Overview

About this program

Swell Energy previously installed and aggregated residential solar + storage assets into utility-contracted VPPs in Hawaii, California, and New York. Hawaiian Electric said in September 2024 that Swell had closed its doors and was no longer supporting the Home Battery Rewards Program, so this listing is retained for market history rather than current procurement.
