By producing and storing your own clean power, you can become an active player in the energy transformation
Energy systems are shifting. For decades, our nation has been powered by large, centralized power plants that produce high-voltage electricity and deliver it to the masses via the electric power grid.
Since the mid-20th century, utility companies have connected their power plants to large transmission systems — allowing them to deliver electricity to customers thousands of miles away, through millions of miles of distribution lines.*
But this centralized system is aging, and the grid is becoming increasingly stressed. Blackouts fueled by extreme weather are more and more frequent.* The crisis in February of 2021 in Texas was a prime example of how dangerous a grid failure can be, illustrating that centralized power generation isn’t the way to build a resilient electric system as we forge a sustainable future.But this centralized system is aging, and the grid is becoming increasingly stressed.
