Did you know a homeowner with solar panels on their roof can’t use #solar energy when… ❌ they don’t use power in daylight hours ❌ they have no storage for it ❌ the solar panels aren’t connected in the electric grid to power others This is in large part due to a lack of energy storage solutions and lack of integration between grid vendors and components. To address these challenges, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Office of Electricity recently launched the Beyond the Meter: Energy Storage Integration Prize. This $200,000 prize is intended for companies and coalitions with a behind-the-meter grid-edge technology who want to integrate with more vendors in the grid. Up to two winners will win a cash prize of $100,000 and have exclusive opportunities to network with other grid vendors at DISTRIBUTECH International with the goal of integrating technologies. Learn more about prize eligibility, submission materials, key dates and more in the Sept. 24 Informational Webinar 👉 https://bit.ly/4gk8JIz
