Think of solar panels on our rooftops or in our car parks, generators behind our buildings, or battery storage units humming away
Onsite solar is an asset located where the renewable energy generated will also be consumed. There are three main types of onsite solar: rooftop, ground-mount, and carport.
Reduce utility costs, achieve energy independence and meet sustainability goals with renewable on-site solar power–and even sell surplus energy back to the grid.
The U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs) help American industrial and other large energy users lower costs, install onsite energy

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.
If a utility restricts the exports from a facility to the grid, the use of on-site storage alongside solar PV can provide a solution to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, thus increasing the feasibility of larger on-site PV installations.
For the scenario represented in the graph, an on-site solar PV system allows the facility to reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid during the middle of the day. Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities.
Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities. However, the additional generation that can result from larger systems during peak daylight hours must be exported or managed through curtailment on-site.
