Your Impact on the Planet as an owner of a Meterhome™ system

Audience: External (Public)

Purpose: To provide homeowners with a powerful, relatable summary of the positive environmental impact they can make after one year of using their MeterHome™ system, translating smart energy management into tangible contributions to the clean energy movement.

If you have a MeterHome BESS for a year, you can do more than just save money.

Your MeterHome™ system is a powerful tool for energy independence and backup power. But it also plays a crucial role in creating a cleaner, more stable energy grid for everyone. By simply using your system's smart features, like Time-of-Use optimization, you become an active participant in the fight against climate change.

But what does that impact actually look like over the course of a year?

Your Contribution, By the Numbers

Your MeterHome™ system, with its 14.3 kWh capacity, helps make the entire power grid more efficient. When you use it to charge from the grid during low-demand "Off-Peak" hours and use that stored energy during high-demand "On-Peak" hours, you reduce the strain on the grid.

This simple act of energy shifting, repeated daily, means that dirty, inefficient "peaker" power plants—which are often fired up only to meet that high peak demand—are needed less often.

Assuming your system completes just one full charge and discharge cycle each day to shift your energy usage, you are intelligently managing over 5,200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy every single year. This helps the grid avoid the need to generate power from its least efficient sources, which in turn:

• Helps avoid approximately 3.7 metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

That's a big number, but what does it actually mean in the real world?

In Just One Year, Your Smart Energy Management is Equivalent to:

• Avoiding the burning of over 4,100 pounds of coal.

• The carbon sequestered by nearly 60 tree seedlings grown for 10 years.

• Avoiding the CO2 emissions from driving an average gasoline-powered car over 8,500 miles. That's like driving from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine, and back again!

You Are Part of a Smarter Grid

Every time your battery charges when demand is low and powers your home when demand is high, you are helping to create a more balanced and efficient energy grid. Your home becomes a key part of a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

Thank you for being a vital part of the solution. We're proud to be on this journey with you.
