More homes are being built or retrofitted with solar panels, but the traditional model of pumping the power back into the grid just isn't cutting it.
Nic Evans, the VP of Commercial at ES Solar said,"In California, there’s a huge problem with a lot of solar going into the grid when they don’t necessarily need it."This is where solar panels on a home are connected to a solar energy storage battery in the home.He said,"I think the most common question I get asked by neighbors is ‘Does it really work?’ and it absolutely works.
Homeowners can tell the solar storage battery to discharge power directly from the battery or by using an app. "We can look at the app and see what the battery’s producing, what it’s collecting from the solar panels itself," said Evans.David Eskelsen, a Spokesperson for Rocky Mountain Power said,"The power company can control the charging and particularly the discharging of those batteries to support grid response during times of high use.
At this time, only three Sonnen batteries qualify for the Wattsmart Battery Program but RMP hopes to have more sign up to become eligible in the near future."You come home from work, you plug in your electric vehicle, you may want to start discharging your battery at that point so you’re not pulling from the grid," said Evans.
