    Active management for commercial solar in WA

    Most commercial solar systems are installed, set to a default mode, and left to run for the next 20 years. We're the platform that operates them, every interval, against the tariff structure underneath and the WA market above.

    The Quiet Problem

    A solar system isn't a managed asset.

    A typical commercial solar install ends the day the system is commissioned. The inverter is configured to a default mode. The monitoring portal sends a weekly yield email. That's the operational model for almost every commercial solar system in WA.

    The decisions about how the system should behave change every interval. Tariff windows move. Load profiles change. The market underneath the meter sends different signals at different times. The default mode the system was set to on day one has been wrong for years.

    What Active Management Does

    Four decisions we make on every solar site.

    Generation Decisions

    Run flat out, or don't.

    There are moments when running solar at full output is the right call. There are others when it isn't. Active management makes that call every interval against the live position of the site.

    Self-Consumption Coordination

    Generation meets load, intelligently.

    When solar is generating and the site is consuming, the question is what to send where. The platform makes the call against the tariff window, the demand position, and any battery on site.

    Performance Accountability

    The asset actually doing what it cost.

    A commercial solar system is a six- or seven-figure capex line. We track actual performance against the original business case and flag underperformance against expected yield, not just against last week.

    Battery Coordination

    Solar that knows the battery is there.

    For sites with both solar and storage, the two decisions aren't independent. The platform coordinates them as one position, not two separate controllers.

    Accountability

    The system you bought vs the system you got.

    Most commercial solar systems underperform the assumptions in their original business case. The reasons range from straightforward (panel degradation, inverter faults, soiling) to structural (poor sizing, wrong tariff fit, missed shading). Without active management, none of these are flagged until annual review or never.

    We compare actual against expected every month. Where there's a gap, we tell you why and what's fixable.

    How It Works

    From solar review to live operation.

    01 · Solar Review

    We model the gap.

    We look at your last 12 months of generation, your tariff structure, the consumption profile underneath the system, and the original business case. The output is a quantified difference between current performance and active management. The review is free.

    02 · Integrate

    We connect to what's there.

    We integrate with the existing inverter, monitoring system, and metering. We don't replace your installer, your inverter, or your warranty.

    03 · Operate

    We run the asset every interval.

    Generation decisions, self-consumption coordination, performance tracking, battery coordination where one exists. You get a monthly view of what the system did, what it should have done, and the difference.

    Common Questions

    What operators ask about solar.

    No. We're hardware-agnostic. We integrate with the major commercial inverter brands used in the WA market.

    Most commercial solar systems have monitoring. Monitoring is not management. Monitoring tells you what happened. Management changes what happens. The two coexist.

    No. We operate within the inverter's published control envelope. We don't push the asset outside what the manufacturer permits.

    We'll tell you. Sometimes the right answer is a structural change to the system, not just better management. Sometimes the right answer is more solar or a battery. The site review identifies which.

    The platform treats solar and battery as one coordinated position. The decisions across the two assets are made together, not separately.

    Regulatory requirements around distributed PV management are tightening in WA. The platform is designed to operate inside those requirements as they evolve. Read more in the WA Energy Market hub.
