 In a recent assessment for a hotel property in New England, the VECKTA platform modeled a solar and energy storage system with 90%+ percent accuracy of firm market bids. 

The indicative estimate is automatically generated in VECKTA’s platform using the address as an input. The output is a comprehensive report that includes the estimated ideal system size, expected generation, and associated financials. After a positive business case is confirmed, the next step is to input specific energy use data into the platform to refine the AI-enabled estimates.

The property owner is now using VECKTA’s marketplace to run a competitive bidding process and receive bids from pre-qualified suppliers. By using VECKTA’s platform and marketplace, customers can go through the entire assessment process within one week and have bids in hand from the market in 4 to 6 weeks.

Deploying Onsite Energy with VECKTA

Step 1: Automatic Indicative Assessment

Using the address and facility type as inputs, the VECKTA platform automatically provides an indicative system estimate by pulling in 5,000 data points, including: 

  • Electricity consumption
  • Regional solar and battery storage installed pricing and performance
  • Deployment costs 
  • Utility energy and demand charges 
  • Financial incentives
  • Regional grid carbon intensity

Step 2: Refine Model with Energy Load Data

For projects that meet investment and performance thresholds, the next step is to inject facility-specific electricity consumption data into the platform to refine estimates. This can be done using a bill or automatically using UtilityAPI. This subsequent step can also be rolled into the first step to fast-track the assessment process.

Step 3: Receive Bids from Pre-Qualified Contractors

Customers can go directly to the market and receive bids from pre-qualified contractors in VECKTA’s marketplace. VECKTA’s standardized RFP process and expert team empower customers to make a compelling ask to the market, without the need for in-house energy project development expertise.
