[RE-wrenches] Battery bank during peak times

[Jesse Dahl]

I agree as well, but this is going to be installed at the CO-OPs main office and be an example system for their customers to get info on solar.  Paying the little we pay for electricity, none of their customers will end up with a system of this type, 95% of the time they just grid-tie. A system like this will not be a good rep of why PV systems will look like or cost.  It seems shady to me...

At first they wanted a straight grid-tied system, and after they received the bid they changed their minds and now want a battery based system price. What they want now is a system that will allow them to draw the battery bank down starting at 5pm during their peak demand time. Has anyone worked on or installed a system of this type?
