Case Study: Agri-Industrial Plastics reduces operating costs with SolarEdge solar-plus-storage

Agri-Industrial Plastics Reduces Operating Costs By 10% with SolarEdge PV

Agri-Industrial Plastics, a large Iowa manufacturer, faced extremely high electricity demand charges from its 24/5 operations. To reduce these costs, the company worked with vendor SolarEdge Technologies on a solution involving solar and energy storage to shave its peak demand.

SolarEdge implemented a rooftop PV system using their inverters and power optimizers, combined with Tesla Powerpack batteries. This solution allowed the customer to reduce its yearly peak load by an average of 6%, leading to an estimated $55,000 in annual utility savings and a payback period of six years. The SolarEdge technology also provided critical safety compliance and increased energy production.
