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
The platform combines building-sector coordination with multiple battery operating modes and configurable priorities. Manufacturer-facing documentation also covers second-life storage integration, beyond a standalone monitoring product. [3]
Net savings and operational value
Self-consumption, demand reduction and coordinated charging are documented value mechanisms. Live indicators, historical analysis and multi-use operating modes support assessment of the configured site's performance. [2]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
Peak capping and charging management coordinate available capacity, with balancing-market interfaces also described. Actual grid services and emergency-power operation depend on the engineered installation. [3]
Interoperability across equipment brands
Published interfaces include Modbus, M-Bus, CAN and analogue or digital I/O. A compatibility library and optional third-party interfaces support integration, subject to equipment-specific requirements. [3]
Reliability and recovery
Documentation describes error logging, safe states, remote restart and protection against deep discharge. Local data storage during internet interruptions is also stated; these are vendor-described behaviours. [2] [3]
Cybersecurity and data governance
The platform describes permissions, alarm logs and an audit trail for remote maintenance. Published information reviewed does not establish independent security assurance or detailed hosting commitments. [2]
Installation, operation and user experience
Preconfigured hardware and function-block configuration aim to simplify installation. Browser and mobile tools expose real-time and historical data, with specialist or partner assistance available. [2]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Software and firmware updates, remote maintenance, CSV export and API access are documented. Guaranteed support duration and migration of control logic require separate contractual confirmation. [2]
