DG Matrix

Here's a sneak peak at a case study for how DG Matrix can help a convenience store chain deploy EV charging years faster and more cost-effectively. The customer: Major gas station chain in the United States operating about 800 locations. The problem: After making a commitment to deploy EV charging at 800 sites, the customer quickly realized they would experience multi-year grid upgrade delays and significantly-higher utility bills at more than 80% of the sites. They explored legacy DER-integration solutions and found the resulting complexity and economics infeasible. The solution: The DG Matrix Power Router provides a standardized, single-unit solution to integrate grid, solar, battery, and backup generation with EV charging. The results: - Reduce 11 power-conversion components to 1 - Cut utility bills + demand charges by as much as 70% - Significantly decrease CapEx requirements from hardware + installation - Implement a standardized, scalable design across all 800 sites Keep an eye out for the full analysis to be shared next week! #powerrouter #evcharging #distributedenergy #gasstation #conveniencestore #electrification #microgrid #electricvehicles

🚗⚡ Electrifying Your Fleet Isn’t an ESG Decision; It’s a Business Decision. Though educing emissions and contributing to a cleaner environment are undeniable benefits, going electric is also a smart financial move for forward-thinking businesses. Here’s why: ✅ Lower Operating Costs: EVs have significantly lower fuel and maintenance costs compared to traditional diesel or gasoline vehicles. With fewer moving parts and increasing access to affordable charging options, fleets can achieve long-term savings. ✅ Energy Management Opportunities: Pairing fleet electrification with energy storage, demand response programs, or renewable energy can reduce demand charges and lower electricity costs, further optimizing your bottom line. ✅ Future-Proofing Your Operations: Governments and regulators worldwide are driving ambitious decarbonization goals, with incentives today and penalties tomorrow. Transitioning to EVs now positions your business as a leader, ahead of inevitable regulations. ✅ Attracting Talent and Customers: Consumers and employees are increasingly drawn to companies that prioritize sustainability. Electrifying your fleet shows a commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. Electrification is no longer a distant goal—it’s happening now. By integrating smart charging infrastructure, advanced energy management, and cost-efficient fleet solutions, businesses can turn sustainability into profitability. 💡 Ready to take the next step? Let’s talk about how to make your fleet electrification a success. #FleetElectrification #Sustainability #EVCharging #EnergyManagement #CleanTransportation #ElectricVehicles

Each event was a reminder of how collaboration and shared vision are accelerating the transition to a more sustainable and efficient energy future. 🚀🌍 We’re immensely grateful to our partners, customers, and colleagues who have made 2024 a milestone year. The insights gained and relationships built will propel us as we gear up for even bigger milestones in 2025. #energy #electrification #thoughtleadership #evcharging #fleetevcharging #microgrids #distributedenergy #datacenters #aidatacenters #futureofenergy

Over 50% of school districts who received a portion of $1 billion in federal funding for school bus electrification delayed or canceled their plans due to energy infrastructure challenges. While school bus electrification offers a significant opportunity to reduce emissions and to lower long-term operational costs, there are major challenges, including: - Grid constraints causing years-long delays and costly upgrades - High initial costs - Complex charging and power management requirements - Higher utility bills - Complex development, installation, and commissioning The biggest challenge: scalability. We need simple, flexible, and scalable solutions that can be seamlessly deployed across hundreds of sites. In the article below, we discuss solutions to the most critical challenges to school bus electrification and how the DG Matrix Power Router can help lower costs, reduce deployment timelines, simplify projects, and streamline operations.

Our strategic partner XLR8 America (XLR8America.net) recently announced their ambitious plan to install 30,000 EV chargers by 2027. DG Matrix is excited to support XLR8 America by providing the most scalable, efficient, and resilient solutions that solve the most critical challenges to vehicle electrification, including high energy costs and grid constraints. In conjunction with the press release, XLR8 released their eBook, the "Ultimate Charging Solutions Installation Guide," to demystify the process of deploying EV charging for your business. Stay tuned for more information as we deepen our partnership with XLR8 and begin deployments together in 2025, and check out the press release below to see the quotes from XLR8 and DG Matrix CEOs Frank O'Connor and Haroon Inam. #evcharging #electrification

It's an EV charger! It's a microgrid! It's a datacenter power supply! Nope...it's a Power Router acting as all three at once. As an entirely new category of solution, the Power Router often gets categorized as one or the other. But the beauty of the technology is that you don't have to choose. Think of the Power Router as the central hub for all energy sources and loads. It combines every energy source on a site, combines the energy, and routes it to each load, whether an EV charger, a building, or an AI datacenter rack. With a unified hardware solution across multiple applications, DG Matrix unlocks unprecedented flexibility and scalability, reducing complexity for our customers and simplifying our business. With Power Router, one solution creates endless possibilities. #powerrouter #electrification #energy #microgrid #evcharging #datacenter

The Paradox of Distributed Energy: More Control, More Connection We’re living in a fascinating time for energy. On one hand, distributed energy systems—solar, batteries, EV chargers—are empowering individuals and businesses to take control of their energy use. But here’s the paradox: as we decentralize energy generation and storage, we’re becoming more connected than ever. These systems are no longer isolated; they’re tightly interwoven with the grid, enabling innovative solutions like: - Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) - Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) integration - Demand response programs This interplay of independence and interdependence is reshaping how we think about energy. It’s not just about reducing dependence on the grid—it’s about using smarter, interconnected systems to stabilize the grid, reduce costs, and drive sustainability. At DG Matrix, we’re at the heart of this energy evolution, developing solutions that empower users while enhancing connectivity with the broader energy ecosystem. The future isn’t one or the other—it’s both control and connection, working together for a cleaner, smarter energy landscape. How do you see the balance of autonomy and connectivity shaping the energy transition? Let’s discuss! #DistributedEnergy #SmartGrid #CleanEnergy #Electrification #Microgrids
