Lunar Energy growth playbook

Diagnosis

Lunar Energy raised $232 million in 2026 to expand its home battery across the US and scale Gridshare, which already runs the largest US residential VPP programs. It is hiring a UK-based Digital Marketing Specialist to own the website, its search and AI search presence, email and social, alongside a large engineering and test team.

The site has gaps that role can fix fast: the availability FAQ still says California only while Texas has launched with Octopus Energy and the Texas post has no sign-up, case-study results are hidden behind scripts, the Japanese page shows old numbers, and there is no UK or European page despite Lunar's UK roots.

This playbook fixes those first, then builds email series, personal savings, an installer finder, VPP and comparison content, and ends with new retailer bundles and a yearly VPP report.

Growth Score

6/10

Biggest Opportunity

Make the website say what Lunar now is: available in Texas through Octopus, proven in Europe and Japan, and the operator of the largest US residential VPPs.

Biggest Risk

Tesla, FranklinWH and Enphase compete for homeowners, Base Power for Texas bundles, and Kraken and EnergyHub for utility software; out-of-date pages let rivals define Lunar in search and AI answers.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Lunar's own Learn article still says the system "is available throughout California", while the Design your System page says installers work in California and Texas, and the April blog post launched a Texas plan with Octopus Energy. That post has no sign-up link, and the site has no Texas page. Anyone who asks Google or an AI assistant "Can I get a Lunar battery in Texas?" is likely to be told no by Lunar's own FAQ. The new Digital Marketing Specialist is hired to keep site content "accurate, current" and to improve how Lunar shows up "in both traditional and AI-powered search": this is the first page to fix.

    Update the article and add the Octopus link to the blog post this week.

    Why it works

    Rewrite the availability article with every current route: certified installers in California, installers and the Octopus Energy plan in Texas, and a "notify me" form for everyone else that records the ZIP code. Build a Texas page: what the plan includes, no upfront hardware cost, fixed rate, backup, the Lunar App, and a clear button to the Octopus sign-up. Link it from the blog post, the homepage and Design your System, and add FAQ structured data so search and assistants quote the new answer.

    Texas is where Base Power already sells fixed rates with battery backup. A Texas page with one clear next step catches demand the partnership is already creating, and the "notify me" list shows where to launch next.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Octopus controls the sign-up

      Agree tracking and a shared monthly report.

    • Availability changes again

      Keep one list of markets that every page pulls from.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteThe Learn article "When will the Lunar System be available in my area?" says "Lunar is available throughout California through our network of Lunar Certified Installers" and asks installers to write to an address at a different domain (lunar.energy). The Design your System page says "Lunar Certified Installers are currently installing systems on homes in California and Texas" and shows a 20 kWh system with "$500 estimated savings in the first year".Source
    • Your websiteBlog, "Texas expansion: our new partnership with Octopus Energy" (April 22, 2026): customers "enroll in a fixed-rate electricity plan that includes a Lunar Battery" with "No upfront hardware cost"; "This is the first. It won't be the last." The post has no link to Octopus or any sign-up, and the 124-URL sitemap has no Texas page.Source
    • HiringDigital Marketing Specialist, 12-month contract (UK, posted October 20, 2026): "You will own the Lunar website"; "Maintain and update website content, ensuring information remains accurate, current, engaging"; "help improve how we show up in both traditional and AI-powered search"; email campaigns with "segmentation" (HubSpot named); LinkedIn and Instagram; "Support the agency that manages our paid social advertising"; write "web copy, email, case studies, brochures"; help run events; the site is on Webflow and "our core marketing team is based in California".Source

  • 02

    The seven enterprise case studies show their results ("Up to 46% reduction in charging costs" for Honda) through a script that swaps "{{key-achievements}}" and "{{testimonial-1}}" placeholders after the page loads. Visitors see the finished page, but readers that do not run scripts, including many AI crawlers, see the placeholders. The $232 million post has the same issue with a "[[callout]]" marker.

    Fix one page this week.

    Why it works

    Move the results and quotes into the Webflow rich text directly (or render them server-side with a CMS field), then check each page with JavaScript off.

    The results are the most quotable lines on the site, and the role is asked to improve AI-powered search. They should be readable by everything that indexes the page.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Design changes

      Keep the same styling on the new fields.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteIn the page HTML of the seven enterprise case studies, the results and quotes are placeholders ("{{key-achievements}}", "{{testimonial-1}}") that a script fills in after the page loads, from a hidden block further down; the $232 million post has a "[[callout]]" marker around the CEO quote. Readers that do not run scripts see the placeholders.Source

    The homepage has no social share image, so links posted on LinkedIn, Instagram or in messages show no picture, and the Get installed page uses a generic company description. The role manages LinkedIn and Instagram and supports the paid social agency, so every shared link matters.

    Add the homepage share image today.

    Why it works

    Add a share image to the homepage and the top 20 pages, and rewrite descriptions for Get installed, Design your System, the VPP page and Lunar Enterprise around what each page offers.

    Links with an image and a specific description get more clicks, in social feeds and in search.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Images out of date

      Review them each quarter.

    Evidence

    • Google PageSpeedMobile performance 61/100 (desktop 97). In the lab the headline "Endless clean energy" appears after 7.8 s, mostly from render-blocking requests (about 3.9 s); the homepage downloads 11.5 MB and has no social share image.

  • 04

    Real visitors pass Core Web Vitals, so this is a tune-up, not a fire. But in Google's phone test the headline takes 7.8 seconds to appear, mostly from render-blocking files, and the page downloads 11.5 MB. Homeowners often first see Lunar on a phone, from social ads.

    Defer one heavy script and retest.

    Why it works

    Defer non-essential scripts (tag manager extras, HubSpot, chat), inline the critical CSS for the first screen, compress the hero media, and retest. Do the same on Design your System, where ad traffic lands.

    A faster first screen keeps more paid social visitors, which lowers the cost of each lead.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Publish a short UK page with the Honda results.

    Why it works

    Build a UK and Europe page for Gridshare: European results (Honda, EDP), the UK heritage, supported devices and tariffs, flexibility markets served, and a contact form routed to the European team. Add en-GB copy where it matters, and hreflang if more versions follow.

    European retailers and car makers searching for a residential flexibility platform find a page made for them, and the UK marketer has a market to grow.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Unclear European focus

    Send one email to last month's leads.

    Why it works

    Build a five-email series per segment (with or without solar, utility, bill band): their estimated savings, backup hours, VPP programs for their area, one customer story from a similar home, and a booking link to the installer. Stop the series when the installer books a visit.

    Homeowners take weeks to decide; a relevant series keeps Lunar in the decision while the installer follows up.

    Base Power sells fixed rates and whole-home backup across Texas. Lunar and Octopus now offer a fixed-rate plan with a battery and no upfront cost, but there is no page that explains the difference.

    Publish the comparison table.

    Why it works

    Agree a joint campaign with Octopus: a comparison of what each plan includes (battery size, backup, app, VPP earnings, contract terms), Texas customer stories as they come in, and shared paid social to Texas homeowners.

    Texas buyers are comparing bundles, not batteries. Making the bundle easy to compare wins the decision.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Competitor claims

Big bets 3

Larger plays that can change the trajectory.

  • 17

    The Texas post says the Octopus model "is one we will see in other regions", and the funding is for expansion "across the country". Bundled plans remove the upfront cost, which is the biggest barrier to buying a battery.

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value lower bills and VPP earnings. The most cited problem: high peak electricity prices.

  • Seamless backup during outages
  • Outages
  • In their words: “endless clean energy”

Market

Competitive landscape

5 competitors compared: Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH, Enphase, Base Power and 1 more.

  • Gap to exploit: Hardware and VPP software from one company
  • Tesla Powerwall: Buyers compare it on app and VPP options, where Lunar has published results
  • FranklinWH: Smaller VPP software footprint
