Read MoreHide Full Article
Enphase Energy, Inc.(ENPH - Free Report) recently revealed that the Vermont-based utility, Green Mountain Power (GMP),decided to offer the Enphase Energy System to its customers as part of its battery lease grid services pilot program. This would further strengthen Enphase’s presence in the U.S. solar market, which boasts a solid growth opportunity.
Enphase also announced the launch of a software-based product, the distributed energy resource management system (DERMS). Through the DERMS software, ENPH aims to provide GMP a platform to control virtual power plants. Such technologically advanced product offerings enable Enphase to expand its footprint not only in the home country but also globally.
Other Highlights
The pilot lease program intends to provide 100 eligible customers with two Enphase IQ Battery 10 units for $65 per month for 10 years or a one-time payment of $6,500.
Additionally, the deal also highlights an option for homeowners to enroll in GMP’s “Bring Your Own Device” grid services program, which enables customers with their own Enphase Energy Systems to earn an incentive. The customers are eligible to obtain an upfront payment of up to $9,500 with four Enphase IQ Battery 10s.
Also, if homeowners choose to modify an existing solar system in areas where it is most needed then they qualify to get an extra $100 per kilowatt.
Enphase Energy’s Growth Prospects in Vermont
Vermont is increasingly adopting solar-based energy to meet its power requirements in a bid to meet its goal of attaining 90% of the total energy supply from renewable sources by 2050.
In this context, it is imperative to mention that the increased penetration of solar power-based energy is instrumental to the battery storage market’s growth as solar power-based energy fails to provide electricity 24x7 and entails the need for an efficient storage solution. This, in turn, opens avenues for Enphase Energy to further expand in the Vermont solar market. The latest selection of the Enphase Energy System by GMP will enable the former to strengthen its position in Vermont.
