Wattmore, founded by JW Postal, provides energy management software designed to support the evolving energy storage industry. JW discussed Wattmore's history, its focus on behind-the-meter projects, and its agnostic approach to hardware, allowing it to work with various battery chemistries and inverter companies. He explained the company's growth, its "rip and replace" services for stranded assets, and its partnership with EOS for zinc-based batteries. The conversation also covered the challenges of integrating different technologies, the importance of standards like IEC, and the future of energy systems, including the role of AI and the need for domestic manufacturing. JW shared his perspective on energy policy, advocating for clean, domestic energy solutions, and briefly mentioned his side project as an author of crime thrillers. Topics Covered
