GridLynQ for indoor cultivation
No bank loans. No federal tax-credit red tape. Zero upfront capex.
Growers are often turned away by banks and shut out of federal clean-energy credits. Under our Shared Avoided-Cost model, GridLynQ funds, owns and maintains a 0.5 MW+ battery through a project-level entity, shaves your lighting and HVAC peaks, and splits the verified monthly demand savings with you.

Extreme peak bills
Lights-on transitions and HVAC cycles set punishing demand peaks. The battery covers them.
Crop-loss risk
A power interruption mid-cycle can cost a harvest. Critical loads stay on battery.
No capital required
On the Host lease GridLynQ funds, owns, insures and maintains the system.
Shared Avoided-Cost model
How Shared Avoided-Cost works
Step 1
Baseline demand peak
When flower-room lights and chillers fire up, demand charges can run high — illustratively $25–$45 per kW on some tariffs.
Step 2
Automated dispatch
The battery discharges during peak billing windows to flatten the profile your utility meter sees.
Step 3
Verified bill reduction
Savings are measured against your baseline from utility interval data each month.
Step 4
Net cash-flow win
You keep your agreed share of the avoided demand cost — no debt and no equipment on your balance sheet.
Step 5
Built-in backup
Critical loads ride through power blinks and outages to protect flowering rooms, where backup is included.

Modelled estimate
Where the value comes from
Peak shaving
The battery discharges when lighting and HVAC stack up, lowering the kW your utility bills you for.
Time-of-use shifting
Charge when power is cheap, then supply your photoperiod load during expensive hours.
Utility program revenue
Where your utility runs demand-response or capacity programs, the battery can enroll. Host lease: shared after payback. Licensed Host: you keep it.
Modelled estimate only, not an offer or guarantee. Actual benefits depend on site load, utility rates and program availability, and are confirmed after a site review. Utility program revenue applies only where your utility offers it.
