Checkwatt
CheckWatt combines energy-resource control with its Currently virtual power plant and EnergyInBalance customer portal. Its services connect batteries and other flexible resources to local optimisation and electricity-system markets. The published material describes installation through partners, a CM10 communications device and eligibility that varies with equipment, market and electricity-supply arrangements. [1]
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
Currently combines forecasting, battery control and aggregation into electricity-market services. CM10 site connectivity and EnergyInBalance monitoring support participating owners across local and market-facing applications. [1] [4]
Net savings and operational value
CheckWatt combines self-consumption and price optimisation with market revenue opportunities. Its FAQ explains that peak-shaving savings depend strongly on tariffs and successful management of individual peaks. [2]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
Published services include frequency support and local flexibility. Market and device qualification matter; a service listed for one installation should not be assumed available for every battery. [4] [3]
Interoperability across equipment brands
A published CM10 compatibility table identifies inverter models and supported services. This is useful implementation evidence, but the table's geographic scope and current version require checking. [3]
Reliability and recovery
The FAQ describes automatic software restarts, updates and power adjustments when system status changes. It also directs unresolved operating problems to the responsible installation partner. [2]
Cybersecurity and data governance
Published information reviewed does not specify the EMS's encryption implementation, data-residency commitments, penetration-testing scope or security-update service level. These require separate technical and contractual evidence. [1]
Installation, operation and user experience
Installation partners connect the CM10, while EnergyInBalance shows system status and earnings. Users can identify activation problems through dashboard status indicators and contact their partner. [1] [2]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Support responsibility includes the operating partner, with automated software updates described. Published information reviewed does not specify migration procedures, control-setting portability or guaranteed service lifetime. [2]
