“For C&I customers seeking behind-the-meter solutions for energy cost savings, carbon savings, and added resiliency, linear generators offer clear advantages compared with other DER options.”
Easy Integration with Onsite Solar
The full dispatchability of Mainspring products allows them to easily integrate with onsite solar and energy storage, while following and matching power output with building demand. Linear Generators ramp up when solar is not available and ramp down to optimize use of the renewables when they’re actively producing. In many cases, a large rooftop solar array, tracked and firmed by Mainspring products, can cover the entire power needs of a facility. Excess solar produced can be exported to the grid.
“Mainspring’s linear generator technology has allowed our business to manage electricity expenses better and lower its carbon footprint. We have already begun adopting this technology at other locations to expand this program.”
