sonnenConnect New England VPP

In order to be considered, you must complete the purchase and installation of a sonnen battery system paired with solar, internet access. You must be a current National Grid or Eversource service customer and enroll in a qualifying utility incentive program, such as Connected Solutions. You must also successfuly complete the sonnenConnect application process before you can begin receiving the benefits of sonnenConnect. Your sonnen certified installer will also help determine your eligibility for the sonnenConnect Program. 

In addition to enrolling in the Connected Solutions Progrm, customers must also qualify for the sonnenConnect program prior to receiving benefits. The sonnenConnect enrollment process is managed by sonnen and approval is not guaranteed.  Actual earnings will vary based on the number of sonnen batteries you have enrolled in sonnenConnect and the contributions your battery makes to the Connected Solutions program. On top of your Connected Solutions rewards, sonnen pays you additional guaranteed cash payments of $600-900 per year (estimate is based on one sonnenCore+ 20 kWh battery system installed in Massachusetts with optimal solar and consumption). Actual earnings from sonnen will vary based on the number of batteries installed and the size of each battery. At the end of the year, you may also be eligible to receive an annual bonus based on the performance of your battery system. sonnenConnect payments are paid quarterly to customers with any battery performance bonus calculated and paid annually if the battery exceeds expected performance.

sonnenConnect New England is currently only available in Massachusetts and works with the Connected Solutions Program to provide a growing number of support services to the local grid. The goal of our sonnenConnect program is to manage your battery and maximize the energy savings and cash rewards that you earn by participating in programs in your area. We continue to add additional services and programs as they become available. Current grid services include demand response, which is a way to reduce customer’s electricity usage to help lower the demand for electricity at critical times – during peak periods when energy use is at its highest. Lowering demand at peak times helps reduce peak-day generator emissions, delay installation of costly utility equipment, and can help reduce the purchase of expensive peak-day energy.
