Connected Solutions FAQs

What Is the ConnectedSolutions Program?

During times of very high demand for electricity, think everyone using their A/C on a hot summer’s day, utilities must rely on non-environmentally friendly options to meet customer demand. Enrolling in ConnectedSolutions allows your utility to instead use some of your stored solar power in your EVERVOLT home battery system during peak demand events. This lowers pollution, increases grid stability, and financially compensates you.

Terms & Conditions

Get started by reviewing the terms & conditions for your region.
  • You will receive a check from your utility based on your average contribution through the season.
    • Your battery’s average performance will determine how much you are financially compensated, and that compensation will come at the end of summer and winter seasons.

    •   At any point you can decline to contribute to a demand response event, no penalty under the ConnectedSolutions program, but you thus will not be compensated for that event.
