(a) Virtual Power Plant Program (VPPP) means a network of distributed energy resources (DER), such as rooftop solar photovoltaic systems and battery energy storage systems that are hosted on the rooftops of eligible homeowners, businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations, to generate and store electricity at a local level. This network of Solar Hosts is contracted through a Developer and managed by GPA through aggregation software that can control the production, storage, and output of energy from these systems as if this network of rooftop solar systems and battery energy storage systems were a single power plant.

(b) Solar Host means a qualified homeowner, business owner, government of Guam agency or non-profit organization whose house, commercial building, or government-owned building at which the electricity-generating and energy storage equipment is installed, owned, operated, and maintained by the Developer and who is not a current customer-generator under the Net Metering System. The Solar Host is then compensated for leasing their rooftop space through credits that are awarded to offset or reduce their power bill or direct lease payments from the Developer. The energy generated by the Developer will be sold to the utility at a negotiated rate between the utility and the Developer.

(c) Solar Photovoltaic System means technology and equipment that converts sunlight into electricity, to include, but not be limited to, panels, inverters, mounting, and batteries and storage systems.
