Fortress Power VPP programs in North Carolina are powered by Duke Energy.
Duke Energy’s incentives programs offer financial incentives to North Carolina homeowners who install both rooftop solar panels and/or battery storage systems. These incentives can almost fully cover the cost adding a battery system to your solar array. These programs aim to promote renewable energy adoption and enhance grid reliability by using clean, reenable energy stored in battery systems instead of traditional power plants.
Receive an upfront incentive of up to $9,000 when you install a Fortress Power system with Duke Energy’s PowerPair program. Add monthly bill credits for 10 years with Duke Energy’s battery control programs, Power Manager in Duke Energy Carolinas and EnergyWise® in Duke Energy Progress. Power Manager and EnergyWise® offer the same bill credits. Customers can sign up for either the upfront incentive, monthly credits, or combine to maximize savings.
By integrating solar and battery systems, participants can reduce their reliance on the grid, lower energy bills, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future. The program not only supports individual energy independence but also aids in stabilizing the broader electrical grid by managing demand and supply more effectively. Not to mention, Fortress Power systems offer the highest annual potential bill credit in the entire program.
