How Does It Work?
Step 1: Join the Program If you already have a Storage system and want to sell excess power back to the grid, contact us to get started today! It’s very simple.
Step 2: Supply Power to the Grid Once you join the program, you’ll be rewarded for helping the utility company reduce grid load and lower New England’s carbon emissions.
Step 3: Earn Revenue This works similarly to the standard grid sell mode on our inverters, but the difference is that the utility provider will choose when to draw power from your system. They’ll notify you in advance when they need power and take an agreed-upon amount, while your system continues to power your home.
