Join our ASP Ecosystem!

Polaris enables automation service providers (ASP’s) to 
1) add energy cost management capabilities and 
2) integrate their products into utility and wholesale power market grid service programs.

Integration into the Polaris platform gives ASP’s a new way to retain customers and achieve hardware sales goals, and grow a reliable stream of recurring revenue. Benefits include:
1. Drive hardware sales and grid services revenue

Benefit from utility device subsidies that reduce consumer costs and drive hardware sales. A single contract with Polaris gives partners access to new utility and wholesale market grid service programs.

2. Improve user adoption and stickiness of your platform

Customer energy savings and grid‑services income create a powerful “halo effect,” making your platform harder to replace.

3. Polaris is your grid services sales team

Polaris’s teams consistently develop new opportunities for ASP ecosystem partners to earn recurring revenue from program participation. We completely manage utility programs on your behalf.

4. Benefit from trusted partner advocacy

Polaris advocates on behalf of ASP partners to help ensure that utility grid service programs drive customer enrollment and increase customer satisfaction.
