ConnectedSolutions for Home Battery Storage
Earn rewards and lower carbon emissions by enrolling your home battery storage system in Eversource's ConnectedSolutions.
ConnectedSolutions for Connecticut battery customers will not accept new enrollments after December 1st, 2023. All battery enrollments must have permission to operate by December 1 to participate in the program. Energy Storage Solutions will be the sole offering after that date. Existing ConnectedSolutions customers will have the option to stay in ConnectedSolutions as long as we have the funding for it or transfer over to Energy Storage Solutions.
Home batteries can help you store clean energy generated by a home solar system, or simply provide backup energy in case you need it.
By enrolling in ConnectedSolutions, you will be rewarded for allowing Eversource to use the energy stored in your battery at times of high demand.
Incentives for home batteries are based on the average kilowatt (kW) used per event, averaged over the season. All events will occur between 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm. If there is an extreme weather event in the forecast, we will not draw energy from your battery.
| Incentive per average kW used | $225 |
| Season Dates | June 1 - September 30 |
| Number of Events | 30-60 |
| Event Duration | 3 hours |
| Timing | 3 - 8 p.m. |
Qualified Partners

Yearly Earnings
How much you earn is based on the average kW your battery contributes per event. A typical home battery could contribute an average of 5 kW per event. This would earn $1,125 per year.
Different batteries can contribute different amounts during events, and your battery must perform in accordance to your interconnection agreement. Additionally, some manufacturers may collect a portion of the incentive payment. Please contact your battery manufacturer or installer for more information about your battery's expected contribution and what, if any, portion of the incentive they collect.
