Knowledge is Power

SolarCity's PowerGuide technology constantly measures and displays how electricity is used throughout your operation. Understanding your energy usage patterns can help you save money by informing smarter choices on how and when you use electricity.

Utility prices vary greatly based on your rate plan and change over time. Your company's electricity usage patterns will also change as your business grows. For instance, if you add a second shift or buy a new piece of equipment, your current rate plan may no longer be the best option. SolarCity will analyze your company's electricity patterns each year and recommend the optimal utility rate plan.

Save Thousands of Dollars

Studies show that you can save 5-15% on energy costs when you have immediate feedback on your energy consumption. You can identify spikes in your electricity usage that trigger costly peak-demand charges from the utility company and adjust your operations to lower your costs.

You can also quantitatively test the impact of an energy-intensive activity to make an informed recommendation before rolling out the process across the company. Managing your ongoing energy consumption plus recommendations from SolarCity can save you thousands of dollars over time.
