EnergyBoom is an energy optimization company. We solve that riddle with our WattChop platform — which sizes your solar-and-battery system free, then drives your battery with WattChop Drive to get the most out of the utility rates you’re actually on. When your utility publishes new rates, Drive changes with them — keeping your system saving every year you’re subscribed.
Markets move. Weather shifts. Your usage changes. We optimize against whatever the market gives you, and we keep doing it — so your system is always saving the most the conditions allow.
WattChop Drive runs on the Drive Controller at your site, on its own — following live grid, load, and solar every second, even if the internet drops. It answers the riddle every energy customer is trying to solve:
You can buy the best battery on the market and still leave most of its value unclaimed — because the value was never in the hardware. It's in the dispatch: knowing, hour by hour, when energy is cheapest to store and most expensive to pull back out.
And the rates that decide that aren't simple anymore. Time-of-use windows, demand charges, critical-peak events, real-time price curves — the structure shifts by season, by day, sometimes hour to hour. A battery running on a schedule someone set once, on install day, can't keep up. Most of them don't. They quietly underperform for twenty years and nobody notices.
That gap — between a battery that just sits there and a battery that knows when it’s optimal to run — is the entire reason WattChop Drive exists.
Optimizing a battery means knowing the true, time-of-day value of energy on your specific tariff — and that value is buried in rate structures that are dense, inconsistent between utilities, and constantly revised.
EnergyBoom maintains its own tariff database: the foundation every sizing and every Drive site runs on. It’s what lets WattChop reason about the real cost and value of every hour, on your utility, in your market — and it’s how Drive changes when your utility publishes new rates. Built to work wherever you are, not just in the handful of territories everyone else covers.
It's the part nobody sees and the part everything depends on. When the rates change, the foundation changes with them, and your optimization stays honest.
Plenty of companies will sell you a battery. Plenty will sell you software and leave the hard part — making it actually perform — to you. EnergyBoom couples the missing pieces together and does the part nobody else wants to own: standing behind the outcome, for the life of the system.
The Tariff Smart planning is the same either way. The only question is who runs it on your battery — and WattChop Drive is priced for commercial-scale systems.
One panel that answers every question a stakeholder ever asks about a battery — the open dashboard, the health diagnostics, the savings, and the dispatch proof, in a single NASA-style view. It’s the project-level command center for your system, and it’s included with WattChop Drive.
Everyone in that list is serving the same person: whoever pays the bill and owns the battery. That’s who Drive ultimately works for.
We model your site against your actual utility tariff and show you what an optimized system saves — real numbers on your real rates. If it makes sense to build, we’ll make it drive itself. If it doesn’t, you’ll know that too, and you’ll know why. There are two ways in.
