EG4 Electronics announced a strategic partnership with Molecule Systems, a Houston-based energy software company specializing in edge-based distributed energy resource (DER) orchestration, automated controls and cloud services.
The goal of the partnership is to help EG4 evolve from hardware manufacturer to software-defined energy platform, providing customers with a smarter, more seamless experience across energy storage, load management and home appliances.

“Our mission has always been to make advanced energy systems accessible, reliable and affordable,” said James Showalter, CEO of EG4 Electronics. “Partnering with Molecule gives us the software foundation to match the scale of our hardware ambitions, enabling faster innovation, seamless device integration and a superior customer experience across every product we offer, while positioning EG4 to unlock the full value stack through virtual power plants.”
Molecule’s infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform, originally developed for aerospace and defense-grade reliability, will power EG4’s next generation of energy management capabilities. Anchored by the MOS350 edge operating system, its architecture delivers real-time orchestration and optimization of DERs to maximize performance and value for both customers and the grid. For EG4, this enables software-hardware decoupling, interoperability across DERs, streamlined commissioning and centralized fleet management with full visibility, alerts and reporting.
“This partnership unifies our expanding ecosystem under one intelligent platform,” said Clinton O’Neill, VPP & DER Development Manager at EG4 Electronics. “With Molecule, we’re combining full site control across batteries, HVAC and future EV charging with access to utility and wholesale markets. Reliable site control and dispatch is what gives DERs real grid value, and together we’re setting a new benchmark for performance.”
