The launch, a partnership between Flip and Solis, will offer homeowners and technology installers in Puerto Rico a pathway to enroll solar and battery storage systems in the island\u2019s Battery Emergency Demand Response Program. Flip is already available in California and has plans to expand to additional markets across the U.S. in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Flip\u2019s software makes it easy for manufacturers to make their devices VPP-compatible via a standardized API platform. The company\u2019s software acts as an intermediary between distributed energy resources including solar panels, inverters and batteries and electrical utilities. By working together, Flip and device manufacturers enable owners of solar and battery systems to maximize the money that they earn for exporting energy to the grid by responding to dynamic demand-response events.<\/p>\n<p>For homeowners, key benefits of Flip\u2019s partnership with Solis include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Effortless Enrollment: Existing Solis customers can easily enroll in Flip\u2019s VPP program by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/solisvpp.com\">https:\/\/solisvpp.com<\/a>, while prospective customers can contact their local solar installer to find availability of Solis products for their home. Solar installers interested in learning more about the VPP partnership should reach out to their local distributor.<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced Savings: Participants benefit from optimized energy management, potentially reducing electricity costs.<\/li>\n<li>Energy Resilience: By aggregating distributed energy resources, the platform strengthens grid reliability and supports communities as they transition to a sustainable energy future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be launching our VPP SaaS platform in Puerto Rico,\u201d said Ben Larralde, founder of Flip Energy. \u201cWe are committed to empowering local communities with innovative energy solutions that enable cost savings and energy resilience and our partnership with Solis\u2019 industry-leading technology underscores this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VPPs present an ideal solution for owners and technology providers of solar and battery systems as electrical utilities throughout the world look to better integrate DERs to address grid supply, demand\u00a0and reliability. Puerto Rico, in particular, represents a key market as the island\u2019s electrical utility, LUMA, seeks to prioritize distributed energy resources following the decimation of its centralized electrical grid infrastructure after Hurricane Maria in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPuerto Rico\u2019s energy landscape is ripe for innovation,\u201d said James Qiao, general manager of Solis. \u201cOur collaboration with Flip Energy represents a significant step toward enabling homeowners to harness the full potential of their solar systems. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver sustainable and efficient energy solutions globally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>News item from Flip Energy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VPP software provider Flip Energy announced the launch of its cutting-edge VPP platform in Puerto Rico.
