Show Notes
Solar scaled first to become king in residential smart energy. But as other residential DER tech has advanced -- EVs, batteries, smart panels, and so forth -- has solar been dethroned as the anchor product in this space?
We’ll walk with Arch Rao, the CEO of Span, about the biggest technological changes underway in home energy.
- How should we sell and manage distributed energy resources?
- Who buys them, and what do we actually do with them?
- What will scale to the mass market?
- How will consumers interact with their DERs?
Span is a startup making a new kind of smart electrical panel. It just raised a $20m VC round and announced an integration with Alexa. Prior to Arch, helped lead the product team at Tesla that built and launched the Powerwall.
