Houston, TX - February 2025 - Solis, one of the third largest solar string inverter manufacturers in the world, recently announced its partnership with Derapi, a leading cloud-based API platform for Distributed Energy Resources. This partnership is intended to better enable Solis solar energy storage customers to participate in and take advantage of Virtual Power Plant (VPP) programs across the United States and Canada.

"The distributed energy landscape is ripe for innovation," said James Qiao, General Manager of Solis. "Our collaboration with Derapi represents a significant step toward enabling homeowners to access programs in which they may not have the ability to in the past. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver sustainable and efficient energy solutions globally."
Key benefits of the Derapi and Solis partnership include:

• Effortless Enrollment: Residential and business battery storage owners can easily join VPP programs for which they are eligible, streamlining the process of accessing energy savings.
• Enhanced Savings: Participants can access additional utility incentives and VPP revenue.
• Energy Resilience: By joining VPP programs that dispatch distributed energy resources during times of stress on the grid, participants strengthen grid reliability and support the transition to a sustainable energy future.

"Smart energy storage inverters from Solis are an important part of the distributed energy ecosystem," said Thomas Lee, Founder and President of Derapi. "Our partnership gives owners of Solis energy storage inverters access to market- and utility-based programs offered by VPP and Demand Response providers using the Derapi platform.
