Before you install a battery, you should consider your energy efficiency options first because they will also provide you with demand and energy savings. Energy efficiency paired with solar and energy storage is like installing a larger battery at a lower cost.

They do so by strategically deploying the solar energy you produce at higher priced times. For businesses a battery also decreases the demand charges. For some tax incentives, the battery can only be charged by the solar energy system (or needs at least 75% to be charged by solar). How does a battery know when to charge/discharge the electricity? That depends on what type of battery you get.

We hoped he would have signed the bill a few days earlier, so we could celebrate it more at Solar Power International in Anaheim, but it made for some great news on the last day of SPI.  [Read More](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/blog/governor-brown-extends-energy-storage-sgip-incentives) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/blog/governor-brown-extends-energy-storage-sgip-incentives#comments-listing) Topics: [Battery Backup](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/blog/topic/battery-backup) ## [Stem Partners with SunGreen Systems for Solar + Storage Services](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/blog/stem-partners-with-sungreen-systems-and-urban-energy-solutions-llc-for-solar-storage-energy-services) Posted by [Alex Deeter](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/blog/author/alex-deeter) on Sep 20, 2018 9:10:59 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/hubfs/Stem.webp)](https://solar.sungreensystems.com/blog/stem-partners-with-sungreen-systems-and-urban-energy-solutions-llc-for-solar-storage-energy-services) MILLBRAE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- [Stem, Inc.](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=jy1qqXUD3gZBPHgigSIQjXb0Q7U3o4eU6lNNbge310bU4cNYIW2R5Vl-auPTHhx9JNqmyw8VR_JoZvYJzrpQzQ==) has announced new collaborations with [Urban](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=yrvalLBGmrgAmYbRujoyWzNsWmFeXOAq7oJJ-rTZod_eG_X18DMoLlnZvVSFmeqEBfNwnwxoTSCdsVqJBl97Og==)[ Energy Solutions, LLC](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=u9O_iUl1xuB7J9tc7eWwvD8ZjOi8TOne1q_Ht9dDkQtr_vftQWPfj9PqoG1mioodp_vhvpHweGe6BGa9ai0JS8sbeYtNOkhEGtSs9Lf0jFg=) and [SunGreen Systems](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hNSRymTXoGxVu6VztHTAmAApzIyiKJM86jsR2jMBLtxBLRdJl0zPDUehEbdPUL92FnYrUZwbz8gW73g-GQg2d8aM2wzCn82-eihNLB9d624=) to use Stem’s artificial intelligence (AI), Athena, in intelligent solar + storage solutions in Arizona and California.
