EnSync, Inc. announced the addition of demand management capability to the EnSync Home Energy System to create the "EnSync Smart Home." The EnSync Smart Home system integrates the management of on-site solar plus storage with the management of demand from residential appliances, including electric water heaters, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting sources and electric vehicle charging stations. By enabling this level of coordination between photovoltaics (PV), batteries, the utility grid and home consumption, the system not only optimizes energy for price and reliability, but also increases energy autonomy. The EnSync Smart Home is the latest development of the EnSync Home Energy System, which debuted in May 2018. Designed for multi-unit properties and residential communities, the system's modular structure, DC BUS architecture and IoE communications, command and control platform optimizes the economics of clean energy for both multi-family properties and individual homes. Its lithium-iron-phosphate battery chemistry also ensures greater energy storage safety. To achieve further grid independence, EnSync Smart Home can also integrate individual residential units into an energy sharing network with the EnSync True Peer-to-PeerTM DC-Link. By allowing individual residential units to exchange electricity directly with one another, this feature mitigates the inefficiencies created by vacancy rates, time-of-day absence and micro-loading effects in multi-unit properties or communities, increasing utilization of the solar generation across the network as a whole.
EnSync, Inc., doing business as EnSync Energy Systems (EnSync Energy), is focused on distributed energy resource (DER) systems and Internet of energy (IOE) control platforms. EnSync Energy ensures electricity, delivered from an electrical infrastructure that prioritizes the use of all available resources, such as renewables, energy storage and the utility grid. As a project developer, EnSync Energy's distinctive engagement methodology encompasses load analysis, system design consulting, and technical and financial modeling to ensure energy systems are sized and optimized. Its direct current (DC) power control hardware, energy management software, and experience with energy storage technologies positions EnSync Energy to deliver fully integrated systems that provide for design, procurement, commissioning and ongoing operation. In addition to direct system sales, EnSync Energy includes power purchase agreements (PPAs). The Company is on the verge of initiating insolvency proceedings.
