Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

We help you define, design, and deliver improvements across energy & automation and water & thermal systems—grounded in measurement, financial modelling, and vendor‑neutral comparisons.

How do I know my inverter and solar system are working properly?

We implement sub‑metering and dashboards to track PV generation, storage behaviour, power quality, and consumption. You’ll get clear alerts, performance baselines, and monthly reports so issues are diagnosed, not guessed.

Which technologies do you cover?

We are technology‑agnostic and compare solutions that fit your context: PV, inverters, batteries, BMS/SCADA, variable speed drives, HVAC/chillers, heat pumps, boilers/steam, heat recovery, water metering and efficiency, and more.

How can I contact your team?
