Resources
The information below was produced independently by ProspectSV and our research partner Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, with the help of technology partners and technical advisors from the Engineering, Architecture, and Real Estate Development industries. The resources were created based on our ongoing demonstration of a power management system at multi-family housing developments in Northern California. Stay tuned. Resources will be updated as the project progresses. Email us at resources@prospectsv.org with any questions relating to these resources.

Power Management Systems for Multi-Family Housing
Resources based on a demonstration of a power management system (modular, plug-in batteries, smart panel, and controller software) at three multifamily housing developments across California. Below are the initial resources from the demonstration. This page will be updated in the future with more resources.
