Pila Makes Intelligent Energy Management Accessible to All
Laura McQuarrie — December 3, 2025Pila is a first-of-its-kind plug-in home and building battery system that offers a fresh approach to behind-the-meter storage and making intelligent energy management more accessible without rewiring, installers, or complexity. Unlike comparable solutions that are costly, laborious to install and inaccessible to renters and small sites, Pila offers an alternative to systems that are rigid, centralized, and challenging to scale room by room or unit by unit. Pila integrates with existing solar, smart meters, and grid signals, and incorporates safe lithium iron phosphate cells, bidirectional power electronics, revenue-grade submetering, and edge compute for real-time control and edge-AI.
Combining energy storage, power control, and local intelligence, Pila is a 2026 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in two categories: Smart Home and Sustainability & Energy Transition.
