Abstract
A non-grid energy marketplace system is provided for at least one unit, e.g., a dwelling, building, or other structure that shelters an entity such as a person, family, or business that consumes energy. The system comprises at least one gateway coupled to a plurality of sensors configured to collect time-series energy data for each unit at a site that has at least one non-grid energy system. The time-series energy data can include unit-level non-grid energy consumption data and, if available, unit-level grid energy consumption data. An energy information processor is configured to communicate with at least one gateway via a remote network to receive and process the time-series energy data to determine time-based non-grid energy consumption for each unit. The system can be configured to perform a non-grid energy marketplace method that carries out the above processes and functions.
