Product · Price Signals

One signal your device can actually optimize against.

One unified signal for rate-aware product behavior

Every input that moves a real bill - utility tariffs, wholesale prices, export rates, demand-response dispatch, and carbon intensity - weighted, refined, and delivered as one signal your software can actually optimize against.

Signal inputs

What goes into the signal

Tariffs, wholesale prices, export rates, demand response, and carbon context converge into one operational price signal.

Why this product exists

The longer argument behind the signal.

The product page explains what the signal does. The Why page explains why five partial economic inputs eventually become a product problem.

Build price-aware energy software on one economic layer.

Start with the solution surface that best fits your workflow, then expand as your software goes deeper into operating logic and reporting.
