US-based SOLRITE Energy and Sonnen have introduced an innovative Virtual Power Plant (VPP) power purchase agreement in Texas’s ERCOT market. The program offers solar panels and sonnen batteries with no upfront costs, allowing homeowners to pay a reduced rate of 12¢/kWh for solar energy—lower than average state electricity rates. Since September 2024, SOLRITE has committed over 40 MWh of residential battery power, enhancing grid stability and reducing pollution. Participants benefit from backup power and contribute to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
