Has anyone heard of something called a USES box added to a commercial electrical service to reduce consumption? I tried goggling USES and got nothing but a bazillion references to the word "uses" which was no help. I ask because several of our customers which are connected via the same energy management company have had us install USES boxes (whatever they are) after we have installed PV systems. They are not cheap - ~US$16,000 - and they simply connect to the MDP with a 50A breaker with no output. It sounds like a scam to me but I don't know everything, so I'm asking you guys.
