Renewable Energy From Local Sources — California Edition
has a goal — to power energy independence so homeowners have the freedom to live life uninterrupted. To reach that goal, it offers customers one stop renewable energy shopping that includes rooftop solar, residential battery storage, and the software to manage a home’s entire energy ecosystem. Using what the company calls its Adaptive Home technology, Sunnova helps make any home able to produce and store renewable energy.
Sunnova calls its business model “energy as a service.” By equipping new communities with solar and storage, it will provide consumers with a better energy service that allows them to live in a more resilient home and community with the latest energy management infrastructure. For this new initiative it has formed a wholly owned subsidiary called Sunnova Community Microgrids California to develop self sustaining micro-utilities.
“We believe microgrids address a strong need in the market for more robust energy solutions and better connectivity,” he adds. “The Sunnova Adaptive Community™ will provide consumers with the ability to produce, share, and deliver power when it’s needed most. SCMC’s application highlights the relief that the existing transmission and distribution system will experience given that most of the power that will be consumed by these communities will be generated locally from renewable resources.
The vision of generating electricity where it is used and uncoupling from large utility companies has a Utopian allure, but the systems often have maintenance and other problems that take the shine off the dream. Many tiny utilities created under such models in the United States and Canada were later swallowed up by larger power companies. Some local governments have rejected permits for off-grid homes on health and safety grounds, arguing that a connection to the grid is essential.
