JuiceBox Energy, a privately-held Silicon Valley company committed to providing safe, reliable, intelligent, and connected energy storage, announced a nationwide agreement with Sprint to provide real-time monitoring and control of JuiceBox Energy Storage Systems using the Sprint network and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Command Center.

"With the increasing deployment of our advanced energy storage systems connected to new and existing residential solar installations, the Sprint agreement gives JuiceBox Energy, our installers, and utility customers a powerful tool for performance monitoring, remote firmware updates and keeping up with changing electricity tariff structures and regulations," said Neil Maguire, CEO of JuiceBox Energy Inc. "Each JuiceBox Energy System is intelligent, responsive and connected to enable a smart grid powered by clean renewable energy."

"With the rising demand for clean energy solutions and IoT communications, Sprints M2M solutions give utility providers and their customers a powerful tool for automating services, balancing the grid, and promoting sustainability," said Scott Kalinoski, vice president-Wholesale Solutions at Sprint. "We are excited to collaborate with and enable JuiceBox Energy Systems to interface directly with Sprints network, create management portals to better serve their customers and manage the JuiceBox Energy system. This announcement underscores our commitment to driving smart grid communications and supporting the deployment of clean energy solutions."

The JuiceBox Energy Storage System is an automotive-grade, 8.6kWh lithium-ion battery pack with proprietary charge control and energy management system coupled to a 5.5kW Schneider XW+ inverter. The system is deployed in California, Hawaii, New York, and a growing number of states.
