The App Store Model for Energy: How DG Matrix is Building a Platform, Not Just a Product

For decades, energy infrastructure has been built the same way: piecemeal, project by project, one bespoke system at a time. Every new datacenter, building electrification project, or EV charging station requires re-engineering, re-permitting, and rebuilding from the ground up. That approach isn’t just slow—it’s unsustainable in a world electrifying at unprecedented speed and incapable of meeting the energy demands of today and the future. At DG Matrix, we believe it’s time for a radically new model. Not just a better product. Not just faster deployment. But a fundamentally different way to build power infrastructure. That model? Think of it like the App Store.
From One-Off Projects to a Programmable Platform
hardware platform powered by software. It replaced dozens of standalone products (GPS, camera, music player, etc.) with a single, programmable unit. The App Store turned it into a launchpad for endless applications, unlocking value that Apple—or anyone—couldn’t have imagined at the start. We’re doing the same for power infrastructure. InterportTM is a multi-port solid-state transformer (SST) platform—a compact, intelligent hardware platform that replaces an entire stack of traditional infrastructure: transformers, switchboards, rectifiers, inverters, control boxes, and more. But its true power lies in the software layer.
With programmable control, on-device intelligence, and modular interfaces, the Interport SST platform can be configured like an operating system: Microgrid today From One-Off Projects to a Programmable Platform EV fleet depot tomorrow All on the same hardware. This isn’t just future-proofing—it’s future-building.
