Our team of agents keeping 30,000 assets in rhythm
We connect more than 30,000 energy assets, and the hard part is knowing every one is still reporting numbers we can trust. Here's how a small team of AI agents keeps the whole fleet in rhythm, turning a flood of alerts into a short list of real problems.

A business case grounded in facts: backtesting with partners
Every energy project starts with an idea. Add a battery to your site, co-optimize it with your renewables. But an idea only gets funded once it's translated into numbers, so spreadsheets get built and business cases get modelled, and they seldom reflect the truth accurately.

It’s a way to preserve value, participate in multiple energy markets, and improve return on investment.To do this right, however, you need more than just a solar installation. You need a solar curtailment stack: a set of integrated capabilities that allow you to forecast, decide, and act — fast.In this blog, we break down the four essential layers of that stack.
