In contrast, behind-the-meter (BTM) systems refer to electric-generating and storage systems (such as solar and battery storage) that are connected to the distribution system on the customer''s side of the meter. Energy that a facility receives from behind-the-meter solutions bypasses the electric meter, hence "behind the meter."
In contrast, behind the meter battery installations often must take into consideration the structure of the distribution utility service cost schedule (tariff). This is true because most entities with loads large enough to consider battery storage most likely face specific charges for their maximum usage measured over a short period of time (15
