Quick Pitch

The US residential market for energy efficiency (“EE”) products and services, including LED lighting, solar hot water systems, geothermal heating and cooling and electric storage, is estimated to be over $100 billion. Our in home electric meters will use wireless communication to deliver energy consumption data to the customer and unlock this enormous market for products and services via user friendly mobile applications.

The average home needs $15,000 of energy efficiency upgrades that will amortize their cost from savings and produce positive cash flow when financed. These investments will reduce energy spend, increase comfort, add to the value of the home, and reduce it's carbon footprint.

We will provide the meter, educate the consumer to their energy investment opportunities, finance their upgrades, and deliver the upgrades through our network of local service providers.
