Itochu has decided !The relationship of Solar / Battery to Grid owned and distributed by grid operators to residential has much less requirements with branding but rather strategic support longer term with deep pocket credible partners.
Duracell looks to be a retailer of residential systems in the US and other away from large scale grid projects.
Grid operators have no intentions nor need of paying fees for brand liscenses when there is no positive return as to the brand effect.
Eguana has in its own current situation has no credibility as to fees for branding to VPP therefore no brand marketing required.
Grid operators will offer their Solar Battery hook up of choice as part of long term lease for roofs where power generation is owned by grid operator. Roof owner gets lower retail power rates with some kind of ongoing royalty payment in their accounts.
System is completely monitered by cloud AI / Grid Operator .
Itochu owns the Eguana battery management technology.
How revenue with grid operators is worked out still to be determined.
Branding of system has little value other than the all powerfull grid operator has the requirement contractually to maintain and track efficiences of system with a predetermined peg. Mother Nature needs to cooperate.
Roof owner has much less worries and gets to track at anytime the performance of what is going on, on his roof.
Life is better................. well sort Of !
