EG4 Electronics is joining with Leap to enable EG4 products acceptance in virtual power plant (VPP) programs.
Through this collaboration, EG4 inverters and batteries integrated with Leap’s platform will enable customers to access home backup with grid-interactive capabilities, automated participation in utility and wholesale market grid services programs, and monetization of battery storage and flexible load assets.
“Our mission at EG4 is to make dependable whole-home backup accessible while delivering long-term value,” said James Showalter, CEO of EG4 Electronics. “Collaborating with Leap allows EG4 systems to go further — supporting grid reliability and enabling customers to participate in energy markets without sacrificing simplicity or performance.”
Leap provides a white-label VPP solution delivered under the EG4 brand, automating enrollment, dispatch, market bidding and performance optimization.
“With a strong hardware ecosystem and a growing installed base, EG4 is well-positioned to scale participation in energy markets through Leap’s platform,” said Corey Bentine, Director of Business Development at Leap. “Together, we’re removing barriers to grid participation and making it easier for residential and commercial energy assets to deliver real, measurable value at scale.”
EG4 energy storage systems integrated with Leap’s platform enable grid-connected operation that supports both backup power and grid services participation.
“Dependable backup is the start of the conversation, but community resilience is the goal,” said Clinton O’Neill, VPP & DER Development Manager of EG4 Electronics. “By partnering with Leap, we are turning individual home systems into a synchronized network that generates value and stability for the entire community while keeping the homeowner’s experience seamless and powerful.”
Select programs and installations will be highlighted through co-branded case studies demonstrating system performance and grid impact in real-world conditions. Software integration between EG4 and Leap is currently underway, with completion targeted for March 2026. Additional program details will be announced as integration milestones are reached.
