A product development proposal for IREO — the Intelligent Residential Energy Orchestrator. An AI-powered energy hub that controls the flow between grid, solar, battery, and home to minimize cost and maximize self-consumption.
● The Product
IREO isn't just another smart energy device — it's a fully autonomous AI energy orchestrator built from the ground up.
Every optimization strategy, learning model, and forecasting engine runs remotely. The physical device simply executes commands with millisecond precision. All high-value IP stays in the cloud.
LiFePO4, NMC, and future chemistry support. State of charge prediction, price-triggered charge/discharge cycles, and battery health optimization for maximum lifespan.
MPPT solar optimization and curtailment control. Achieve 94.7% self-consumption rates — meaning almost every watt your panels generate stays in your home.
Based on average residential time-of-use rate spreads. A typical 20 kWh battery system cycling daily at $0.30/kWh spread generates massive annual savings.
Every installation gets its own digital twin — thermal, aging, and tariff models that continuously learn and adapt to each home's unique characteristics.
Cryptographically secured actuator with hardware roots of trust, encrypted model delivery, remote attestation, and signed firmware only — no local tampering possible.
● Development Roadmap
The complete IREO platform — hardware, software, and cloud intelligence working in harmony.
The brain of IREO. Forecasting models for weather, tariff, and demand patterns. Strategy generation and decision policies that optimize energy flow every 1–5 minutes. Fleet learning across all installations improves every unit over time.
The physical device integrates with existing solar, battery, and panel via Modbus, SunSpec, CAN bus, Matter, and Wi-Fi. Bidirectional inverter control, grid-tie management, and millisecond-precision power switching — all executed locally.
A beautiful web and mobile dashboard showing live energy flows, savings tracking, battery state, solar production, grid import/export, and historical analytics. Five operating modes the homeowner can switch between — or let the AI decide.
Signed command streaming, encrypted telemetry, hardware secure elements, device certificates, and staged firmware rollout control. Zero-trust architecture from device to cloud.
Three product tiers (Core, Pro, Enterprise) with feature activation and performance-tier gating. OTA firmware updates for life. No monthly subscriptions — one purchase, lifetime AI optimization.
Enterprise tier enables Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid bidirectional EV charging, microgrid operation mode, peer-to-peer energy trading, and virtual power plant aggregation for utility-scale participation.
● Development Process
A phased approach from prototype to market-ready product.
Hardware design, firmware, core AI engine, and initial dashboard.
Install in 5–10 test homes. Gather real-world data and refine models.
CSA, UL certification. Utility interconnection approvals across provinces.
Manufacturing, installer network, and go-to-market across Canada.
● Why IREO Wins
What sets IREO apart from every other energy management device on the market.
All intelligence runs in the cloud — not on-device. This means continuous improvement, fleet learning, and zero hardware refresh cycles.
Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Alberta. Data stays in Canada. Built for Canadian energy markets and tariff structures.
One purchase, lifetime AI optimization. No monthly fees. IREO Pro pays for itself in under 18 months — then it's pure savings.
Modbus, SunSpec, CAN bus, Matter, Wi-Fi — IREO connects to any solar, battery, or EV charger already on the market.
Industry-leading solar self-consumption rate. Nearly every watt your panels produce stays in your home or earns export credits.
If cloud connectivity drops, IREO switches to local fallback mode automatically. Your home keeps running — always.
IREO is the future of residential energy management — and it's being built right here in Alberta.
