How is Molecule different from a DERMS platform?

Molecule Systems provides execution infrastructure (the how), while DERMS platforms provide optimization intelligence (the what). DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems) forecast load, optimize dispatch schedules, bid into markets, and coordinate fleets at the portfolio level. They're the brain. Molecule's AERA architecture is the nervous system-it executes those commands reliably, in real time, at the site level. AERA is designed to work with any DERMS: utility-owned systems like Autogrid or Stem, third-party aggregator platforms, or custom optimization algorithms. We don't replace DERMS-we make DERMS work better by ensuring their dispatch signals are executed deterministically, with sub-second telemetry verification and autonomous edge-based control. Think of it this way: DERMS tells the VPP what to do. Molecule ensures it actually does it. Explore AERA's fleet coordination capabilities and see how Molecule complements DERMS platforms.
