The Demand charge I am familiar with is the Duke Energy's demand charge based on the highest 15 minutes recorded in the monthly cycle . I do not know about FP&L 'S I have heard that utilities in Florida are going to start using Demand Charges like this AND /OR Time of Day on residential customers ! .Also if a customer ( typically one who uses an instaneous electric water heater I.e. 11,000 watts ) blows the transformer THE CUSTOMER pays for the transformer upgrade in all cases by all utilities . FP&L , Duke , and the large utilies in Florida hate residential and commercial solar AND look ALSO for any way to gouge their customers . Any advice on how to overcome Demand Charges and time of day Charges CHEAPLY like the use of timers and or other strategies is important . Sizing adice on batteries and inverters also . Thanks . Gator Tom
