Resilience and Distributed Energy Programs
Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is committed to providing our customers with clean, affordable and reliable electricity.
Customer Resiliency Programs
Homeowners and businesses throughout Santa Clara County have the opportunity to participate in programs to help install battery storage, solar, and/or other clean power technologies for their home or business.
The Solar+Battery Assistant is a no-obligation, end-to-end concierge service to help you design your solar+battery installation, independently compare pricing from multiple installers, and access financing options. Plus, customers can receive $1,000 off an electrical panel upgrade, which may be needed for future electric home upgrades.
Lights On Silicon Valley
We have selected Sunrun to develop a network of customer-sited solar and storage systems across our community through Lights On Silicon Valley. These systems will provide customers with resilience during outages and can also be used by SVCE to provide benefits to the grid during the rest of the year. A rebate will be available for our customers who elect to enroll their system. Find out more using the button below!
Community Resilience Program
The SVCE Community Resilience Program aims to help our region reduce the impacts of power outages from events such as earthquakes, PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs, floods, and wildfires while supporting decarbonization and local job creation. In collaboration with our member agencies and local stakeholders, the program will assess, identify, prioritize and implement resilient energy strategies across our territory.
Member Agencies
To support its member agencies in developing resilience projects, SVCE has made $5 million in funding available in the form of planning and capex grants.
