Read how ES Solar has established a new, replicable business model and sales marketing strategy [to enable] grid-interactive and responsive solar that supports, rather than becomes a nuisance to the energy grid. Using the Wattsmart Program, ES Solar aims to add sonnen batteries to 40% of Utah’s solar-only residential PV systems over five years as customers seek backup power and income from VPP participation. #VPP #VirtualPowerPlant #WattsmartProgram #RockyMountainPower #ESSolar #sonnenUSA #BeyondBackupPower

The “Go Back” business model is not only good for customers and RMP, but also for solar installers. ES Solar said the initiative has been a game changer, with approximately 75% of its year-to-date sales stemming from the program. It’s “an excellent method to smooth out a solar contractor’s business over the course of the year, by providing a terrific opportunity for high-volume during the winter months,” said Randall, who noted that installing a battery in a garage is more feasible in the winter compared to selling and installing rooftop solar. #ESSolar #sonnenUSA #VPP #BeyondBackupPower #RockyMountainPower

“Existing solar customers are very interested in adding an intelligent energy storage system to their solar array, not just for backup power, but for the other benefits that a storage system can provide,” said Zach Randall, VP of sales at ES Solar. Rocky Mountain Power offers Go Back incentives for a Wattsmart Battery, an annual bill credit for grid services, and proactive backup power. #ESSolar #sonnenUSA #VPP #BeyondBackupPower #RockyMountainPower

ES Solar is pioneering the future of residential energy and delivering great value to customers by going all-in on solar plus storage plus VPP in partnership with Rocky Mountain Power and sonnen. #ESSolar

Though over a hundred solar companies fled the state when its utility, Rocky Mountain Power, cut solar incentives four years ago, Utah is one of the fastest-growing states for residential solar—but with a twist. Many new customers are also purchasing grid-connected batteries, which is where Rocky Mountain Power's financial incentives for homeowners are flowing. While others left, ES Solar, a local solar company, made the strategic call to go all-in on solar-plus-storage. Steadily, ES Solar learned how to sell homeowners these more robust but expensive systems. The team overcame the added complexity of installing them. Then business took off. Today, Rocky Mountain Power operates one of the nation's most innovative solar energy grids. The utility weaves together those batteries - installed in over 3,500 homes - to form a virtual power plant that keeps energy rates low and reduces reliance on fossil fuel plants. ES Solar has installed 96% of Utah's residential solar-plus-storage systems in partnership with Rocky Mountain Power. The company's hard-won expertise in solar-plus-storage is powering its expansion to California, Idaho, and Wyoming. Zach Randall, ES Solar's VP of Sales, joins the Supercool podcast to share his company's growth story, Utah's path to solar energy leadership, and why other states are playing catch-up to emulate Utah's success.
