School buses are primarily used twice per day, five days per week, and otherwise sit unused. The morning operation time (6-8am) is off-peak so it won’t have much impact on the grid to lose some storage at that time, though the afternoon run (2-4pm) would be right in the middle of peak load time, so that might be an issue:
Probably the most sensible thing to do is have the bus batteries offset the school’s own daytime power demand (when all the lights and climate control are operating) and then recharge during off-peak hours.
