What happens when solar and batteries join forces? Together they can make the electric grid optional for many customers.

Utility customers have had three options for meeting their electricity needs: buy it, make it, or eliminate it. But now they have a fourth option: to shift it through demand flexibility.

WHY IT MATTERS
Demand flexibility can unlock $13 billion per year of avoided grid investment and 10 to 40% savings on customer bills.
