A Business Plan for Residential Microgrid Software
Abstract
Have you ever thought about going solar or getting an electric vehicle? Do you know
which utility rate would save you the most money? Does getting a battery make sense
for your home?
BUILD MY GRID is the first customer-centric platform that helps residential homeowners
answer some of these questions. BUILD MY GRID relies on backend algorithms that optimize
utility rates and renewable energy technologies to show customers how they can save
the most money by going green. Specifically, customers can compare utility rates,
examine different technology combinations, and see available grid services.
The energy landscape is morphing into a sustainable decentralized system of energy
resources. Residential customers will become increasingly empowered to participate
in bidirectional energy management. BUILD MY GRID will help individuals engage in
the energy transformation while simultaneously providing an important dataset for
traditional energy players, such as utilities.
