Solar Inverter Program
Enroll Your Solar System to Make the Grid More Sustainable
Earn a $25 enrollment incentive and a $20 annual incentive while improving power quality on the grid, lowering pollution, and increasing the amount of renewable energy the grid can facilitate.
How it Works
Solar inverters can do more than just convert your solar energy to send it to the grid, they can also improve the quality of power on the grid. Improving the power quality makes the whole grid more efficient.
In exchange for allowing us to use your solar system to improve the grid’s power quality, you will earn $25 for enrolling in the program and $20 a year for staying in the program.
Best of all, this program will not affect your solar generation or your SMART, SREC, Net Metering, or ReGrowth incentives. You can make the grid more sustainable at no cost to you! If at any time we change a setting on your solar inverter that decreases your solar incentives, we will pay you an additional Connected Solutions incentive to make up for it. You can’t lose.
Take the first step! Enroll your solar system by contacting your solar inverter manufacturer.
Enphase Solar System Owners: Enrollment is not offered at this time. If you would like us to contact you when enrollment begins, please complete the following:

Most power purchase agreements do not allow customer to make the types of inverter changes necessary to participate in this program. Please contact your PPA provider to be sure, but most likely if you have a PPA you will not be able to participate directly in this program.
Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this ConnectedSolutions program if you don't have a supported solar system.
