We had the pleasure of speaking with SwitchDin CEO and Co-Founder, Andrew Mears PhD, at the World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi. He filled us in on the details regarding the current state of SwitchDin and the challenges renewable energy faces. “Well the problem we’re solving is that the technology and products that make up this asset base, the solar PV inverters, and the battery inverters, it’s a very fragmented market. There’s a lack of standards to allow interconnection, and even the standards that are there aren’t uniformly implemented, but also even with standards in place, the way we manage and optimise these systems, changes depending upon the products, so we basically enable a utility to take a battery and solar agnostic approach to building aggregated services.”
