Another benefit to solar + battery storage in Massachusetts

Going solar with battery storage in Massachusetts just got even more rewarding. We’ve partnered with National Grid to operate the summer rewards program called National Grid ConnectedSolutions. This program will help alleviate grid strain in the summer as home battery owners use and share stored solar energy when demand is highest.

What you’ll get

• The benefits of solar + battery storage (an elevated home, greater energy independence, and more)
• A $250-400 VISA Gift Card in December following every summer you participate for five years
• The gratification of supporting your community by reducing grid strain and the need for fossil fuel plants

Use & share stored power

Your battery will send power to your home and (when available) to the grid on days when there is high demand in the summer seasons. This will unlock potential savings on your summer National Grid energy bills relative to keeping all energy for backup.

Keep power for backup

On days when your home uses and shares stored power, you’ll keep 20% of your battery capacity for backup. And–in the event of an outage–all energy in your battery will be available to you for use.

Get rewarded & stay flexible

Receive a $250-400 VISA Gift Card in December following every summer you participate. Enroll for as little or as long as the program is active– you can opt out any time.

How to enroll

New customers in Massachusetts National Grid service territory will be enrolled during signing.

If you signed up to go solar before May 2019, please email grid@sunrun.com to request enrollment. If you’d like to get started going solar with battery storage or have questions not listed below, give us a call.

The program is limited to customers served by the utility company National Grid in Massachusetts. Eligible Sunrun customers are opted-in to participate in the program when they sign up to go solar with battery storage. Sunrun is currently unable to add a battery to existing home solar systems.

The program lasts for five years, but you can opt out at any time email grid@sunrun.com. Your participation will start once your system is installed, activated, and starts sending energy to your home or to the grid. National Grid may choose to extend this program after five years.

If you participate, for the next five summers (at a maximum of 60 times per summer), your battery will send power to your home and (when additional energy is available) to the grid when there is high demand in the summer seasons (3pm to 8pm from June 1st – September 30th).

Yes. On most days, your battery will keep all stored power for backup. On the days of high demand when you use or share stored power, your home battery will always reserve at least 20% capacity for backup needs. In the event of a power outage, all energy in your battery system will be available to you.

Yes, you can opt out any time by emailing Sunrun’s Grid Services team at grid@sunrun.com. If you opt out of the ConnectedSolutions program, you will no longer receive the VISA gift card incentive.
