Enerlis accelerates its photovoltaic activities with the Likewatt SaaS solution

Enerlis is strengthening its operational ties with Likewatt, the Lyon-based start-up, by using its SaaS solution for techno-economic modeling on all its photovoltaic installation projects.

For the past year, all Enerlis group projects have benefited from productivity gains of 20% in their pre-sales cycle.

Present simple, transparent and reliable simulation data: the conditions of trust for beneficiaries

Building on this rapprochement, Enerlis offers its customers the ability to easily extract, simulate, optimize and evaluate their photovoltaic projects online. Over the past year of using the Likewatt , Enerlis has seen an average reduction in its pre-sales cycle of 20% while benefiting from increased precision of estimated benefits for their customers.

The actors of such projects, whether they are local authorities or private actors, need to share the technical-economic scenarios in a clear and transparent manner.
Solar power plant projects are sometimes subject to opposition which considerably slows down project development.

Likewatt's SaaS solution, thanks to its simple and intuitive simulation presentations, easily modifiable and perfectly representative of reality, plays an
educational role that promotes confidence and triggers faster decisions with sponsors, funders and the community , when it comes to projects of public interest. Likewatt's SaaS solution critically contributes to driving the acceptability of photovoltaic projects.

Check the sustainability of third-party financing or self-consumption projects

With the Likewatt partnership, the Enerlis teams optimize their customers' investment and the valorization of their photovoltaic installations. They generate precise forecast financial statements integrating invoice savings and surplus sales income, correctly established on the basis of hourly data and present a financing plan adapted to their clients' project: investment with or without loan, rental or PPA by crossing them with the advantages of the different possible use cases, total self-consumption, surplus sale or sale in full.

Sizing the solution as close as possible to the reality of a project over 20 years or more

Thanks to artificial intelligence integrated into Likewatt's SaaS software, it is now possible to collect all the data necessary for each building (load curves, tariff structure, weather data, CO2 footprint, available surface area, subscribed powers, etc.) , to analyze their consumption characteristics and electricity costs and to optimize the sizing of photovoltaic systems with or without batteries or hydrogen systems.

“In the past year that the Enerlis solar team has been using the Likewatt SaaS solution, we have had very concrete feedback in terms of accelerating our pre-sales efforts: data extraction, real-time simulation of scenarios in third-party financing or self-consumption allow us to establish trust based on the transparency of shared data and accelerates our pre-sales operations by an average of 20%. We thus operate more efficiently while being more reliable in the business plans we build,” explains Pierre Marie BERLINGERI, director of the Enerlis Solar Business Unit .

“Likewatt is pleased to contribute to the development of Enerlis’ solar activities. Our SaaS platform guarantees reliability, but above all enormously accelerates pre-sales processes thanks to automated data collection and easy and intuitive generation of simulations. » says Chady Kharrat, founder of Likewatt .
