ReJoule is working on the project with CleanSpark, Ford Motor Co., BigBattery and GRID Alternatives.

The California Energy Commission Grant proposal was for "Validating Capability of Second-life Batteries to Cost-Effectively Integrate Solar Power for Small-Medium Commercial Building Applications."

CleanSpark said it expects to receive around $470,000 from the funding for its microgrid design and mVSO software services and follow-on deployment of its mPulse software and controls. CleanSpark has also agreed to provide over $88,000 in matching funding.

ReJoule and CleanSpark will be further supported by Ford Motor Company, BigBattery, and GRID Alternatives.

GRID Alternatives was founded in 2001 with a simple idea: free, clean electricity from the sun should be available to everyone.

"My mom always told me, you know, you got two strikes on you: You're a black man and you're a male," said Kenneth Wells, owner of O&M Solar in Los Angeles, interviewed before the seminar [Addressing Systemic Racism Through Meaningful Workforce Investments].

Energy storage hardwire providers including Sonnen and Ampere Energy are expected to take part, along with energy and tech names like Enel X, Google as well as low-income community solar developer Grid Alternatives and a number of others.

Among the attractions was a "Solutions Showcase" with non-profits from organizations like Heal the Bay and Grid Alternatives.
