In this week’s episode, we speak with Pete Armstrong, Founder, CEO and CTO of Mixergy, about the company’s origins as a University of Oxford spin-out and its evolution into a manufacturer of intelligent hot water tanks used across residential and commercial buildings.

We discuss:

• How intelligent hot water tanks work, and how treating hot water like a flexible energy asset matters for both consumers and the energy system.
• The realities of taking a hardware product from university research through manufacturing, route-to-market decisions, and scaling.

• The role hot water tanks can play in demand side flexibility.

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

• Staying focused on use cases, installability and routes to market is just as important as the technology itself.
