Home Battery Proposal

Keep the lights on.
And let Connecticut help pay for it.

Check your address for the state's incentives, tell us what you want kept running, and see every battery we install priced for your home. It takes a few minutes and there is nothing to sign until you are ready.

Where is it going?

Have your electric bill? Upload it and we fill this in for you.

A PDF, or photos of each page from your phone. We read your name, address, account and meter number and your last year of usage, and you check it over before we use any of it.

Up to 4 pages. Your bill is kept private and only used for your proposal.

Your address decides your incentive. Homes on a constrained part of the grid get $130 per kWh off instead of $30, and this is the only way to know which you are.

Start typing and pick your address from the list. We check it against the state program as soon as you do.

How the money works

Get paid to help the grid

Connecticut pays homeowners to keep batteries ready for the grid's busiest hours. Here is how it works.

1

Money off before you start

The state's Energy Storage Solutions program pays an up-front incentive for every kWh of storage. It comes straight off your price, and the program pays it to us, so you never wait for it.

2

Then it pays you, for ten years

On the grid's busiest afternoons, the program calls on your battery to share some of its stored energy, and pays you for every one of those events for ten years.

3

About 55 events a year

Around 50 between June and September and a handful in winter, usually 1 to 3 hours each, between 3 and 9 p.m. Your battery handles it on its own. There is nothing for you to do.

4

Never before a storm

Events are called off ahead of predicted severe weather, so your battery is full when you might need it most.

5

Paid twice a year

Your utility pays you after the summer season and after the winter season. We show it as a monthly average so you can set it beside a loan payment. What you are paid depends on the power your battery delivers during events.

6

We do the paperwork

We file the application and the commissioning paperwork the program needs, so the up-front money comes off your price and the payments reach you.
