More of a Good Thing: Adding a Battery to Your Solar

Are you an APS customer? Install SolarEdge Energy Hub with Energy Bank battery backup and get paid to help APS work towards a
greener, cleaner grid. Participate in one of APS’ pilot options below to maximize your incentive and get paid up to $3,750* in combined incentives.

Data Only

Receive up to $2,500*
Allow APS to monitor your battery performance.

Data + Battery Management

Receive an added $1,250
Allow APS to use stored energy during high demand

* $500 per installed kW, up to $2,500 per home, limit of one incentive per household

Data + Battery Management: How It Works

During regular system usage: your home runs on energy produced by your solar system and complements it with power from the battery and/or the grid.

During an event: your battery will discharge at the pilot’s maximum allowed power, leaving you with enough storage in case of an outage.
Meanwhile, you’ll still be able to source energy from the grid to keep the entire household running, uninterrupted.

After an event: your solar system will automatically recharge your battery after the event ends.
