Book consultationSanufa's platform is designed to aggregate and manage diverse distributed energy resources (DERs) including rooftop solar arrays, battery storage systems, electric vehicle chargers, heat pumps, and flexible loads. Our technology works with residential, commercial, and community-scale assets, enabling portfolio owners to create virtual power plants of any size. The system is hardware-agnostic and compatible with all major inverter, battery, and EV charging manufacturers.
Sanufa maximizes asset value through multiple revenue streams: optimizing export timing to capture peak electricity prices, participating in grid flexibility services (frequency response, capacity market, balancing mechanism), delivering demand-side response, trading in wholesale energy markets, and monetizing carbon reductions. Our AI forecasting algorithms predict grid conditions and energy prices to automatically optimize asset operation across these value streams, creating a 35-55% increase in returns compared to standard fixed export tariffs.
Sanufa offers seamless integration with existing energy infrastructure through our API-first architecture. We connect with major inverter manufacturers, battery management systems, building energy management systems (BEMS), and smart meters. Our platform also integrates with energy trading platforms, grid operator systems, and carbon registries. For housing providers, we provide integration pathways with property management systems to enable transparent benefit sharing and reporting.
Sanufa ensures that building occupants benefit directly from our energy solutions through lower bills, improved comfort, and greater resilience. Our platform maximizes on-site renewable energy consumption (typically 70-85%) before exporting excess generation. Residents receive transparent reporting on their energy usage, generation, and savings through our mobile app. For housing providers, we offer configurable benefit-sharing models that can provide residents with energy bill savings while still generating revenue for the property owner.
Sanufa employs industry-leading Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) methodologies aligned with international standards to accurately quantify carbon reductions from renewable generation and energy efficiency measures. Our platform provides continuous monitoring and automated reporting that meets the requirements of voluntary carbon markets and compliance schemes. We handle the entire process from data collection to verification by accredited bodies, carbon credit issuance, and market placement, typically generating £80-120 per tonne CO₂e in additional revenue.
Our implementation process typically takes 4-10 weeks depending on asset type and scale. We begin with an energy asset audit and revenue potential assessment, followed by hardware integration, communications setup, market registration, and system commissioning. For retrofits to existing systems, we can often deploy remotely with minimal on-site work. Post-launch, we provide 24/7 monitoring, regular performance optimization, and quarterly reviews. Our revenue-share business model means we're incentivized to continuously maximize your returns, with no upfront costs in most deployment scenarios.
