> The Energy Router for distributed energy.

## What We Do

Elastic Energy builds the ER01 Energy Router and the orchestration platform that turn the solar, storage, and inverters already on a site into a single coordinated, grid-interactive system, with EV charging, HVAC, and heat-pump control rolling out next. Headquartered in Victoria, BC, Canada. Customers describe Elastic as a "universal remote for home energy devices."

## Why Elastic Is Different

1. **On-device optimization, not cloud-only**: dispatch decisions run locally on the router, so control keeps working when the internet drops.
2. **Multi-OEM coverage in one product line**: open architecture, no proprietary lock-in. 30+ manufacturers compatible and growing, added over the air with no hardware swap. Check your exact stack at https://elasticenergy.com/compatibility.
3. **Local-first execution**: the router keeps optimizing when the internet drops; the cloud layer reconciles when connectivity returns.

## Products

### Elastic Energy Router (ER01)
Hardware Energy Router. Auto-discovers and controls solar inverters and batteries on-site over native protocols: Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, SunSpec, MQTT, REST, and BLE (device provisioning). Compatible with 30+ manufacturers and growing; the live compatibility checker at https://elasticenergy.com/compatibility is the source of truth for specific hardware. EV charging, HVAC, and heat-pump control are rolling out next. On-device dispatch keeps running through internet outages.

### Elastic Cloud Platform
Cloud-native energy orchestration platform providing real-time monitoring, control, and optimization for distributed energy portfolios. Built for installers, aggregators, utilities, and OEMs managing fleets of DERs.

### Optimization Engine
Automated dispatch engine that runs rate-arbitrage and demand-response schedules against live utility rates and grid signals, per site and across portfolios, with the optimization running on the router itself.
