The sun doesn’t shine all the time.

So we combine energy storage with solar power to give you grid

independence day or night.

The Need

Solar is becoming the cheapest form of power

Grid capacity to connect solar is limited

Inevitable end to net metering and feed-in tariffs

Electric utility charges are rapidly increasing

Grid outages are up 30% since 2008

U.S. “soft costs” for solar are world’s highest

Our Solution

Modular, plug-and-play power modules

“Open source” plug-in energy storage

Simplified configuration

Great price for grid independence

Optimized for residential installation

Home owner installable

The High and Low Points

Incorporated June 2013, beta delivery April 2015

Survived a supplier fire, longshoremen strike, and corporate poverty

Company reset with more targeted product

42% click-through rate of April Pennwell mailing, highest ever recorded by publication

First production and $260K revenue this quarter

What hasn’t killed us made us stronger

Lessons Learned

1. Location, location, location - all different

2. Solar installers are not the target market

3. Architects and homeowners want simplicity

4. 7kW to 10kW is current sweet spot

5. Modular installation critical in homes

6. National Electric Code isn’t ready for this

All solar installations will include energy storage by 2020

Page 6: Elecyr pitch deck (ppt)

Forecasts agree. Residential energy storage market will top 100MW by 2018. $500M segment of $3.8B market.
