What are the Key Benefits?

  • $0 Down
    No upfront cost. The battery is installed, and you start making fixed monthly payments. No large check to write.
  • Zero Maintenance Costs
    The lease covers all maintenance for the life of the battery. If something goes wrong, it's handled. You don't pay for repairs.
  • Get Paid Through Connected Solutions
    Massachusetts pays homeowners $800–$1,200 per year for participating in the Connected Solutions program. That brings your net cost down to $80–$110 per month.
  • Backup Power When You Need It
    When the grid goes down, your battery kicks in automatically. Keep your lights on, your refrigerator running, and your devices charged.

How Does it Work?

1.

Free Site Visit

We’ll come to your home, review your electrical panel, and confirm that a battery can be attached to your existing system. No cost, no obligation.

2.

Custom Proposal

You’ll see exactly what your monthly payment will be, what you’ll earn from Connected Solutions, and how the backup power will work in your home.

3.

Installation

We handle the permits and schedule the install. Most battery installations are completed in one day. Your existing solar system keeps working throughout.

4.

Start Saving

Once connected, your battery begins storing energy and providing backup power. You can enroll in Connected Solutions using your Enphase App and start earning rebates.

What is Connected Solutions?

Connected Solutions is a Massachusetts program that pays battery owners for helping to stabilize the grid during peak demand.

Here’s how it works:

  • During high-demand periods (typically hot summer afternoons or cold winter evenings), your utility sends a signal to your battery.
  • Your battery releases a portion of its stored energy to help reduce strain on the grid.
  • You get paid for every event you participate in.

You still have backup power for emergencies. The utility only accesses a portion of your battery during scheduled events, and you can opt out if needed.

Most homeowners earn $800–$1,200 per year through Connected Solutions. That’s $67–$100 per month back in your pocket.

Battery Storage Leasing

Is my system compatible?

If you have an Enphase IQ8 system installed by Northeast Solar, your system is designed to work with the new IQ 10C battery. We’ll confirm compatibility during the site visit.

What happens if the grid goes down?

Your battery kicks in automatically. It powers your essential circuits — lights, refrigerator, outlets — until the grid comes back. During the day, your solar panels recharge the battery so you can keep going.

What is Storm Guard?

Storm Guard is an Enphase feature that monitors weather forecasts. When severe weather is approaching your area, it automatically charges your battery to 100% before the storm hits. You don’t have to do anything.

How does Connected Solutions affect my backup power?

The utility only accesses a portion of your battery during scheduled events. You always have backup power available for emergencies. If a storm is forecast, Storm Guard prioritizes your backup needs over grid events.

What if I don’t have solar yet?

We can install solar and battery storage together. The battery lease program works alongside our solar PPA — both with zero money down and fixed payments.

What happens at the end of 12 years?

At the end of the lease, you have options. You can purchase the battery at fair market value, renew the lease, or have it removed. We’ll walk through all of that during the proposal.

What if something breaks?

The lease includes full maintenance coverage. If something goes wrong with your battery, we fix or replace it at no additional cost.

How long does installation take?

Most battery installations are completed in 2-3 days. Your existing solar system continues working throughout the installation.

Is this program really limited?

Yes. Palmetto allocates a set number of lease slots per installer. We’re offering them to our existing customers first. When they’re committed, they’re gone.

Why Northeast Solar?

Financing is just paperwork—installation is permanent. With this plan, you get the financial backing of a billion-dollar platform (LightReach), but the craftsmanship of Northeast Solar. We still hide the conduits. We still protect your roof. We still answer the phone in Hatfield.

Includes:

  • 25-Year System Production Guarantee
  • 10-Year Roof Penetration Warranty
  • Seamless management via the Palmetto Home App
  • Local support from the team you trust.
