How it Works
Step 1: Installation Process
Our hardware is installed on each water heater (30 min process, retrofit or new construction). No plumbing or tank alterations required. A wifi or cellular connection is established to Armada Power’s enterprise software platform in the cloud.
Step 2: Utility Signal
Local utilities dispatch a usage reduction signal to the Armada Power platform, which then evaluates and prioritizes tanks based on status and manages the fleet based on the utility usage and reduction need.
Step 3: Smart Appliance = Energy Storage
Armada Power takes advantage of the stored thermal energy in every tank which keeps water temperature stable. Armada Power only operates within the natural set point of the water heater and monitors temperature in real time.
Step 4: Incremental NOI & Value
Utilities pay property owners a demand response participation incentive. Additionally, property owners and operators receive real-time tank data and alerts. Armada Power can also be aligned with leasing systems to reduce vacant area costs.
