If you think batteries are just for backup, think again. The post-NEM 3.0 world has flipped residential solar economics—and companies like TeraHive are leading a storage revolution that’s all about ROI, not just resilience.

Ram Bhat, Head of Product at TeraHive, explores how software-first thinking and DC-coupled architecture are transforming what’s possible in home energy systems. Ram brings deep expertise from Enphase, fuel cells, and flywheels into a conversation that’s equal parts technical and strategic.

You’ll hear why the next big winners in storage will nail low cost, modularity, and software intelligence—and how software approaches to battery management could be the key to unlocking this much-needed grid-edge solution.

“The market has shifted from backup to ROI. If your battery system doesn’t pay back, it won’t get installed.” - Ram Bhat

Expect to learn:

🔹 How NEM 3.0 is reshaping battery attachment economics
🔹 Why autonomous, AI-driven systems are critical to homeowner adoption
🔹 The power of DC-coupled architecture for cost and efficiency
🔹 What it takes to serve the “middle-income” solar-plus-storage market
