GMP gets it, and they’ve expanded the program to include Enphase’s fourth-generation IQ Battery lineup, giving customers more freedom of choice about how they add backup power at home.“Enphase is a great company,” explains Alexander Mintz, owner and operator of Power Guru, a GMP certified backup battery installer. “(Enphase has been in business for over 20 years), they partnered with GMP to make it affordable for folks to install batteries for backup power in their homes.”GMP customers who sign up for the Energy Storage Solutions Program can add an Enphase or Tesla Powerwall battery to their home for $55/mo., added to their GMP electric bill, or for a single incentivized payment of $5,500.</div>
