Cape Light Compact

Another benefit to solar + storage in Massachusetts

Going solar with battery storage in Massachusetts just got even more rewarding. We’ve partnered with Cape Light Compact to introduce a summer rewards program called Cape Light Compact ConnectedSolutions. This program will help alleviate grid strain in the summer as home battery owners use and share stored solar energy when demand is highest.

What you’ll get

The benefits of solar + battery storage (an elevated home, greater energy independence, and more)
A $250-400 per battery VISA Gift Card in December following every summer you participate for five years
The gratification of supporting your community by reducing grid strain and the need for fossil fuel plants

How it works

Use & share stored power

Keep power for backup

Get rewarded & stay flexible

Your battery will send power to your home and (when available) to the grid on days when there is high demand in the summer seasons.

On days when your home uses and shares stored power, you’ll keep 20% of your battery capacity for backup. And–in the event of an outage–all energy in your battery at that time will be available to you for use.

Receive a $250-400 per battery VISA Gift Card in December following every summer you participate for five years.
Enroll for as little or as long as the program is active– you can opt out any time.

Questions

FAQs

Who is eligible for the program?

The program is limited to customers served by Cape Light Compact in Massachusetts. Eligible Sunrun customers are opted-in to participate in the program when they sign up to go solar with battery storage. Sunrun is currently unable to add a battery to existing home solar systems.

How long does the program last?

Your participation will not begin until your system is installed, activated, and starts sending energy to your home or to the grid. Incentive payment amounts are locked for the first five years of participation and are subject to change after that. You can opt out anytime by emailing grid@sunrun.com.

What rewards will I receive for participating?

The value of your rewards depends on the extra capacity your battery can provide. • $250/battery VISA gift card for LG Chem owners • $400/battery VISA gift card per battery for Powerwall owners

Can I still use my battery system for backup power if there’s an outage?

Yes. On most days, your battery will keep all stored power for backup. On the days of high demand when you use or share stored power, your home battery will always reserve at least 20% capacity for backup needs. In the event of a power outage, all energy in your battery system will be available to you.
