ConnectDER Adapter Gains Approval from Major California Utilities
What happened
ConnectDER's IslandDER™ Meter Socket Adapter received formal approval from Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and Pacific Gas & Electric. The adapter has logged over 1 million operating hours with a 99.6% reliability rate across California installations. This approval allows the device to be installed on roughly 10 million households across the four utilities' service areas.

Why it matters
The formal approval streamlines the installation process for distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar and batteries. This increased availability and reliability is expected to drive adoption, which is already being incorporated by over 100 installers across California.
