Energy storage developer Sunverge Energy and national solar installer PetersenDean Roofing & Solar have announced a partnership to provide energy storage systems to homeowners in California.
Sunverge systems allow customers to capture the power they generate from their rooftop solar and automatically use it when demand and energy prices are highest. With energy storage systems, homeowners create their own power using environmentally friendly renewable energy, allowing PetersenDean solar and storage owners to be more energy independent and help reduce the need to use electricity from central, fossil-fuel fired plants. Based in Fremont, Calif., PetersenDean installs about 2,000 American-made rooftop solar systems each month nationally.
“The residential battery marketplace is only getting hotter. By combining solar and advanced battery technology with smart software, homeowners can optimize their energy use by balancing consumption of stored and renewable energy while also reducing energy demand,” says Jim Petersen, CEO of PetersenDean. “Batteries make it possible for homeowners to use stored solar energy during peak times when utility rates are at their highest, which keeps bills lower.”
By using the Sunverge energy management platform that integrates with each storage system, PetersenDean can offer backup power during electric outages, bill savings and additional value-added services to its thousands of solar customers.
