Renewable Operations We Build Software For
Solar (Utility & Distributed)
Wind (Onshore & Offshore)
Energy Storage & Hybrid
Distributed Energy & VPP
Mixed Renewable Portfolios
Solar (Utility & Distributed)
You get a single, accurate customer record across every touchpoint. Relevant integrates platforms like Oracle CC&B, SAP IS-U, and modern CRMs with billing and service.
Wind (Onshore & Offshore)
Wind assets are variable, remote, and expensive to service, so the software has to anticipate problems. We build turbine performance, predictive maintenance, and production tools that turn SCADA and sensor data into early warnings and fewer unplanned truck rolls.
Energy Storage & Hybrid
Relevant develops dispatch, optimization, and state-of-charge software for standalone storage and solar-plus-storage, built around price signals, demand, and degradation limits.
Distributed Energy & VPP
Running many small assets as a single coordinated resource requires software that can aggregate and dispatch in real time. We build DERMS and virtual power plant platforms that pool your distributed capacity and turn it into grid services you can monetize.
Mixed Renewable Portfolios
When you run solar, wind, and storage across multiple sites and markets, fragmented tools can’t keep up with you. You get unified software that brings all asset classes into a single operational view, so your team manages the entire portfolio from a single source of truth.
How We Build Your Renewable Energy Software Solution
Operations Mapped
You have a clear picture of what to build and why before we write a single line of code. We work through your assets, your operations, and the data you already generate, then hand you a defined scope and a feature set prioritized by where custom software returns the most value.
Architecture & Roadmap Defined
You get a technical architecture and a phased delivery roadmap built around your stack. It covers data models, the SCADA and sensor feeds your software will rely on, cloud infrastructure, and the build sequence that gets you to working software as quickly as possible.
Core Functionality Proven
We build and prove the highest-value functionality first, running against your real generation and asset data. From there, the rest of the build moves forward on evidence that the approach holds.
Software Delivered, Sprint by Sprint
You see working software landing every two weeks, feature by feature. Each release ships with testing, monitoring, and documentation already in place, so your team reviews real, running software every sprint.
Validated Against Real Data
Your software runs against live generation and asset data to prove it holds up to drive decisions. We validate outputs, catch edge cases, and confirm accuracy under real conditions.
Long-Term Support
The same engineers who built your software stay on after launch. They monitor live performance, resolve edge cases, and keep iterating as your portfolio grows, with SLAs aligned to the mission-criticality of each part of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Renewable Energy Software Development
What data and systems do we need in place before you can start?
The starting point is your real-time data: SCADA telemetry, historian archives (PI, Canary, Ignition, or vendor-specific stores), sensor and inverter feeds, and turbine OEM data, where applicable. On top of that, we work with your asset register, CMMS records, weather data sources, market data feeds for any commercial workflows, and the contents of whichever ERP or back-office system carries your generation and revenue records. Reliable enough matters more than complete.
We don’t expect a clean data warehouse on day one. Tag-naming inconsistencies, gaps in historian coverage, missing metadata, and unit mismatches are normal findings, and addressing them is part of the build. In the first phase, we run a data audit: sample pulls from each source, gap analysis, schema review, and identification of any data quality work that needs to land before specific features can run reliably. If you’re missing something material, a usable asset register, reliable weather inputs, or market price feeds, we flag it during discovery and fold the work into the roadmap to get it in place.
Can you integrate with our existing SCADA, EMS, historian, and sensor infrastructure?
Yes, we can. We’ve integrated with the systems most renewable operators run, and treat your OT infrastructure as the source of truth, building the analytics, control, and workflow layer above it.
For protocols, we support OPC UA, Modbus, IEC 61850, DNP3, and MQTT, plus REST and vendor APIs where available. On historians, we ingest from OSIsoft/AVEVA PI, Canary, Ignition, Wonderware, and similar systems through their native connectors or read APIs. SCADA platforms from GE, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and ABB, alongside the major wind OEMs, are routinely part of the picture, and we connect to EMS systems where dispatch or grid services are in scope.
We don’t touch real-time control loops without explicit scope agreement, and we keep OT and IT cleanly separated in the architecture.
How long until we see working software in production?
Working software lands every two weeks from the start, but “in production driving real decisions” is a different milestone.
A typical timeline looks like this:
Discovery and operations mapping runs for 2-3 weeks.
Architecture and roadmap take another 1-2.
The first proof-of-value feature, the piece that demonstrates the approach holds against your real data, is normally live within 6-8 weeks.
The first production-ready capability your team operates from typically lands inside 3-4 months.
A full platform covering multiple asset classes, sites, and workflows is generally a six-to-twelve-month build, delivered in sprints.
How do you handle security and compliance for grid-connected systems?
Security is designed at the architecture stage and aligned with ISO 27001 and GDPR by default. For grid-connected and market-participating systems, we extend that baseline to whatever else applies in your jurisdiction.
On network and infrastructure, OT and IT are kept separate; environments are isolated in segmented VPCs; secrets are stored in managed vaults; and access follows least-privilege principles with full audit logging.
On the application side, we run static and dynamic analysis, dependency and container scanning, and a secure SDLC with peer review on every change. On data, everything is encrypted, with role-based access enforced at both the application and database layers.
What happens after launch? Do you support the software long-term?
We structure support around SLAs matched to criticality. For mission-critical components like dispatch logic, market bidding, or grid-service workflows, response times are tight. The tiers are defined with you during the build, so the SLA reflects what each piece of the system actually does for your operation.
Day-to-day, ongoing work covers three things:
Operational support: monitoring live performance, resolving incidents, handling edge cases that only surface under real conditions, and keeping infrastructure patched and current;
Iterative development: new features, market rule changes, new asset onboarding, and integrations with systems you add over time;
Periodic reviews: quarterly check-ins on platform performance, roadmap, and any architectural decisions worth revisiting as your portfolio evolves.
If you eventually want to bring development in-house, we plan to make that transition with you, including documentation, runbooks, and structured knowledge transfer to your team.
