About GigaGrid

The GigaGrid product team is developing a plug-and-play framework for monitoring and controlling the power grid. The flagship solution, from GigaGrid is a 100% dispatchable, distributed solution that is simpler and lower cost than current solar + storage systems. It combines solar PV arrays with 2.5 hours, 5 hours, or 10 hours of modular battery storage, tri-port power converters and integrated racking. It reduces the levelized cost of energy and increases energy delivered by avoiding most of the solar clipping and roundtrip losses in conventional systems. Because the power is 100% dispatchable, it allows for grid insertion anytime, whenever it is most valuable. This dramatically improves the economics of solar energy by minimizing the reliance on energy sales during peak daylight hours when solar power can have little or no value as a grid resource.

GigaGrid is part of the Endeavour Energy ecosystem, a purpose-driven organization helping innovators to develop and launch global solutions for global challenges in the areas of energy, water, and waste to guarantee renewable energy and clean water to everyone, everywhere. Endeavour companies are made up of passionate change-makers who want to leave the world better than the way we found it. Today, Endeavour is deploying solutions that are immediately scalable and profitable, including EV charging, data center cooling, and waste to fuel systems. As we look to the future, Endeavour and GigaGrid intend to remain at the forefront of innovation, taking on grander challenges based on the needs of our clients and of local economies.
