Our philosophy

You need only read our founder's early blog posts on the subject of open energy management to know we are committed to empowering consumers with the information and tools they need to make smart energy choices.

We believe in the power of a few motivated people to bring about major social change. That's why Grid Insight exists -- to bring about change. Everything else is secondary.

When it comes to energy management software, we know we don't have the scale to compete with Google, Microsoft, Itron, or even Tendril. So we're not even going to try. But we are going to provide the tools to allow the Open Source software community to do what they want with our hardware, which we pledge to keep as affordable as possible while still reasonably covering our engineering, manufacturing, and operating costs.
