Dive Summary:

• Defying rooftop solar conventions, NRG Energy is ready to roll-out a new solar power system with energy storage for residents to use power at night or during outages.
• The massive energy company will show off the new system at a conference in Southern California the last week of April.
• Finance options will allow customers to take advantage of this technology with little to no primary costs for installation.

From the article:
“NRG designed the solar pergola with hurricane Sandy in mind, Doyle said. The devastation caused by Sandy on the East Coast last October presented a huge challenge for utilities to repair damage to the electric grid and restore power to their customers quickly. For consumers, having the ability to generate power at home minimizes the risk of losing access to power during a natural disaster. NRG also intends to market the pergola to businesses, such as gas stations and banks.”
