Toronto, ON – August 26, 2025 – Sponge Microgrids Inc., a Canadian cleantech company specializing in predictive microgrid optimization, today announced a new partnership with Frankensolar Americas Inc., one of Canada’s largest solar distributors. The agreement makes Sponge’s flagship product, the Sponge EMC (Energy Management Controller), available to solar installers nationwide through the Frankensolar webstore.
The Sponge EMC is a forecast-driven energy controller designed to maximize the return on investment of commercial solar and storage projects. Unlike static controls, the EMC updates its storage dispatch strategy every 10 minutes based on real-time load, solar production, and market signals—helping installers deliver better economics and project outcomes for their customers.
“Accessibility is everything for the installer community,” said Jeremy Lytle, Founder & CEO of Sponge Microgrids. “By working with Frankensolar, we’re making it easier for solar professionals across Canada to source Sponge EMC and unlock higher project value. This partnership accelerates our mission of helping businesses reduce costs and maximize the impact of clean energy.”
As Canada’s most trusted solar distributor, Frankensolar provides nationwide logistics, technical expertise, and trusted supply partnerships to commercial and residential installers. The addition of Sponge EMC to its product portfolio demonstrates Frankensolar’s commitment to delivering next-generation solutions that improve system performance and installer profitability.
Sponge EMC is a perfect fit for the Canadian market—it solves real challenges around battery optimization, payback timelines, and project economics. Frankensolar is excited to make it available to their customers starting today.
