Research Projects
We facilitate cutting-edge research to cultivate a deep understanding of home electrification and how residential solar can play a key role in leading this movement.
We use insights from our research to establish projects, which combine industry and academic mentors with Design Lab researchers to invent, develop, and share helpful tools and ideas directly with the industry.
Together we are building a community that is collectively aimed at activating residential solar contractors to accelerate growth through the electrification movement.

Building Calibrated Models of Home Energy Use
Electrifying homes will result in increased electricity usage and new patterns of when energy is used. Predicting the impact of electrification for each hour of the year is extremely important
Integrating Solar and Electrification Benefits Into Customer Proposals
Homeowners are faced with multiple options for upgrading their energy systems and reducing their utility bills. Today, solar contractors use standard tools to educate homeowners on the benefits of a
Crowdsourcing Real-Time Rebate Information
Billions of dollars are poised to flow into home electrification in the form of direct incentives, rebates, and tax credits. If harnessed correctly this capital could dramatically accelerate the uptake
