Introducing Community Wave

In sunny WA, rooftop solar panels often generate more power than homes and businesses use. The excess energy flows back into the grid, which needs to be carefully balanced to stay stable.



Community Wave is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that helps manage this flow by coordinating energy from solar systems and home batteries.
