Top story this week 📰 .... "Solar installers with aspirations of taking part in the virtual power plant revolution — especially in a market like Texas — can differentiate from competitors with a new solar + storage system design and financial model," writes Charles W. Thurston. "Such is the case with Houston-based TriSMART Solar. TriSMART is a key installer now offering the new sonnen, Inc./SOLRITE Energy virtual power plant power purchase agreement (VPA), which will offer a solar panel and battery installation at no upfront cost. Instead Solrite finances the solar + sonnen batteries for a killer fixed rate that’s about a 30% discount for a customer’s energy usage compared with the local utility rates. “It’s been very awesome to be affiliated with sonnen and Solrite and to get involved with them. The technology’s very disruptive. It has provided us with a differentiator that a lot of installers haven’t been able to provide to the marketplace. So, we’ve seen sales increase because of the offering,” said Mark Bench, the CEO of the company in a recent interview. Read the whole thing 👉 https://lnkd.in/gtDCpDZW

Sonnen, SOLRITE Energy launch grid-optimizing virtual power plant in Texas https://lnkd.in/eAb5CTpy #virtualpowerplant

The startup SOLRITE Energy and sonnen, Inc. will offer free solar and batteries to Texas homeowners. The catch: The companies will own and use the equipment to create a virtual power plant that they are betting will pay off installation costs. That’s the idea behind the “virtual power plant power purchase agreement,” or VPA, officially launched on Thursday. Under this VPA structure, households across Texas can get rooftop solar panels and up to three sonnenCore+ batteries to provide backup power during grid outages — all installed at no upfront cost to them. Those households do not own the solar and storage systems. Instead, Solrite retains ownership and thus full control over their moneymaking potential on the energy markets managed by Texas grid operator ERCOT.

Our partners at Pearl Homes, the home builder of the nationally recognized Hunters Point community in Cortez Florida, led by the pioneering home builder Marshall Gobuty, continue to do the important work required to help build a more reliable, safe, clean energy future, amidst the growing frequency of climate change induced extreme weather events. That said, what is so special and unique about Marshall and Pearl Homes, is that they feel so passionate about sharing their invention and their best practices nationally, with the hope that Hunters Point can become a bit of a "blueprint" for others. This, by and large, has little to do with the growth of their own local business, but instead, maximizing the full purpose and impact of their work - throughout society. In this photo, Marshall is showing his sonnen system to members of FEMA management, purely in order to provide education and to support their broader research for how to build a resilient and renewable energy future. Nice work Marshall!
