Tabuchi Electric and Geli announced a partnership that will deliver a residential solar-plus-storage solution designed to enable faster solar market growth. The combination of Geli's software with Tabuchi's hardware helps utilities manage distributed solar and additional home energy devices to optimize grid performance. By providing utilities with confidence that they can reliably integrate solar into the grid, the partnership is designed to accelerate residential solar growth.

Tabuchi's EneTelus Intelligent Battery System (EIBS) residential solar-plus-storage solution is now delivered loaded with Geli's Energy Operating System software. The combined hardware and software solution connects with solar installations and smart home devices such as smart thermostats and pool pumps to systematically manage energy flow from the home to the grid. The partnership will give utilities far deeper insight into distributed generation and enable them to manage entire fleets of inverters across a service area, implement automated demand response programs and improve operations across programs.
