Battery Storage for Manheim Township's Mixed Grid
Manheim Township's grid runs suburban in some neighborhoods and rural in others, so PPL outages from Lancaster County storms hit some areas harder. A battery stores excess solar for overnight use and provides backup automatically when the grid drops. We size to the household's actual usage pattern, not a generic figure.
