March 2023 Partner Update

BPS updates 

• CA NEM 3 $.10/w Adder - To support the transition into NEM 3 and help cover the additional cost of demand and getting customers locked in to NEM 2 (added application fees, additional staffing and overtime pay, expediting process) we are implementing a $.10/w adder for all CA projects signed March 1st and on. 

• Tesla Powerwall is Back for CA - As we prepare for NEM 3 and have more Tesla Powerwall supply, we are bringing the Powerwall back as an option for CA! Adder amounts can be found here. Here's a quick breakdown of battery options available by market-

  • • • • • • • • CA - Tesla Powerwall and Solaredge Battery

                • IL, MA, RI, NJ, CT, NH, UT - Solaredge Battery 

                • PR - Tesla Powerwall

Market Updates

• NEM 3.0 - Beginning March 15th, we will transition to selling into the NEM 3 program in CA. We will do everything possible to submit utility applications for projects signed after March 15th but there is no guarantee they will get approval based on current utility review timelines. Please set proper expectations to all customers signed March 15th and later that they should anticipate NEM 3 utility rates. Later this month we will require the pre-install interconnection application be submitted to the utility prior to scheduling install. 

• CA Add on Systems - Due to NEM 3 launch in April, BPS will no longer offer second systems for CA customers that already have an existing PV system. This policy will go into effect March 15th. 

Funding updates 

• Updated Dealer Fees - As interest rates continue to rise, stay up to speed on how this impacts dealer fees and solar loan products. For the full list of loans and fees, click here.
