Program Manager

Overview

Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses—including smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and people’s behavior—to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels.
