One reason electricity prices continue to rise is that electric utilities are compensated for building as much transmission infrastructure as they can get away with. Speaking broadly about solar companies finding value in a post net-metering (NEM) environment, a Sungevity representative agreed that microgrids “will be adopted increasingly in non-NEM markets as microgrid costs come down and energy costs continue to increase.” Though Sungevity is not currently bundling energy storage or the ability to island from the utility grid, this partnership positions them to provide these services in the future.

Taking the partnership one step further, equipping their commercial customers with CleanSpark energy management software could open a bottom-up path to CleanSparks’ version of a FractalGrid, where electricity is traded between microgrids that can operate autonomously or in concert with neighboring microgrids. Is This A Gateway To A Sungevity Microgrid? The CleanSpark technology suite can be easily bundled with energy storage, and the offering could give Sungevity customers the ability to take advantage of evolving market conditions, essentially future-proofing Sungevity’s value proposition. “Our commercial customers will now have access to millisecond interval usage and generation data, enabling them to make assessments and take immediate cost-saving actions by cutting their energy costs.” “The CleanSpark energy management and monitoring suite is the most sophisticated we’ve seen in the commercial market,” said Dave Dunlap, Chief Development Officer of Sungevity.

The integration with CleanSpark was piloted in California in Q4 2015, and is scheduled to fully roll out in the same region by the summer of 2016, with additional markets to follow.Įnergy security, reliability and economics are cited as the primary drivers of the partnership. Sungevity announced its entry into the commercial solar market in March 2015. Commercial solar customers of Sungevity will now utilize cyber-secure energy monitoring and management software from microgrid company CleanSpark.īetter known as a residential solar provider, Sungevity sees an opportunity in the ‘small-scale business sector,’ which includes retail stores, medical offices, corporate campuses, private schools, gas stations, and houses of worship.
