Problem Statement

Expanding and upgrading existing alternative energy systems with disparate batteries is complex and costly with no centralized automation.

Amplifying Statement

Alternative energy systems, that are independent of the power grid, predominantly rely on batteries to store energy for later use. Due to the incompatibility of connecting disparate batteries into a parallel array, users are unable to easily add batteries to their existing arrays. Existing solutions either require a user to continuously monitor charge levels and manually connect and disconnect charged batteries, or automate the process by purchasing separate charge controllers for each dissimilar battery or battery array. This approach also requires individual loads, often in the form of inverters, for each of these batteries, which in turn accrues further cost.
