Empowering Sunrock’s ambition: Accelerating growth and climate goals with the Helin platform

Sunrock is known for offering energy strategies and solutions to companies, especially large logistics real estate firms, aiming to contribute meaningfully to the Paris climate goals. However, managing many large-scale PV solar rooftop installations simultaneously necessitates the handling of an enormous amount of real-time data. Every asset and every exchange of energy between larger grids and local microgrids must be tracked and predicted. This introduces the challenge of a broad spread of sensors or edge devices, and finding qualified technical staff to gather, protect, and analyse this edge data to unleash its full potential.

Sunrock required a solution for facilitating an arbitrage system between the grid, energy storage, and local consumption, complemented by detailed asset monitoring.

To ensure efficient operation and avoid energy loss, Sunrock required a solution for facilitating an arbitrage system between the grid, energy storage, and local consumption, complemented by detailed asset monitoring. Additionally, they needed secure, high-frequency data from all their sensors – spread across over 1 million square metres of solar roofs – and control over inverters and batteries. With this comprehensive solution, they can realise their ambitious climate objectives.

With the Helin Platform, Sunrock could unify their data sources, collect essential data from their assets, establish an app center (complete with a curtailment application), and encrypt the data and app for security.

Helin's Solutions

Helin's platform provided this solution. The platform was designed to manage edge devices on industrial assets, for example, solar assets, enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability, while unlocking the full potential of industrial assets. With our platform, Sunrock could unify their data sources, collect essential data from their assets, establish an app center (complete with a curtailment application), and encrypt the data and app for security. Moreover, this could be accomplished at high speed, without increasing the burden on internal staff.

The Helin Platform is proof that data can be leveraged to bring innovation forward in an effective way. It can be a catalyst, driving organisations towards achieving their objectives faster and more efficiently.
