Nor is it always clear which vendor is in charge of managing the interplay of solar power, battery storage capacity, and household loads. Managing those tasks is necessary to maximize the savings homeowners expect and to allow them to earn money by making their battery’s capacity available to utility or energy market grid services programs.
“To truly be a smart-home provider, not just smart whole home controls but at the grid level, the key barrier is software,” Finn-Foley said. Girotra says that Lunar Energy has developed its own software to “do things like keep the battery safe, control on and off-grid ramifications, or communicate from the solar to the battery.” For much of the remainder of the software functionality involved, Lunar Energy will be making use of Moixa’s GridShare software, he added.
