# Sourceful Energy

> Local energy coordination infrastructure - the Grid Intelligence Layer that gives utilities and homeowners actual control over distributed energy, at speeds cloud APIs can't match.

## About

Sourceful builds local energy coordination infrastructure. We're a software company (not hardware), providing the platform that enables real-time energy control with fast local execution - something cloud APIs physically cannot achieve.

**What we are:**
- Local energy coordination infrastructure company
- Software company providing the Grid Intelligence Layer
- B2B infrastructure provider (utilities, OEMs, installers)
- Platform-only (partners sell hardware, we provide software)

**Core product: The Zap**
A gateway running our software that provides:
- Fast local execution (vs 2-5s for cloud APIs)
- Protocol-agnostic: P1, Modbus-TCP, Modbus-RTU, MQTT, OCPP
- Compatible with 180M EU smart meters
- Works offline - no internet dependency
- Local control, secure cloud connection
