Unlike most homes, commercial buildings pay for energy based on three things: how much energy they use (kWh), how fast they use it (kW), and when they use it (TOU, Time of Use). These additional fees, called “Demand Fees,” are added to your bill during times at which your community’s energy demands are the highest and are typically during normal business hours. Demand fees can make up 20%-70% of your entire monthly electric bill.

So-called “smart” systems have embedded programming to recognize and address complex system functions and to adjust them far faster and more accurately than could be achieved by your building personnel. For example, a smart power control system can selectively take power from on-site storage systems instead of the Utility to limit the cost of energy or can direct when discretionary devices cycle on or off to prevent their loads from "stacking" upon one another.

The Smart Panel is a low cost/high yield device. Because the number and type of electrical systems may vary substantially between businesses, each installation is customized. End-users may opt to purchase the device and the ancillary equipment once the no-obligation site analytics are completed. However, we recommend a lease wherein Levant-Inc absorbs the cost of the equipment, installation, and cloud services in exchange for a lease payment that is well less than the predicted savings.

Once you contact us, Levant will analyze your options at no cost or obligation to you or your business. With a limited amount of intake information, we can help you determine whether a controller alone, a microgrid, or both may be optimal. We will provide you robust analysis to show the merits of each option and to help you choose the right solution. We provide you a comprehensive proposal showing the long term performance of the system, costs and returns, incentives and rebates, and Return on Investment (ROI). Where appropriate, Levant can bring a range of finance options to the table from purchase loans, standard leases, tax leases, and power purchase agreements.

We working with local, regional, and national organizations to capture emerging incentives such as demand response. The controller is uniquely capable of automating these functions and may save businesses many thousands of dollars annually through this method alone.

Levant systems are designed to operate nearly autonomously. While building personnel are offered full access to online portals to view real time system function and may receive alerts specific to their requirements, both the Levant controller and the Levant Microgrids have embedded systems to operate without routine oversight from building personnel. Indeed, our fervent hope is to free building personnel to address other operational matters that require their input.
