How does the solar program at Hillside East provide benefits to our homeowners?

May 2, 2023 by Jeremi Lashua

Every home at Hillside East comes standard with a rooftop solar array as well as in-unit Powerwall battery storage.  The benefits to the homeowner in addition to generating clean, green energy at a fraction of the cost of net metering, is that in the instance of a power outage to the grid, the solar panels will continue to generate power.  By doing so the homeowner will continue to stay powered up by deploying the energy stored in the Powerwalls, and then repowering the batteries through the rooftop solar arrays.  At Hillside East we believe that doing the right thing for our environment and doing the right thing for our homeowners are not mutually exclusive.
