Unlocking TPOs to scale battery enrollments

TPO battery models now account for more than half of new residential battery installs — and that share is growing. The policy change that made it happen (the end of IRA 25D residential credits) wasn’t gradual. It shifted the economics of battery ownership almost overnight, and utility VPP programs designed for customer-owned devices are now enrolling a fundamentally different mix of assets.

In this on-demand webinar, EnergyHub convened practitioners from Tesla, Eversource, and IGS Solar to talk through what this shift actually looks like from inside their programs — and what it takes to make TPO participation work for everyone in the stack.

This session covers:

• What TPO providers need from a VPP program before they’ll commit: incentive assignability, predictable payment structures, program longevity, and why a pilot often isn’t enough
• How Eversource opened its Connected Solutions program to TPOs, what internal questions they had to work through, and what they’re watching now
• How IGS and Tesla manage the customer experience when a utility, an OEM, and a TPO all touch the same battery — from lease disclosure to dispatch to settlement
• The program design specifics that determine whether TPOs can underwrite VPP value into their lease products, and what happens when they can’t
• What utilities should ask for before partnering with a TPO — and the transparency benchmarks that hold the whole model together
