On-site solar + storage
Generate and store renewable energy with a solar and battery storage system at your facility to reduce energy costs, earn incentive payments, and improve corporate sustainability and resilience.
What Is On-Site Solar + Storage?
Solar and battery storage solutions provide flexibility in when and how you use energy
Faced with rising stakeholder demands to reduce their Scope 2 emissions, many organizations are turning to on-site solar energy to replace their grid consumption. By leveraging solar power instead of grid power, they can generate inexpensive energy from a renewable source while decarbonizing day-to-day operations. However, this is not a complete solution, as solar power generation is limited at night or during cloudy days. Rising energy costs are another key concern – these organizations will have to face increasingly high utility bills as utilities across the country roll out expensive programs to modernize their grid.
Turn these challenges into opportunities with an integrated on-site solar and battery storage solution from Enel North America. We can help you increase your facility’s consumption of solar power and enable more energy flexibility so that you can take full advantage of various market and utility flexibility incentives. By leveraging our extensive market access and expertise, you can unlock the full value stack of your system’s benefits.

How It Works
How do solar and battery storage solutions work?
Integrating solar and battery storage amplifies the benefits of both technologies, and organizations can see far greater benefits than with each technology alone. A solar PV system by itself produces intermittent power and sometimes wastes valuable renewable energy when it generates more than is used. A battery energy storage system by itself, when charging from the grid, does not add additional sustainability value.
When paired together, solar and storage assets become both more sustainable and flexible. Instead of charging with grid energy, battery storage assets can charge from solar power when there is generation and discharge the stored solar power when there is no generation. In this way, the integrated solar and storage solution uses all the power generated by renewable sources (boosting sustainability) and replaces grid power with lower-cost solar power (reducing energy costs). Enel’s intelligent optimization software uses advanced machine learning techniques to co-optimize your facility’s solar and storage assets.

Why Enel North America
We are your partner for on-site solar and battery storage
Deep energy markets expertise
Leveraging our 20+ years of experience in demand response and energy market participation, we offer the best market and development expertise to help customers capitalize on the full stacked value of on-site solar and battery storage. We can help you layer on value streams by understanding the participation rules of market-operator and utility-based programs and implementing a co-optimized asset dispatch.
Most efficient solar panels on the market
Enel is supporting the creation of a domestic solar supply chain and accelerating solar adoption by building one of the largest solar manufacturing facilities in the United States – to be located in Inola, Oklahoma. The facility will produce 3 GW and scale up to 6 GW of solar components annually to add to the country’s domestic manufacturing capacity. Our 3Sun panels are the future of solar technology, delivering significant efficiency improvements with a record-breaking certified efficiency of 26.5%.
Industry-leading optimization software
Enel’s proprietary operating platform utilizes market-based pricing signals and manages the operation of battery storage assets to maximize value for the asset owner. Unlike other providers that design dispatch algorithms for peak shaving only, our battery storage software is designed to optimize multiple value streams simultaneously – and is already supporting global markets across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Financially stable, low risk supplier
As a part of The Enel Group, Enel North America has the backing of more than $150 billion in annual revenue and an investment grade credit rating of BBB+ from Fitch for our parent company. Our scale in the energy industry combined with our financial strength enable us to navigate the uncertain supply chain environment, identify the best available hardware solutions, and secure best-in-class terms.
