Big news everybody
You can now get paid to own a battery backup system. This is a real game changer
it used to be that energy storage systems or otherwise known as battery backups were too expensive for most people but
Now with the new connected solutions demand response program in massachusetts and other new england states
You actually get paid to discharge your batteries into the grid a few years ago. My mother is looking for a backup generator
She asked me if she should get a battery system
But in the end I actually recommended for her to go with the propane backup generator and that's what she did
however
Recently, I had a similar conversation with her. I realized if she was to ask me the same thing today
I would recommend a battery backup system see a few years ago. You didn't have incentives
So the batteries they didn't pay for themselves, but today with all the incentives including the demand response program
I just mentioned a federal tax credit a SMART incentive
which i'll talk about in a little bit and the demand response you actually have a
battery backup system, which is working in symbiosis
With your solar panels if you have solar panels, so it's a sunny day after the storm
Even if you have no power in the house, the solar panels are charging your batteries. No buying fuel worrying about maintenance
You don't have to worry about your food going bad or having to get a hotel room for you and the kids
Most of our battery backup systems are at least doing partial home backup, you know
The main things like the internet the refrigerators making sure you know
If you have gas or oil heat that that keeps on going
So what is demand response so demand response is basically you have a super hot day
Like it's been recently this summer and on those hot days you may have heard news reports
So they say, you know beware of rolling brown house
I think it was last week or so part of manhattan lost power,
200,000 homes in California lost power because of the heat.
So the whole idea there isn't enough electricity in the grid
so the whole idea of demand responses
Is that we install hundreds actually thousands
of battery units in each home in your home in your neighbor's home in your parents home and your friend's home and then
During these super hot days again. They call this a demand response event
They can discharge the utilities at the press of a button can discharge all these systems at the same time
The best part is because it's your electricity that's being discharged into the grid
They're gonna pay you in Australia, in Germany, in California and now here in the northeast
We actually have these programs available too. Just to be clear that all utilities are participating in this program
So to find out if you and your home can participate in this program, please give us a call at Rayah Solar
We'll give you the information you need also we can talk about how that works for smart, which I mentioned earlier
Which is the state incentive that pays you every month guaranteed for 10 years from the department of energy
So you get actually what's called a SMART adder when you add the battery system with your solar system
So they again they do work in symbiosis together.
So again, this is really big news
So for the first time literally in human history
It's cost effective to get an energy storage system to have batteries backing up your home
You're getting it paid for you're getting all the resiliency
And the peace of mind of having a battery backup for your home
And it's getting paid for so again
