When Enphase Energy set out to make its IQ Battery more valuable for customers, participating in California’s Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program was a clear opportunity.
The challenge wasn’t access, it was execution.
Market signals needed to be translated into precise, real-time battery commands. Performance data had to be reported accurately and automatically to meet program requirements. And all of it had to happen quickly, with limited internal resources and no room for operational drag.
That’s where Derapi came in.
From Market Signal to Battery Action, Fast
Using Derapi’s Control API, Enphase was able to translate signals from Olivine directly into real-time IQ Battery actions. At the same time, Derapi’s Data API automated performance reporting and compliance, removing the need for manual workflows or custom integrations.
The entire implementation—from integration to live operation was completed in just four weeks, without overextending Enphase’s internal teams.
The Results
With Derapi handling the complexity behind the scenes, Enphase was able to scale participation quickly and confidently:
-
Multi-MW aggregation achieved within weeks
-
Thousands of customers enrolled in DSGS
-
Seamless expansion into additional programs like ELRP
-
Stronger customer ROI, delivering up to $450 per battery per year
-
Increased battery adoption and sales, driven by more attractive program economics
By simplifying how batteries connect, respond, and report, Enphase delivered value faster, turning grid programs into a meaningful customer and business advantage.
Building for Participation at Scale
This collaboration highlights what becomes possible when integration friction disappears. With a single, trusted API layer, energy programs can move from concept to scale without custom builds, long timelines, or operational strain.
One API. Faster enrollment. Stronger ROI.
That’s the power of Derapi.
