As Lunar Energy\u2019s VP of Operations, Rohan oversees the process of bringing the innovative Lunar System from design to full-scale production. The Lunar System is a solar energy and battery backup system designed to mitigate electricity interruptions caused by power outages, extreme weather, or downed power lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rohan says Lunar Energy\u2019s mission is to \u201ctake the home energy ecosystem into the next generation by moving away from fossil fuel-powered electricity and heating, making it the all-electric home of the future.\u201d Lunar\u2019s hardware and software ecosystem enables homeowners to generate, store, and consume energy in smarter, cleaner ways\u2014without relying on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cTake the home energy ecosystem into the next generation by moving away from fossil fuel-powered electricity and heating, making it the all-electric home of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Mark Rohan, Lunar Energy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lunar System\u2019s core functionality lies in coupling a home battery with solar panels to optimize energy usage. \u201cOur system produces electricity during the day when the sun is out, stores that electricity in the battery, and distributes it when most customers need it\u2014usually after 5:00 PM,\u201d Rohan explains. \u201cThis means you can keep the solar power you make long after the sun has set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other innovative companies before them, Lunar relied on Fictiv to source, manufacture, and support their innovations with design for manufacturability (DFM) expertise, prototyping, and eventually full-scale production.
