?? Milestone: First Pilot Shipped! ?? In September, our first pilot-scale system has officially been shipped to a facility in Becancour, Quebec, for on-site demonstrations! ??? This project, supported by a $1M grant from the Quebec government, is part of an 18-month initiative to pilot our technology alongside key players in the battery ecosystem. ?? In partnership with CNETE, a top Canadian electrochemistry research center, we’ll be working with a consortium of Quebec-based prospective customers to validate our technology. The goal? To push our system to over 1000 hours of continuous operation, further proving its real-world impact and scalability. ?? A huge shoutout to Materials Research LLC and Anoop Nagar for their exceptional work in helping us reach our critical milestone of 100 hours of continuous operation. ? This achievement paved the way for the upcoming Becancour pilot, where we’ll aim for even longer operation times and third-party validation of our technology. We’re excited to collaborate with our partners in Quebec and look forward to the results that will guide our journey toward scaling and commercialization. ?? Stay tuned for updates as we continue advancing towards a more sustainable future! ????

"Even if you’re ready for an electric vehicle, your home may not be. Stepwise developed a smart power monitor that sits between the electrical panel and the EV charger. It measures total amps flowing through the panel and can automatically keep the EV charger from exceeding the panel’s limits" As many as 50 million homes ?? in the US will struggle with expensive electric panel upgrades. Our deployments in greater Boston and Rhode Island have generated ~$7K of savings for homeowners per installation. Read more about our solution in this week's Boston Globe Technology. Thank you Hiawatha Bray for the feature.
