News HelioPower Formally Launches Storage Solutions Practice HelioPower is pleased to announce the formal launching of its energy storage practice, providing complete energy solutions for home and business. MURRIETA, Calif.—March 2, 2016—HelioPower, Inc. is pleased to announce the formal launch of its innovative energy storage solution practices to provide complete, sustainable energy solutions for residential and commercial clients. Residential energy storage and commercial energy storage are driven by different factors and use cases, but both offer potential cost savings and energy autonomy. HelioPower's storage practice brings together energy analytics, project finance, engineering, construction and asset management services in customized solutions for clients. “I’ve always been a proponent of energy autonomy and the installation of my energy storage system is a significant milestone in my sustainability program to reduce energy costs.” Said Jay Marsh, a homeowner and HelioPower customer. Today, the most common form of energy storage is based on some form of battery storage. With HelioPower’s integrated turnkey energy solutions, the Marsh residence was able to complete their renewable energy initiative on time and on budget. HelioPower’s mission is to work with clients to find the most cost-effective solution to all their energy needs whether solar electricity, solar thermal, home storage, backup generators, energy efficient equipment, whole house fans, or smart thermostats. For commercial energy storage, HelioPower provides emergency generators, energy efficiency systems and commercial energy management software through PredictEnergyTM, to cut expensive demand charges on utility bills. One example would be the successful installation of an energy storage system at Blisterpak, Inc. By combining the energy storage system with PredictEnergyTM and solar PV provided by HelioPower, the facility saves both on energy and demand, thereby maximizing the savings. “HelioPower was chosen because of the company’s long-standing reputation for delivering and installing high-quality and reliable products,” said Steve Mattis, President of Blisterpak, Inc. a manufacturer of thermoformed packaging and distributor of heat sealing machines. “Moreover,” Mr. Mattis said, “they offer an assurance of long-term service and guaranteed performance. HelioPower is helping its customers, like Blisterpak, take control of their expensive utility bill by installing energy storage systems and solar PV.” HelioPower’s energy analytics and load profiling tools, along with their distributed generation strategies for energy autnomy demonstrate their capabilities in tackling tough challenges that provide maximum relief to high energy costs. About HelioPower, Inc. HelioPower Energy Solutions is an integrated energy solutions company based in Murrieta, California. The company helps its clients reduce energy costs and develop energy assets by leveraging renewable energy products and services, demand side management, and return on investment strategies for clients in the U.S. and abroad.
