Time to Rethink the Meter
The current system uses a meter hanging on the side of a building. It’s time to rethink the meter. The meter is built to measure power generated in front and used behind. This doesn’t work in our clean and distributed energy system.
The Three Stages of the Energy Transition
While rooftop solar panels and electric cars are becoming commonplace, we are just beginning a process that will span decades. Currently, renewable sources constitute just 13% of our energy production, and electric vehicles (EVs) make up a mere 1 in 10 vehicles sold.
Energy Convergence In Progress
Right now, we are going through a fundamental shift in our energy system. A transition driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions and powered
The Green Bonus: A New Lens on Sustainable Innovation
For decades, the journey towards a greener economy has operated under the idea of a “Green Premium,” a term suggesting that choosing sustainability over fossil
Has Solar Gone Dark?
On the one hand, the future has never looked brighter; renewable projects are bursting with potential. On the other, the transition seems to be stalling, creating a paradoxical landscape where progress appears to be moving backward while holding immense promise.
Energy as a Platform
Like a server on the Internet, the home is a smart node that creates, consumes, and manages power and contributes important data to the grid. We will produce power locally from rooftop solar. We will store power in batteries in our car or garage. We will get smarter about how we take power when it’s abundant and give power when it’s scarce.
