How the Program 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 automatically discharge at your committed capacity. 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.

What is the Wattsmart Battery program?

Rocky Mountain Power is paying customers to share battery storage and help maintain a more stable grid with fewer outages. By participating, customers earn an upfront incentive and ongoing bill credits, while using renewable energy to help keep electricity prices in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming among the nation's lowest.

Am I eligible?

Yes, if you are a Rocky Mountain Power customer in Utah, Idaho, or Wyoming that has installed a SolarEdge battery. Ask your installer about SolarEdge home backup today – offering the power to keep you on even when the grid is off. No installer? Tell us more about your needs and be connected to a local installer in your area.

How much can I earn?

Residential batteries can earn up to $600 per kW (based on a 4-year commitment) upfront cash payment and a $15 per kW annual bill credit starting the second year of the program. 
With a SolarEdge Battery, this could amount to an upfront cash payment of up to $3,000 and up to $225 in additional annual bill credits over the 4-year commitment.

If I enroll, will I still have backup if the power goes out?

Rocky Mountain Power can only use your battery when the grid is on. During an outage, homeowners will have access to all the power in their battery. Please consult with an installer to ensure your backup can meet your expectations.

If I already have a SolarEdge Home Battery, can I still participate?

Yes, contact your installer for full enrollment details. 

Can I request to be removed from the program?

Yes, customers can be removed from the program by providing a 30-day advance notification to Rocky Mountain Power. If you decide to withdraw from the program during your commitment period, you will be required to payback a prorated portion of the incentive to Rocky Mountain Power, which will be based on the length of time you participated in the program.
