A better way to think about home energy

Most homeowners have been taught to think about energy in only one direction: buy from the grid and use it.

Your home can become more active. It can buy power more intelligently. It can keep free generation for later. And in the right setup, it can sell energy back when the grid needs support.

That is a fundamentally better energy position than simply being a passive bill payer.
