When Uplight, a leading Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and demand-side management platform, needed to quickly onboard two new battery partners Enphase Energy and FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc., the stakes were high.
Thousands of dollars in upfront and ongoing incentives per battery were tied to program timelines. Any delay risked lost sales, missed customer benefits, and unnecessary strain on internal teams.
That’s where Derapi stepped in.
One Integration, Multiple Battery Partners
Using Derapi’s single, standardized API, Uplight was able to connect to both battery partners through one existing integration. What typically requires months of engineering work, coordination, and custom development was completed in just weeks—without expanding scope or diverting resources from core product work.
Derapi handled the complexity of device connectivity and interoperability, allowing Uplight to focus on scaling participation and program performance.
The Results
With Derapi in place, Uplight achieved:
-
Months of engineering and business development work saved
-
On-time program launches, preserving incentive eligibility
-
Customer incentives delivered as planned
-
No new long-term maintenance burden, even as partners scale
Battery partners gained faster access to the market, customers received incentives without delay, and Uplight’s team stayed focused on innovation rather than integration troubleshooting.
Scaling Participation Without Added Complexity
This collaboration demonstrates the value of a single integration layer that works across partners, programs, and devices.
One API. Multiple partners. Faster results.
That’s the power of Derapi.
