encombi
ENcombi develops controllers and supporting software for decentralised solar installations, hybrid plants and microgrids. Its portfolio combines local configuration with cloud monitoring, remote service access and an API. Applications include solar-generator coordination and grid-connected battery control, with tools for project assessment, data logging and the management of active and reactive power. [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
ENcombi combines controller functions with site assessment, cloud analytics and remote service tools. Its published applications cover solar-generator hybrids, grid-connected storage and microgrids within a shared toolkit. [1]
Net savings and operational value
Published mechanisms include solar prioritisation, battery arbitrage and hybrid fuel savings. The vendor explicitly links financial results to load profiles and design, so net benefit needs site modelling. [2]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
Grid-connected battery control includes export limits, active and reactive power and frequency or voltage response modes. Ancillary services are described, subject to configuration and local qualification. [2]
Interoperability across equipment brands
The EMS connects meters, inverters, generator controllers, batteries and sensors. ECapi offers REST access to cloud data; model-level compatibility must be checked for the proposed plant. [1]
Reliability and recovery
For solar self-consumption, ENcombi documents a relay trip if PV control is lost. That is a specific protection mechanism, not evidence of universal system redundancy. [2]
Cybersecurity and data governance
EClink uses VPN-based remote access without requiring a public IP. Published information reviewed does not specify independent security certification, hosting residency or the complete access-control model. [1]
Installation, operation and user experience
ECweb runs in a local browser, while ECcloud provides live and historical dashboards. Configuration and remote service tools reduce the need for separate workstation software. [1]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Data can be logged locally or exported, and support is available directly or through trained dealers. Guaranteed update duration and configuration migration are not specified. [2]
