Creating a More Stable Grid
in your Community!

Utilize your Electriq Power Energy Storage System with ConnectedSolutions & CT ESS Programs

Who Can Take Advantage of this Program?

If you are a homeowner in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island, you have an exciting opportunity to share the energy from your home battery with the grid when it’s most needed. Thanks to Electriq’s Battery storage system, you’ll not only earn significantly more money than the standard grid sellback, but you’ll also play a key role in enhancing the stability of the grid in your region. And here’s the best part: if you ever change your mind, you can opt-out whenever you like.

This opportunity is available through the ConnectedSolutions Program, which covers end-users within the service territories of National Grid, Eversource, and Cape Light Compact in NH, MA, and RH. Additionally, the Connecticut Energy Storage Solutions (CT ESS) Program caters to end-users within the CT service territories of Eversource and United Illuminating.

It’s a win-win situation for both your wallet and the grid’s reliability!

How Does it Work?

Step 1
Opt into
the Program

Do you have or want an energy storage battery? Want to start making money from your excess power by selling it back to the grid? Electriq can help!

Step 2
Send Power
to the Grid

You’ll earn money by providing power to the grid – alleviating grid strain and making a positive impact on lowering New England’s carbon footprint. Your contribution counts!

Step 3
Earn
Money

Think of it as the regular grid sell mode on your inverters, with a twist – the utility provider gets to decide when they tap into your system for power. They’ll give you a heads-up when they require energy, and they’ll take an agreed-upon amount.

How Much Can I Make?

The ConnectedSolutions and CT ESS programs are a good opportunity to earn money through your solar + storage or just battery storage investment. Take a look at the following graphs for a clearer picture of just how much you could potentially earn. It’s all about putting your power to work for you!
