Data services

The EdgeTech backend has electricity prices (imbalance, day-ahead, multi-day forecast), weather forecasts, and a solar production forecast per installation from panel orientation and predicted cloud cover. They feed smart charging, the HEMS and the advice services, and are available to partners.

Rows marked “to be confirmed” and the sources’ redistribution terms are being verified.

What it is used for

  • Charging in the cheapest hours and around negative prices.
  • Solar-surplus charging that starts before the sun does, because the forecast says it will.
  • HEMS policies (“use the cheapest energy”) and the energy-advice services.
  • Available to partners through the platform’s API, and to agents through the MCP server, where the sources allow it.
