Bull points
- We are developing the E360 home energy storage system, which we expect to bring positive change to the industry in barrier price, flexibility, and integration.

- We believe the home energy market provides complementary economics to our business model with an opportunity to generate recurring revenue streams while enabling margin expansions.
