Key Takeaways
Earn cash rewards by joining GoodGrid and supporting your local energy grid.

Power Your Community with GoodGrid
GoodGrid works with solar‑powered or standalone home batteries; whether you’re already using solar or simply have a battery for backup, you can be part of the solution.
When you join GoodGrid, you’re stepping into a community of homeowners who are all working together to keep the lights on. The best part? You get to support the energy grid without lifting a finger.
Homeowners like you are already making a huge impact. Together, more than 250 megawatts of residential batteries are installed every year, enough to power an entire city the size of Pittsburgh or Sacramento.
And this impact is already being put to work: in the last 10 months alone, GoodLeap‑connected homes stepped in during 13 grid events in California, helping keep neighborhoods powered during high‑demand hours.
How GoodLeap’s GoodGrid Makes It Simple
As a third‑party aggregator, GoodLeap takes care of all the behind‑the‑scenes work to bring VPP offers to you, educating you on how your home battery can participate in these energy programs. You get the rewards without the hassle of managing anything on your own.
Earn Rewards While Helping the Grid
Earn cash rewards when your battery helps stabilize the grid, because enrolling in GoodGrid means getting paid for the power you provide.
Making a Difference, the Easy Way
Once you’re in, participating is easy. With GoodLeap’s Energy Management Software (GEMS), we handle everything for you. Your battery will automatically send energy to the grid when it’s needed, but reserve it when your home needs the extra power. Plus, when you download the GoodLeap Home app, you get access to view your energy usage, VPP participation and so much more.
Imagine this: It’s a hot evening, your air conditioning is humming along. While you relax at home, your battery quietly contributes to the grid, helping ease the strain on the local energy system. With GoodLeap’s AI-powered platform, everything is coordinated automatically, ensuring your home’s battery system optimizes energy use in real-time to support both your needs and the grid.
You’re saving money, supporting your community, and strengthening the grid—all without sacrificing your comfort. All you have to do is sign up, and we take care of the rest.
Your Needs Come First
We understand your home’s comfort is non‑negotiable. That’s why GoodLeap makes sure that while your battery helps the grid, your energy needs are always a priority. In the event of an outage, your battery will only be used to back up your home, keeping your lights on when you need them most.
