Challenge
Enphase saw a clear opportunity to increase customer ROI through California’s Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program. Participating meant building complex signal translation, dispatch control, and compliance reporting, pulling critical engineering resources away from core product priorities.
Solution
We drove ~5× year-over-year DSGS revenue growth in 2025.
We enabled full DSGS participation in four weeks through a single integration layer, real-time battery control, and automated reporting. Beyond integration, we supported aggregator operations by validating dispatch performance, maximizing device response, and ensuring compliant program execution at scale.
Results & Benefits
Successful dispatch performance across Enphase’s fleet of thousands of batteries.
- Faster enrollment at scale: Thousands of customers enrolled in multi-megawatt aggregations
- Direct participation in DSGS: Enabled Enphase’s participation as a registered aggregator, reducing cost and operational complexity.
- Stronger customer ROI: Up to $450 per year in potential earnings per battery
- Ongoing performance optimization: Validated dispatch delivery, maximized device response, and delivered post-event performance insights to improve future results
- Seamless program expansion: ELRP added without additional technical lift
- Improved battery economics: Stronger ROI supports higher sales and program adoption
Why It Worked
We bridged the gap between distributed batteries and wholesale market programs with a standardized, manufacturer-approved integration layer.
By handling signal translation, dispatch control, automated reporting, and event performance oversight, we removed the friction that typically slows market participation, making enrollment fast and compliant while continuously improving from day one.
Customer Perspective
“Derapi has provided real value in supporting delivery of our Grid Services programs. Their team has proven that they can deliver integrations to utility and market programs quickly, reliably, and at scale.”
