SolarEdge Technologies is partnering with WeaveGrid, a grid software provider for electric utilities, to support residential battery systems in utility grid programs. This will expand WeaveGrid’s Distribution-Integrated System Capacity Orchestration, which was originally designed to manage EV charging at scale.

“As electrification accelerates, utilities need solutions that go beyond managing a single asset type,” said Apoorv Bhargava, co-founder and CEO of WeaveGrid. “Partnering with SolarEdge reflects the next phase of DISCO — coordinating EVs and residential batteries together so utilities can manage local and system-wide grid needs while giving customers more opportunities to support the electric grid and receive financial incentives.”
DISCO is designed to be a utility platform for aligning customer energy use with distribution-level grid needs. For SolarEdge, the partnership expands the ways its residential battery customers can participate in utility programs, including virtual power plants and other grid services, depending on utility offerings and customer enrollment. For utilities, it is an approach to managing growing electrification and distributed energy resources in a single asset-level platform.
“This collaboration gives further access to utility programs that put more control and value directly into homeowners’ hands—from optimizing when their batteries charge and discharge to earning incentives for supporting grid stability,” said Tamara Sinensky, senior manager of grid services product at SolarEdge.
