Solar 103: Transforming Solar into Stored Energy and Savings

SPEAKER: Steve Johnson, Convergence Energy

A stimulating overview and discussion of an integrated hardware/software platform that combines battery storage with renewable energy sources like solar.  This can shorten the payback period of distributed renewable energy by up to 50%, potentially tripling a building owner's energy cost savings. The large scale and intelligent management of the network of home and businesses allows it to provide additional benefits to the building owner, in effect, creating the equivalent of a virtual power plant.
