Bluesky Energy, Inc.

BlueSky Energy is dedicated to facilitating technologies for residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental entities seeking the benefits of energy conservation and is often referred to as the “least-cost” energy strategy, and for good reason. Reducing consumption of energy in homes does more than just save money; it also reduces the costs associated with today’s numerous environmental and social challenges.

The cost of energy is expected to experience a dramatic increase over the next decade and beyond. Investing in solar today allows you to lock in your energy costs now despite the increase that will be experienced by non solar supplemented businesses. Cash rebates, tax credits and an accelerated depreciation schedule can provide your company with an immediate return on investment.

The benefits of a commercial solar system extend well beyond a reduction of your carbon footprint. A commercial solar system provides fixed cost energy pricing for your business via a clean, renewable, locally generated source. In as little as one year, your solar system can pay for itself through lucrative tax benefits available only to commercial customers.

Solar batteries work by converting the DC energy being produced by your solar panels and storing it as AC power for later use. In some cases, solar batteries have their own inverter and offer integrated energy conversion. The higher your battery’s capacity, the more solar energy it can store.

Unlike residential consumers, who are charged primarily for their kWh (energy) consumption, larger electricity consumers must also pay demand charges on a kW (power) basis. To calculate the demand charge of a facility, the utility notates the highest average 15 minute period during a billing cycle. This is a surcharge on top of standard kWh rates and often times is a substantial portion of the total bill. Bluesky Energy Mitigates these charges head on and helping clients save considerable amount of Money.

Peak-load shifting is applied to reduce energy costs, it is often referred to as “peak shaving.” Peak shaving describes when a facility uses a local energy storage system to compensate for the facility’s large energy consumption during peak hours of the day. Most facilities do not operate 24 hr/day. In fact, most facilities do not even operate most of the day. By charging an energy storage system during the off hours of the day and discharging it during the operational hours, the peak demand charge from the utility can be reduced.
