[ Emiley Mallory ](https://blog.catalystpower.com/more-power-to-you/author/emiley-mallory) • July 21, 2023 If you are a mid-market business owner and you think you’re paying way too much to power your business, you’re probably right. Luckily, we’ve got a solution for you: a free Connected Microgrid owned and operated by Catalyst Power. There’s no cost for material, labor, or maintenance. We’ll literally pick up the tab.  Catalyst Power not only offers [an innovative suite of energy solutions](https://blog.catalystpower.com/the-advantages-of-bundling-services-with-a-retail-electricity-provider) like [Community Solar](https://catalystpower.com/our-solutions/community-solar/) and [custom-priced commercial retail electricity](https://catalystpower.com/our-solutions/electricity-and-gas/), but we are also a proud supplier of our one-of-a-kind Connected Microgrid product. Our [Connected Microgrid](https://catalystpower.com/our-solutions/connected-microgrid/) is a Catalyst Power-owned and operated solar array with optional battery storage that eliminates the high-cost barrier to entry for businesses looking to go solar and save money. **Do I Qualify?**  Our Connected Microgrid is great for businesses with high demand charges and as a result, high energy bills. You’ll need an interval meter—a device that measures and sends the exact usage data wirelessly to the utility company every 15 minutes—including over 1 million kWh usage. If you have an interval meter, plus a large amount of consumption that includes a high demand charge, you can immediately benefit from a Connected Microgrid.  **How Do I Sign Up?**  The process is pretty simple. You can sign up for a Connected Microgrid by visiting [our online portal](https://app.catalystpower.com/?_ga=2.76439696.42861626.1689339473-1416223644.1680808881&_gac=1.241787446.1689278520.EAIaIQobChMIgP2-vLWMgAMVFbrICh3aggSBEAAYASAAEgLSdfD_BwE) (yes, it’s that easy) and submitting your information. There, you will make an account and follow the instructions. All we need from you to make an account are a few details:  - Your contact and business information  - Property details (including your address) - Your utility information Once we have all your necessary information, we can issue a Letter of Authorization, and we’ll look at your historical usage to determine if you qualify for a Connected Microgrid. We’ll also throw in [a free solar analysis of your property](https://info.catalystpower.com/connected-microgrid-solution) for good measure. Signing up for a Connected Microgrid ensures you’ll receive a consistent, reliable energy supply, and lower energy bills.   **What’s My Next Step?**  You don’t have to talk to us if you don’t want to, but if you have a question about the service, our door is open.
