With more than 30 percent of American households experiencing some form of energy insecurity, Yotta Energy was awarded $1.23 million from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop a solar and storage system to address energy inequality in lower-income areas.

The project will include battery backup for a multifamily property located in Santa Ana, California, and will show how Yotta’s scalable technology can increase energy reliability and provide cost savings in underserved communities throughout California.

In addition to economic benefits, the project will also examine reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, improvements to the surrounding environment, and implications to the existing utility grid by adding solar + storage in a low-income community.

 

"Our state has long been dedicated to introducing and integrating renewable energy, but as lower-income areas lagged behind in adoption due to a lack of resources, these communities have experienced elevated air pollution levels," said CEC Chair David Hochschild. “We look forward to working with Yotta Energy on this project to demonstrate the viability of these installations and how we can replicate similar types across the state.”

Yotta will work with Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the preeminent independent, non-profit energy research and development organization, and Promise Energy, a leading solar developer.

"This is a significant step for the city of Santa Ana as the state looks to adopt and implement greener technologies into its buildings," said Omeed Badkoobeh, CEO of Yotta Energy. "Not only will this project lead to a cleaner, healthier local environment, but it will also open the door for economic prosperity and growth in Santa Ana. As we expect to continue growing and implementing our solution in communities nationwide, we look forward to ensuring that everyone has access to a reliable energy supply.”
