California Sunnova PowerGrid Protect™
Sunnova Energy Corporation (“Sunnova”) and you (“you” or “You”) have entered into a Sunnova SunSafe® home solar + battery storage system or +SunSafe® add-on battery storage system with a solar lease or loan (the “Customer Agreement”). In California, Sunnova offers enrollment to customers with a Sunnova SunSafe® and/or +SunSafe® Customer Agreement in the Sunnova PowerGrid Protect™ program. The PowerGrid Protect™ program helps stabilize the local power grid from outages during peak demand periods by powering your home with energy stored in your battery or energy storage systems (“ESS”) instead of from the grid.
Should you wish to enroll in PowerGrid Protect™, you may receive a Visa Prepaid Reward Card (the “Reward”) from Sunnova in appreciation of your support of clean energy and grid stability. This Reward is in addition to any rewards you may receive from Sunnova’s PowerGrid Protect™ partners for complying with their program terms (see below for details). The terms of the Visa Prepaid Reward Card are provided at https://www.sunnova.com/legal/sunnova-reward-program. The amount of the Reward is specific to the particular PowerGrid Protect™, program for which you may be eligible and in which you enroll.
You may withdraw participation in the PowerGrid Protect™ program at any time by contacting Sunnova at 1-866-SUNNOVA and speaking with a customer service representative. It may take up to sixty (60) days to process your withdrawal. Withdrawal will not affect the other services Sunnova provides to you. By withdrawing, you may render yourself ineligible to receive any rewards that may have currently accrued but not been paid to you, or further incentives, and you may lose your right to participate in future PowerGrid Protect™ programs.
