From home automation and EV chargers to solar, battery storage and electric heating and cooling systems, homeowners are looking for ways to cut costs and make their homes cleaner. Electric HVAC systems may save homeowners money long-term. Switching to electric can lower air pollution. homes is all-electric.

Particularly as Texans embrace electric heating, cooling, and even vehicles, putting more demand on the grid. They help keep the lights on, costs down, and polluting “peaker plants” offline, despite demand spikes during hot and cold weather. In the industry, we call this kind of bridge a “ virtual power plant ” (VPP).

Fortunately, with current solar, battery and heat pump technology every building with a sunny roof under two stories can be a net generator of energy — essentially carbon negative. Moreover, with grid-connected batteries, buildings can easily provide the resiliency that our grid needs during power shortages and blackouts.

In the cleantech and climate tech arena, I often see pitches focused on tackling some big, nebulous problem such as “solving the climate crisis” or “eliminating pollution.” Or maybe you are presenting a new lithium-ion battery anode chemistry. Very cool, but how does it compare on energy density, safety, charge rate, and cycle life?

Among the chief culprits is air quality, which, in turn, is often impacted by polluting power plants that burn fossil fuels. Peaker plants are typically the most polluting and expensive resources in the system. Particularly egregious are so-called peaker power plants , which run only when demand for electricity is high.
