“We know that many homeowners could reduce their bills drastically by electrifying and getting solar systems that fully power their all-electric homes,” said James Quazi, Balto’s Founder & CEO, and a serial entrepreneur in the home energy sector. “To unlock maximum savings, homeowners need to take these actions in lockstep, with solar leading. This hasn’t been possible before, and we’re launching ‘SLED,’ the Solar-Led Electrification Driver, to facilitate this.”

Historically, solar contractors have designed solar solely based on past electrical usage. Balto both takes into account the past and models the future energy needs of a home with electrification, so homeowners can make decisions and contractors can appropriately size solar and storage systems. Balto will also offer flexible financing for homeowners to use towards electrification upgrades, incentivizing them to take action more quickly.

Balto is going to market through California solar contractors, who are searching for innovative solutions amidst California’s recently implemented NEM 3.0 policy that has lowered how much homeowners earn sending solar to the grid. In 2023, California solar sales plummeted over 75% and the industry lost over 17,000 jobs.

“Balto transforms NEM 3.0 from a crisis into an opportunity,” said Andrew Krause, CEO of Northern Pacific Power Systems, the solar contractor deploying Balto. “Solar offers low, flat power costs, compared to the utility. Electrification enables homeowners to use more solar onsite and export less to the grid, maximizing solar’s value. Balto equips us to sell this full package, solar-led electrification, and be whole home energy consultants to our customers.”

"Balto’s financing product will be a game-changer,” said Ashby Monk, who invested in Balto through KDX and is the Executive Director of Stanford’s Initiative on Long-Term Investing. “Homeowners have had to secure financing for energy upgrades personally, based on their credit scores. Balto will unlock additional financing by underwriting at the home or energy system level, leveraging an understanding of the future energy savings."
