Most smart energy systems are anything but. They demand attention, knowledge, and time – three things many households can’t spare. Homegrid™ changes that.

Homegrid is a calm, intelligent energy system that automatically lets homes manage their own renewable energy. It connects to solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, and heat pumps and continuously optimizes how and when energy is used, stored, or shared. There are no dashboards or micromanaging, just quiet, daily action guided by real-time prices, grid pressure, and CO₂ data.

The result is more than savings. Homegrid offers energy self-sufficiency with peace of mind. Its modular, future-ready design makes it simple to upgrade as new tech emerges, reducing waste and prolonging product life. Its elegant hardware and invisible software embody a design principle Watts lives by: assist where needed and minimize where possible.

Homegrid helps homeowners participate in the green transition without complexity or compromise, turning ordinary households into active players in a more stable, sustainable energy system.

The Jury says

Homegrid turns household energy management into something intuitive, accessible, and genuinely empowering. This small device coordinates a home’s electricity and, when paired with solar panels, enables users to save energy, earn from contributing to the public grid, and strengthen a more flexible energy system. It transforms energy production from a niche interest into a shared, community-minded practice rooted in a modern take on the cooperative spirit. By letting homes make smart decisions automatically, it removes complexity while supporting sustainable habits.

Homegrid reimagines how we understand and engage with energy through simple, effective design that just works.
