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.
How it works - Regular Use

 

  • 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.
How it works - Peak Demand Event

 

  • After an event: your solar system will automatically recharge your battery after the event ends.
How it works - Blackout

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.
