Electriq Power Holdings, Inc. announced that it has partnered with the Town of Apple Valley, California, to launch a new Sustainable Community Networks (?SCN?) program, known to homeowners as PoweredUp Apple Valley. PoweredUp Apple Valley will allow homeowners, regardless of socio-economic status, access to home solar + battery storage solutions, which will help lower electricity costs and provide reliable backup power during utility outages. The PoweredUp Apple Valley program, which was unanimously approved during a recent town council meeting, will be available to more than 17,000 single-family homes in the Apple Valley area.

The program offers homeowners zero-upfront-cost solar + battery storage systems, making it accessible to households regardless of income status. Participation requires no income, credit score, property lien or upfront deposit. The PoweredUp Apple Valley program is expected to be available to homeowners in the Apple Valley area in early 2024.

PoweredUp Apple Valley is the seventh SCN program that Electriq has launched. Five of the SCN programs are in California, with Apple Valley being the first in eastern California. Earlier this month, Electriq announced its expansion into the New England region with the launch of PoweredUp Derby in Connecticut.
