Member Success Stories
Many organizations are investing in a brighter future using Particle
Shifted Energy
Shifted Energy is driving the energy economy to 100% renewable. Electric water heaters act as a battery to temporarily store renewable energy during the day, which utility companies use to shift energy loads during peak demand hours.
With Particle’s platform, Shifted Energy is retrofitting already deployed water heaters into energy storage units.
