Chorus is device agnostic, securely bringing everything from stationary batteries to heat pumps into the new energy economy.
Any Chorus-connected DER can harness the power of dcbel’s real-time proactive energy management, which reduces costs and emissions by up to 40%.
Any solar panel, any location, any weather – Chorus maximizes household solar energy usage based on a rolling forecast of the installation’s expected generation.
Chorus learns a home’s unique energy consumption patterns and generates a granular load forecast to secure all required energy at the best available price and carbon footprint.
Utilities, commercial aggregators and other stakeholders can simulate a mass onboarding of solar, storage and bidirectional EV energy to validate their financial models, with variable grid pricing and optimization factored in.
The power of Chorus is not limited to network-connected energy resources. energy resources – it can bring analog devices into the next-generation energy marketplace as well. Enable remote management, diagnostics, firmware updates, alert monitoring and other intelligence using our platform.
Chorus minimizes home battery degradation using a comprehensive battery specifications database. Model-specific factors like discharge curve and rated capacity are factored in real time to compute the true cost of discharging, so that Chorus will only send commands when the benefits outweigh the costs.
