LEHI, Utah, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar
(NYSE: VSLR) — Vivint Solar, a leading full-service residential
solar provider, is now enabling its customers in Massachusetts to participate in the
ConnectedSolutions program from National Grid. ConnectedSolutions
is a program available to National Grid customers that incentivizes
homeowners with solar to use their photovoltaic (PV) systems with
battery storage to reduce peak energy use, air pollution, stress on
the grid, and energy costs. Massachusetts homeowners with a National Grid
service account can add battery storage to their new solar energy
system through Vivint Solar for a nominal cost to the
customer.
In addition to providing homeowners with the peace of mind they
desire during a blackout or prolonged power outage, a solar energy
system with battery storage can provide the customer with supply
resilience, reduce peak energy use, and contribute to a cleaner
grid.
During a ConnectedSolutions event, enrolled homeowners' PV
systems with battery storage will send extra energy to the utility
and receive a credit on their bill. However, during a power outage,
homeowners' PV systems will stop sending power to the utility and
will continue to power essential loads in their homes with energy
produced by solar panels during the day and energy stored in their
battery storage at night.
"Participation in the ConnectedSolutions program is another way
that we are able to delight our customers and contribute to a
cleaner and more viable energy future in Massachusetts," said David Bywater, CEO of Vivint Solar. "Home
batteries help our customers take a meaningful step toward energy
self-sufficiency and play a pivotal role in building energy
resilient communities."
New Vivint Solar customers located in the National Grid service
territory of Massachusetts who
wish to enroll in the program will receive a backup storage battery
with a small increase in their energy rate when compared to a PV
only solar offering. Those interested can discuss this program with
their sales representative before their customized solar panel
system is installed.
