While the rapid growth in rooftop solar brought clear environmental and economic benefits, it also revealed cracks in the nation’s electric distribution networks. Grid operators faced reliability challenges due to limited visibility and reactive planning. Edge Zero’s new program draws on these lessons. Unlike legacy monitoring systems, Edge Zero’s platform is purpose-built to handle the dynamic behaviour of batteries—capturing bi-directional flows, sudden voltage changes and localised overload risks in real time.
"Our energy networks weren’t designed for this level of distributed generation," said Richard McIndoe, Chairman and CEO of Edge Zero. "To support a scaled home battery rollout, we need smart, flexible systems at the edge of the grid. Our Grid Visibility offering ensures networks can keep pace with consumer demand and government ambition—safely and efficiently."
Edge Zero’s solution leverages its proprietary EdgeSensors, already deployed across thousands of network sites in the National Electricity Market, and its EdgeConnected™ platform, showing live power flows across the network. Together, the solution gives Australian network operators the tools to stay ahead of rapid change—transforming reactive grid management into proactive, data-driven operations. By equipping field assets with real-time monitoring and alerts, the program helps prevent outages, extend asset life and enable smarter investment in grid infrastructure. Designed for fast deployment, it enables Australian networks to move quickly, cost-effectively and confidently into the battery era.
