How it works

Instead of an upfront rebate, ConnectedSolutions pays an annual performance incentive for letting your utility dispatch your battery during 50-60 summer peak events. A 5kW enrollment earns roughly $1,125-$1,375/year - recurring, not one-time.

Stacking with other programs

Stacks with Mass Save heat pump rebates (up to $8,500 whole-home) for full-electrification projects.

Next step

Size your backup needs first, then compare installed batteries. Get 2–3 installer quotes — the installer files the incentive paperwork.
