At their core, smart meters are data engines. They provide utilities with visibility into how, when and where electricity is consumed. That granular knowledge allows grid operators to forecast demand more accurately, balance loads and absorb greater volumes of variable solar generation. Without it, the grid risks becoming brittle, prone to blackouts when clouds pass over solar farms or demand surges unexpectedly.

The stackable battery ranges 4.9 kWh to 19.6 kWh per unit while the inverter is available in ranges from 3.8 kW to 13 kW. The company also introduced a meter socket adapter to avoid triggering costly main panel upgrades.
