Our access to capital, strong financial relationships, and proven track record allow us to customize energy solutions that make the most sense.

How It Works

Energy storage can reduce your demand charges by shifting load to times of day when electricity is cheaper.

Community Solar

Solutions

Your public or private sector organization can become a clean energy powerhouse, hosting a local Community Solar project that lowers your utility bills while producing clean, renewable energy that benefits your community. Become a Community Solar producer and save money on electricity, with no upfront costs and flexible terms.

Save On Electricity

Your share of the Community Solar project's electrical output is for the length of your service agreement. You pay no money down and can start saving money right away.

Support Your Community

As the host of a Community Solar project, you benefit directly from the electricity it provides, while supporting local businesses, public institutions, and residents who are unable to develop solar on their own land and want to share in the benefits of clean, renewable, low-cost solar energy. By hosting a Community Solar project, you are enabling the American clean energy transition, supporting energy equity, and fueling job creation.

How it Works

A Community Solar project can be developed on public or private land, providing power to the surrounding community and eliminating the space constraints and other limitations of on-site solar energy. It does all this while providing direct environmental benefits for the locality.

Ground Mount

Solutions

If you have available land at your facility or nearby, ground mounted systems offer great value and economies of scale. Each system is customized for your site based on the local environment, orientation, and electrical design.

See How It Works

Best Value

Ground-mounted solar is the best value per watt compared to other installation methods. Installation, including materials and labor, is typically cheaper than roof mounted or parking canopy solutions due to economy of scale benefits.

Optimized Electricity Generation

Ground mounted systems are not limited by the slope of your roof or size of your parking lot, allowing customized panel tilt to maximize electricity production. These solutions also offer more flexibility with the site layout and row spacing. Solar trackers, which automatically adjust module tilt throughout the day, may also be good candidates for your site.

Sustainability

Beyond the benefit of electricity savings, solar can help your organization meet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals as you participate in clean energy while helping your state and community climb towards renewable energy targets.

Targeted Expertise

Our team has more than a decade of renewable industry experience, serving business, public sector, and wholesale power customers around the world.

See How It Works

Covered Parking

Our solar canopies provide shade and protection from the elements for cars and people.

Expert Project Management

Our experienced project team ensures that installation is fast and easy, customized to meet the demands of your site.

LED Lighting and Security

We custom tailor canopy lighting to meet your goals. In addition to the security of the lighting at night, our team can also integrate security cameras to protect your lot.

Parking Canopy Solutions

Parking canopies with solar are a great fit if you have outdoor parking spaces available at your facilities. In addition to providing affordable, clean energy, canopies also provide shade, protection from the elements for cars and people, community visibility, and the ability to scale beyond any roof or land limitations your facilities may have.

Great For:

  • Business
  • Government
  • Schools
  • Retail

Rooftop Solar

Rooftop solar allows you to take advantage of a major asset that may be going unused: your roof. Rooftop solar with ballasted racking keeps costs down while minimizing potential roof modifications. In areas with minimal seismic requirements and wind loads, you may be able to install rooftop solar without penetrations. Where roof penetrations are necessary to secure the system, we utilize noninvasive positive attachments and maintain roof warranties.

Great For:

  • Businesses
  • Government
  • Schools
  • Manufacturing
  • Distribution Centers
  • Retail
Learn More

Community Solar

Through community solar programs in several U.S. states, businesses, schools, municipalities, and household electricity consumers can all take part in solar energy, even if you lease your facilities or lack rooftop space.

This energy sourcing method allows your facilities to subscribe to a portion of the output from a solar project in your area. In return, your company will receive savings on your electricity bill, while also supporting local solar development.

Great For:

  • Urban Businesses
  • Sports Facilities
  • Universities
  • Hospitals
  • Retail
  • Home Owners or Renters

Energy Storage

Storage maximizes the value of your solar power by helping you save more on your electricity bill. Each month commercial and industrial customers pay not only for the energy they use (measured in kilowatt-hours, or kWh), but also for the peak demand fees their utility charges (measured in kilowatts, or kW). If your peak demand spikes just once during the month, your demand charges may increase dramatically, accounting for 50% or more of your total bill.

While solar production offsets your energy usage over time, batteries allow you to store the energy your solar system produces for times when the sun isn’t shining, reducing your peak demand, and thus, your peak demand charges. Similar to solar energy systems, our storage offering is available without upfront capital costs.

Great For:

  • High Peak Load Businesses
  • Critical Facilities
  • Schools

Rooftop Solar

Solutions

Roof-mounted solar leverages your most underused asset: the roof above you. Our team understands your desire to both minimize roof penetrations and dead load, while also emphasizing quality and cost. We constantly evaluate many solutions on the market and will determine the racking solution that best meets each site situation, while financing the project to offer you the benefits of solar with no upfront cost.

See How It Works

Maintain Roof Warranty

Having completed a wide variety of projects on existing rooftops, our team works with roofing manufacturers on every project to ensure installation compliance. Any racking ballast pans can be installed with slip sheets to protect the underlying membrane and maintain roof warranty.

Minimize Penetrations

Our ballasted racking, combined with non-invasive positive attachments, is easy and quick to install, reducing labor time and contributing directly to the project’s favorable economics. Yet the technology doesn’t substitute quality for ease. The racking is made of rugged aluminum and is non-corrosive and durable in all weather conditions.

Sustainability

Beyond the benefit of electricity savings, rooftop solar can help your organization meet environmental goals as your installation brings more renewable energy to the grid while also helping your state and community climb towards renewable energy targets.

Local Impact

ForeFront Power strives to serve the local economy by employing local contractors for our renewable energy projects around the United States.

According to The Solar Foundation, the U.S. solar industry employs over 250,000 workers.
