How does Volton maximise revenue?

Risk management

Your asset is added to an aggregated portfolio, allowing market access for assets even below 1 MW, minimising imbalance risk and stabilising revenue.

Extra revenue

Taking full advantage of the flexibility markets with Volton's expertise creates compounding extra revenue streams that unlock the full potential of your flexible energy assets.

Individual approach

We keep records of each metering point and distribute revenue proportionally to the energy delivered. We tailor offers to specific asset parameters to maximize revenue while aligning with your personal risk profile.

Automatic optimisation

Our system intelligently manages resources according to asset class — the algorithm automatically determines optimal trades and activations across all wholesale, flexibility and imbalance markets.

How does Volton communicate with assets?

No extra controllers

Our operations do not require any extra additions to your site. We communicate everything through the on-site router's static IP address using an IPSec VPN tunnel. We only need your loggers' IPs, and your inverters' and meters' IDs.

Manufacturer agnostic

Our systems allow for operations with all prominent inverter brands, including Goodwe, Sungrow, Deye and Huawei. We plan to add all major manufacturers and adapt based on partner needs.

Communication protocol

IEC or Modbus TCP protocol for communicating orders to assets.
