Bernie Pelletier has spent years helping Connecticut residents understand the benefits of clean energy solutions. As a long-time advocate for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and community-based sustainability initiatives, he believes in leading by example. After installing solar at his home years ago, Bernie recently added battery storage to demonstrate how distributed energy resources can support both homeowners and the electric grid. For Bernie, the decision was about more than personal savings. He sees battery storage as an important tool for improving grid resilience and making better use of renewable energy. As an early adopter, Bernie continues to demonstrate the technologies he encourages others to consider, helping Connecticut residents better understand the role battery storage can play in providing back-up power when the grid goes down by creating a cleaner, more resilient energy future
