New Era Electric Partners with Stem to Enhance Solar and Storage Solutions

Challenge

New Era’s commercial customers throughout California are realizing the wasted potential by not harnessing energy and having battery storage. And they anticipate seeing more and more requests for storage to pair with solar installations in the future as the cost of solar itself comes down. They were looking for a distributor partner and energy storage solution provider to help them add battery storage to their solar projects

Solution

Today, New Era is finding that nearly all solar contractors are already installing or looking to install battery storage. Greentech Renewables and Stem have partnered to make that easy for them as a one-stop-shop to provide the products they need to build successful projects. Stem provides the battery equipment, software, and solutions to make that possible.

Results

As the market leader in energy storage, Stem has unmatched experience in solar plus storage deployments. Our Athena smart energy software optimizes and automates interactions between solar, storage, and the grid, bringing our customers more savings and greater project ROI. As a result, Stem is helping New Era and its customers optimize utility bills, reduce expensive demand charges, and protect the value of solar investments against shifting rate structures.
