How to Sign Up for Solar Energy: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you ready to transition to cleaner, more cost-effective energy by signing up for solar? With the growing emphasis on sustainable energy, enrolling in a solar program can help you save money and contribute to a greener planet. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you sign up for solar energy with ease.
Step 1: Sign Your Solar Lease Addendum
The first step in your solar enrollment is to sign the solar lease addendum. This important document can be accessed through your rent portal or obtained from your property management team. By signing this addendum, you confirm your participation in the solar program, initiating the process towards cleaner energy.

Step 2: Disable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Your Online Utility Account
For Ivy Energy to seamlessly access your utility meter data, you need to disable multi-factor authentication (MFA) in your online utility account. This step ensures that there are no additional verifications required, allowing for smooth data access. Here’s how you can do it:
Log in to your online utility account.

Click "Account" from the main navigation page and then click "My Profile".
Scroll to the "Enable 2-Step Verification" section under your contact information.
Click the toggle from blue to white. If it is already white, leave it as is.

Step 3: Ensure You Have an Online Utility Account
Make sure you have an online utility account with your electricity provider. If you do not have one, you will need to set it up. Having an online account is essential for connecting and managing your solar services.

Step 4: Authorize Your Utility Account
To connect Ivy Energy with your utility account, scan the QR code provided in the solar enrollment document or visit utilityapi.com/authorize/ivyenergy. This authorization allows Ivy Energy to access your utility data, facilitating the integration of your solar services.

By following these steps, you will be well on your way to enjoying the numerous benefits of solar energy. Not only will you save money on your electricity bills, but you will also contribute to making the planet a greener place to live. It’s a win-win situation!
