We look forward to his insights and perspective as we continue to develop solutions, and lead this transformation into the future.”
“I have worked for decades promoting the value and potential of distributed energy systems,” said Dr. Peter Lilienthal, Founder and former CEO of HOMER Energy. “It is great to work with Xendee as they have the right vision and are committed to helping all of the players within the distributed energy and microgrid industry.”
