Abstract
Metropolitan Atlanta, GA is shown to have enough commercial rooftop space and parking lot area to supply over 60% of the annual energy needed for the commercial and industrial energy market under conservative assumptions. In order to fully utilize 60% of solar energy generation, the addition of battery energy storage is needed, otherwise, significant solar energy generation would be curtailed driving up cost and decreasing usefulness. A 1.5 MW peak energy demand customer site is shown to have a 500 kWac photovoltaic system paired with a 500 kWh battery capacity cycled up to two times per day as a feasible solution to supply the dynamic customer load when complement grid energy delivering a firm amount of 500 kWs - 800 kWs seasonally adjusted. Without the solar plus battery storage the seasonal peak energy variation would have been 750 kWs - 1200 kWs.
