Designing and developing a home electrification project platform

Problem

The founders of Gridly had an ambitious idea to build a "home energy transition integrator" to generate customized whole-home electrification plans. The existing process was complex and expensive, so they set out to give homeowners a simple way to understand the cost of electrification.

Solution

The Gnar partnered with Gridly to design and build a responsive web application that helps homeowners to convert their residences to net zero via a simple user-friendly web platform. A user enters their home address and is recommended several home projects to reduce their fossil fuel emissions, as well as their overall energy usage. Homeowners are given estimates for these projects and connected with vendors to assist them in their home energy transition.We used geographic and public record information about a home's heating, cooling, septic, and power systems to compile an action plan for homeowners to implement.

Results

Gridly launched in March 2023, with a goal of helping Massachusetts reach its goal of electrifying over 175,000 homes in 2023.
