“The SolarEdge Home Battery, along with its advanced grid-connectivity capabilities, will help us to advance that effort. The Power Board recommends no changes for current customers until 2033. Not only that but by going solar you will save up. 3.93/month decrease (or 5) in solar credits versus todays solar rate design. “When a customer participates in the program, they are partnering with Rocky Mountain Power to innovate for the future and become part of a sustainable energy grid solution,” adds Bill Comeau, Rocky Mountain Power’s vice president of customer experience and innovation. Because of Solar incentives in Utah County, the cost to go solar is up to 50 less than in other places.

Homeowners joining the Wattsmart Battery program with the DC-Coupled SolarEdge Home Battery will benefit from higher efficiency due to its ability to directly store DC power from the sun, reducing the number of energy conversions and reducing energy loss. The Utah Solar Tax Credit will continue to phase out. As we continue to move towards a net-zero economy, this level of optimization will become the standard for VPP models, allowing grid operators such as Rocky Mountain Power to build a resilient and flexible distributed energy grid of the future.” If youve ever thought about adding Solar to your home, act now and you can still receive credits. “The more flexibility and speed battery assets can provide, the more valuable they are to grid operators – both as a contingency and frequency reserve.

While typical demand-response programs work on a day-ahead basis, the Wattsmart program is designed to respond on-demand with almost immediate response in unplanned grid events,” states Peter Mathews, SolarEdge North America’s general manager. “Wattsmart is an innovative program, but what really sets it apart from other VPPs is the speed of deployment.
