The entries below document published information against the eight assessment criteria. They distinguish stated capabilities from evidence needed for verification. No scores have been assigned.
Demonstrated innovation
BBOLT describes forecasts for individual assets combined with execution on a local gateway. Weather, consumption and market information inform decisions for each connected energy system. [2]
Net savings and operational value
The proposed value combines energy optimisation, trading and peak reduction. A profit-sharing model is described; net returns require project-specific fees, battery costs and market assumptions. [2]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
BoltEMS describes balancing demand and storage when connection peaks threaten. This supports a congestion-management use case, with actual connection capacity and compliance requiring site assessment. [2]
Interoperability across equipment brands
The vendor describes brand-independent connections through protocols and APIs for batteries, inverters, PV and chargers. Exact equipment and firmware compatibility should be confirmed before selection. [2]
Reliability and recovery
BBOLT states that local control continues without cloud access and describes 4G/Wi-Fi fallback. The reviewed material does not provide independent outage-test results or recovery-time guarantees. [2]
Cybersecurity and data governance
BBOLT describes its approach as following ISO 27001 and NIS2 requirements. The reviewed wording does not establish a verified certification or audited security scope. [1]
Installation, operation and user experience
The offering includes real-time monitoring and separate gateway options for different installation types. Published information reviewed does not specify commissioning effort for a representative mixed-device site. [1]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
BBOLT describes open integration and support for expanding installations. Published information reviewed does not specify contractual support duration, data-export rights or migration arrangements when service ends. [1]
