For instance, the LG ThinQ Energy mobile app unlocks value by enabling customers to view and control their home’s solar generation, battery storage and load control.”

This sounds like where Sonnen and their ecolinx was about six years ago. Expensive, yes, very flexible and seemingly programmable to use things like weather forecasts to control how much solar PV is saved in the battery pack and how much is used for loads in the home. Programming around TOU electricity rate periods and even being able to connect to and control smart home appliances from refrigerators to auto blinds for indoor temperature control.
