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.

<br><font size="3">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size="3">I was contacted by a local co-op about installing a PV
system at their office. 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?</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size="3">Thanks as always!</font>
<br>
