DIY Solar, Backup Power, and the New Home Energy Stack with Pila's Cole Ashman 25:04

25:04

In this episode, Mike talks with Cole Ashman, founder and CEO of Pila Energy, about how his company is rethinking home energy with a distributed, plug-and-play battery system. Instead of a single powerwall in the garage, Pila’s mesh battery network allows users to place smaller batteries throughout the home, appliance by appliance, to back up critical devices like refrigerators and sump pumps. Cole shares how his experience with Tesla and Span shaped the vision for Pila, explains why whole-home battery backups are out of reach for most people, and explores how Pila is making backup power more affordable and flexible. They also dive into how upcoming policy changes—like Utah’s new legislation supporting plug-in solar and storage—could open up a new era of DIY, portable energy for renters and homeowners alike.
