Problem
Households with solar panels and batteries often lack the tools to optimize energy consumption, leading to higher electricity bills and underutilization of renewable energy assets. Existing grid infrastructure struggles to integrate distributed energy resources effectively, hindering the transition to a fully decarbonized energy system.
Solution
Decent Energy offers an AI-driven software platform that aggregates and optimizes small-scale batteries and solar inverters into virtual power plants (VPPs). The platform intelligently shifts energy usage to periods when it is cheapest and greenest, reducing household electricity bills by an average of 25%. By connecting decentralized energy assets into dynamic smart grids, Decent Energy enables energy providers to maximize the utilization of renewable energy sources and enhance grid stability. The platform's simulations demonstrate potential savings of up to 35% for users with partial electric heat and 18% for partial load shifters.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes residential households with solar panels and battery storage systems seeking to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions, as well as energy providers looking to integrate decentralized energy resources into grid operations.
