When the plant is inactive, such as holidays, the stored solar energy will provide power during periods of insufficient or inconsistent sunlight. Renewable energy collected by the solar panels directly feeds the energy-efficient microgrid, helping power the plant. Projected energy cost savings are approximately $160,000 per year.
