Deployment Concepts

Pilot Programs
Pilot programs involve residential and commercial energy management projects tailored to the needs or service goals of a particular energy provider. Each em·power system is completely scalable to effectively fulfill the unique objectives of the pilot as determined by the energy provider. Smart Systems Technologies works directly with the energy provider to build business models for deployment and quantifiable results concerning, but not limited to, these areas:
• Consumer awareness & education
• Energy provider triggered demand management
• Automated meter data collection
• Participation verification
• Profile consumption & individual behavior data

Partner Programs
Similar to pilot programs, partner programs involve the participation of other companies at an equal level. For example, Smart Systems Technologies and the energy provider may choose to utilize an electronics or home improvement specialty retailer for marketing support and a homebuilder’s model home and development as the venue for deployment. Partner programs can be an example of increased effectiveness via collective resources.
