Better for your home
A battery that keeps the lights on when the power goes out and helps lower what you spend on electricity — with less worry and more control.
About Flip
Power that does more.
Flip installs and owns batteries in people’s homes, then connects them into one network. Homeowners get backup power for a simple monthly fee. Utilities get reliable capacity when the grid needs it most.
Affordable, reliable energy that benefits your home and your community.
Working with utilities, grid programs and manufacturers
What Flip does
We put batteries in homes, and put them to work for the grid.
We install a battery at your home
We design the system, buy the hardware and have a trusted local installer put it in. Flip owns the battery and looks after it.
You get backup power
When the power goes out, your home stays on. Instead of buying a battery outright, you pay a simple monthly fee.
Your battery helps the grid
When demand peaks, Flip uses part of your battery’s stored energy to help — always keeping a reserve for your home. Utilities pay for that help, which keeps your cost low.
For utilities, Flip is a power plant made of homes. We sign long-term contracts to deliver capacity, and take on the cost and risk of building and operating it.
Flip for utilities →Why we exist
Energy should be one less thing to worry about.
We all want the same basic things: a comfortable home, a secure future, a community we can count on. But rising bills, unreliable power and a complicated energy system can leave people feeling like there’s little they can do.
We believe there’s a better way — one where your home has more control over its energy, technology helps you save money and stay powered, and homes working together make the whole system stronger.
Our mission
Make affordable, reliable, clean power accessible to everyone.
What Flip does
Good energy starts at home. It doesn’t have to stop there.
Stronger together
When demand peaks, connected Flip batteries work as one to help keep the grid reliable. That’s how Flip earns from the grid — and how we keep costs down for you.
Invested in where you live
When a community helps us succeed, we want to help it succeed too. We’re sharing 10% of our profits with local initiatives.
What we’re good at
One accountable partner, from design to dispatch.
Flip designs, buys, installs through trusted partners and operates every battery — so homeowners get one company to call, and utilities get capacity they can count on.
Engineering
Standardized system designs, engineered in-house, so every install is predictable, safe and quick to permit.
Sourcing
We buy batteries in bulk, directly from the manufacturers we’ve selected — which keeps hardware costs down.
Installation
Trusted local installers build every system to our designs. Flip stays your point of contact for the life of the battery.
Grid operations
Our own platform connects each battery and coordinates the fleet during grid events — while protecting the backup your home needs.
For utilities
Flip for utilities →We sign long-term capacity contracts and carry the deployment and performance risk — you get a distributed power plant, delivered.

- Event performance with the Flip Gateway
- 97.5%
- Through a manufacturer’s cloud API
- 70–75%
The Flip Gateway is a small device installed in the home that talks to the battery’s inverter directly, instead of going through the manufacturer’s cloud.
