On this episode of the Soliverse Podcast, Peter sits down with Martin Lips, Chief Commercial Officer at Fusebox, to explore one of the most overlooked—and powerful—levers in Europe’s energy transition: flexibility.
While everyone’s chasing more solar, more batteries, and more capacity, Fusebox is solving the real bottleneck—coordination. From demand response to on-site optimization and VPP control, Martin shares how smart software can turn Europe’s fragmented grid into a scalable, resilient, and revenue-generating ecosystem.
They discuss:
⚡ Why Europe’s problem isn’t capacity—it’s coordination
📉 How negative prices expose a fundamental market flaw
🐱 Why energy policy today feels like “herding cats” across 27 countries
🧠 How AI + automation enable real-time optimization and trading
📊 The true business case for hybrid site orchestration
🌍 What Europe can learn from the U.S. and Australia on flexibility
🏗️ Why EPCs, PV funds, and BRPs must rethink their software stack now
💰 How asset owners can take back control—and capture more revenue
