Construction has begun on a solar energy project at BYD\u2019s Coach & Bus assembly plant here. When fully operational, the project is expected to save the factory more than $100,000 per year in electricity costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will consist of solar panels capable of generating 2 megawatts of electricity, as well as batteries to store that energy. The project was developed by BYD and Apparent Inc., a clean energy management company offering enterprise software and connected hardware products for greater renewable energy integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will give BYD the ability to maintain optimum power levels for manufacturing, while also generating renewable energy on-site. Apparent\u2019s intelligent grid operating system signals the battery system to charge during times of low demand and discharge during peak times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
