GridPoint
Connect™ is the first appliance to easily integrate
renewable energy sources, automatically increase
energy efficiency and provide clean, instant, reliable
backup power. The GridPoint® “plug-and-play” appliances
seamlessly combine power electronics, high-capacity battery
storage and an advanced computer. Backed by a comprehensive
warranty and in compliance with UL safety standards,
the appliance actively communicates with GridPoint’s
network operations center to ensure optimal performance.
Integrate
Renewable Energy
GridPoint
Connect makes it easy for homes and businesses to
integrate renewable energy sources and sell excess
power to the utility, reducing energy costs. GridPoint’s “plug-andplay” design
replaces the traditionally complex balance of system
(BOS) required for renewable energy installations.
Additionally, GridPoint Connect qualifies for federal
tax credits, allowing homeowners and businesses to
claim up to 30% of the cost of the solar system, in
addition to state and local incentives.
Increase Energy Efficiency
GridPoint
Connect with GridPoint Central®, the
first online energy management portal, provides customers
with control over their energy consumption and costs.
Customers gain detailed information including the amount
of renewable energy produced, consumed, or sold to
the utility and the most cost-effective time to run
appliances. With this information, customers can create
a personal energy profile instructing the GridPoint
appliance to automatically and efficiently manage energy.
Eliminate Power Outages
GridPoint
Connect automatically provides clean, instant, reliable
backup power to protect homes and businesses from
blackouts, brownouts and power sags for critical
loads such as computers, refrigerators, security
systems, heating systems and well pumps. Unlike traditional
backup power systems that release harmful emissions
and require outdoor installation, GridPoint appliances
are a clean technology designed for safe, indoor installation.
Additionally, GridPoint appliances are monitored by
GridPoint’s network operations center for optimal
performance.
