Today we speak with Ben Parvey the CEO at OhmGrid. Where they are helping residential customers get off the grid, they do this through a model where they effectively just switch out some equipment, and then you pay around the same price as your electricity bill. The difference is, that you'll no longer be reliant on the grid and will have guaranteed electricity.
What they are doing is really cool, I feel it has a strong appeal to many people given the power outage issues across our country.
The Main talking points of today's discussion are:
- Intro
- Getting into Energy Space
- Starting in the Recession
- Going off the Grid
