Problem
Energy system planning for commercial and industrial applications is often time-consuming, relying on manual spreadsheet calculations that fail to capture the complex interactions between electricity and heat technologies. Decision-makers struggle to quickly assess the economic viability of options like photovoltaics, battery storage, electric boilers, and heat pumps, especially when considering dynamic tariffs, grid connection limits, and flexibility marketing opportunities.
Solution
Calvergy offers a software platform that automatically determines which energy technologies are worthwhile, evaluates sensible alternatives, and calculates the economic performance of investments. Users can analyze payback periods, ROI, and net present value, as well as the benefits of flexible operating strategies, all within a single integrated tool. The platform covers a comprehensive technology library including photovoltaics, battery storage, electric boilers, heat pumps, thermal storage, gas boilers, and combined heat and power units. It enables holistic planning of electricity and heat, helping users understand technology interactions and optimize systems under varying price and operational conditions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are planners, project developers, and energy managers in commercial, industrial, and non-residential building sectors who need to evaluate and optimize investments in renewable energy and electrification technologies.
