[Really just one of the functions an Eco-Nomad would serve to a small
cluster of houses. Perhaps another marketing point for ACPI.

Salt River Project and APS tap into microstorage to save
Residents of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area in the Salt River
Project and Arizona Public Service territories now have access to more
than a dozen residential Phazr microstorage projects.
Within the Salt River Project territory, peak demand charges can be
avoided by residents taking advantage of energy storage to shave peaks
when demand spikes.
According to a company release, demand charges are calculated on the
most intense 30-minute period of energy use during the monthly billing
cycle.
In Arizona Public Services territory, the challenge is time-of-use
charges – however, Arizona Public Services charges more for energy used
during peak hours of the late afternoon and evening, when people are at
home relying on the grid.
These customers use energy storage for what is called, “consumer
self-supply.”
The microstorage, installed by JLM Energy, includes software which
optimises and controls when the solar energy should go into the
batteries, directly into the home for immediate use, or back to the grid
for net metering credit.
According to JLM Energy, the "algorithms in the software are set to make
the best deal for the customer based on their energy use profile and
utility tariff structure. The user-friendly interface makes it easy for
customers to track their energy use, savings and expenditures with
second-by-second data."
Farid Dibachi, CEO of JLM Energy says that the product "optimises solar
production by discharging power at the most valuable time. Not only can
customers save money, they can protect their investment with the ability
to adjust to any future rate change the utility makes.”
“We are absolutely focused on the satisfaction of our early customers
and ensuring that they have a positive customer experience,” said Dibachi.
