Incentive amounts vary by utility and program eligibility.
During regular use, your home uses energy from your PV system and complements it with energy from your battery and/or the grid.
During a peak demand event, your battery discharges at the maximum supported power. If your home needs more energy than your solar and battery can provide, you can still use the grid.
After the event ends, your battery recharges from your PV system. During a blackout, your battery can help keep the lights on.
To participate, your system must be installed, have received PTO, and be connected to the SolarEdge Monitoring portal.
*Program operations and incentives may vary depending on your offer from the utility. Check with your utility for more information.
ConnectedSolutions is a utility program which incentivizes customers to share energy to the grid when the New England electric grid needs it.
Customers are paid on a performance basis for the average kW they generate from their storage during dispatch events. To learn about the ConnectedSolutions program in detail, please visit National Grid MA, Eversource MA (east), Eversource MA (west), Rhode Island Energy or Cape Light Compact MA.
If you own a SolarEdge inverter that is connected to the SolarEdge monitoring platform, you should submit the application and your utility will evaluate your eligibility.
Your system can be dispatched up to 60 times per year during peak demand hours. You’ll be notified by email when events are scheduled, typically by 2 p.m. Eastern the day ahead. You can opt-out from individual adjustment events by following the opt-out link in the event notification email. Note that any event opt-outs will reduce the incentive you will be eligible to receive.
A typical SolarEdge one home battery system or 3 block SolarEdge Nexis system can earn up to $4000 over the 5 year program.
Under the program rules, PV energy production is always prioritized over dispatch of battery energy and your incentive is based on dispatch performance of your battery.
Several factors influence the performance of your system including your PV array size and orientation, inverter rated power, number of batteries, energy available in your battery at the time of the event, the time of the day and solar generation during events, the time and solar generation between events and more.
National Grid, Eversource or Cape Light Compact are responsible for issuing the payment directly to you via check.
You should expect to see a check from:
Ensure your system is installed, has received permission to operate, and has been registered to the SolarEdge Monitoring Portal. Once this is complete, click the enrollment link above that corresponds to your utility, and provide the desired information. Once you submit this enrollment request you will receive email updates confirming receipt of your application, and later confirming your accepted enrollment in the program.
Yes, you can add a SolarEdge battery to an existing solar energy system. Ask your SolarEdge installer how.
Yes, you can unenroll, if desired by emailing the program administrator. National Grid, Eversource or Cape Light Compact.
