The Grid Resilience Program is a utility-supported initiative available across select states and utility territories, designed to help qualifying homeowners lower energy costs, gain battery backup during outages, and support a more reliable power grid—without the large upfront expenses typically associated with solar, batteries, or major roof work. Through a third-party ownership (TPO) structure tied to the local utility, eligible homes may receive solar energy systems, battery storage, long-term equipment coverage, and in some cases necessary roof repairs if required to support the system.

Homeowners do not purchase the equipment outright; instead, they continue paying a monthly electric bill that is often lower than before, while benefiting from backup power, predictable energy costs, and no surprise repair bills for covered equipment during the program term.

These programs exist because much of the nation’s power grid was built decades ago and was not designed for today’s energy demand driven by electric vehicles, remote work, AI data centers, and increased electrification. Utilities encourage grid resilience and virtual power plant participation because homes that generate and store energy locally reduce strain on the grid, help prevent outages, and can export unused power back during peak demand. Not every home qualifies; eligibility depends on structural readiness, energy usage, and roof and layout requirements. As an independent brokerage, our role is to evaluate each home’s eligibility, explain the options clearly, and ensure the program is structured correctly—moving forward only when it truly makes sense for the homeowner.
