VoltMage Zenith
Produces plant-specific PV forecasts using irradiance, inverter behavior, clipping, curtailment and telemetry.
Product detailSolar battery optimization
PV + BESS optimization as one coordinated operating problem.
Use plant-specific solar forecasts, market intelligence and battery constraints to decide when to export, charge, hold or discharge.
ARCHITECTURE SCOPE VoltMage combines plant-specific PV forecasting, battery optimization and local execution; results depend on the configured asset and market.The operating problem
Co-location creates shared constraints—and more ways to use flexibility.
A PV plant and battery share weather exposure, connection capacity, schedules and commercial commitments. Optimizing them independently can create avoidable curtailment, infeasible export plans or battery actions that ignore the value of upcoming solar production.
- Update expected PV production as cloud cover, telemetry and plant availability change.
- Coordinate charging with forecast solar surplus, market prices and grid export limits.
- Choose whether battery capacity should support arbitrage, imbalance reduction or later flexibility.
- Represent inverter clipping, curtailment, battery SOC and shared connection constraints.
- Connect the co-optimized schedule to site execution and verify the physical response.
How VoltMage solves it
Forecast both the resource and the market before optimizing the shared asset.
VoltMage builds separate but connected views of PV production, market conditions and battery flexibility. The optimizer evaluates feasible site trajectories, while policy and edge layers preserve the authority of plant controls.
VoltMage Perun
Adds Balkan-focused cloud movement and terrain context where fast weather changes drive forecast risk.
Product detailVoltMage Discharge
Optimizes the battery trajectory against PV, market and physical constraints.
Product detailVoltMage Edge EMS
Connects the approved plant schedule to telemetry and local execution.
Product detailHow it works
From input to verified operating outcome.
Each stage keeps its own responsibility and evidence. That makes it possible to test the commercial logic before expanding control authority.

FAQ
Questions buyers and technical teams ask.
FAQ content is visible on the page. FAQ structured data is intentionally omitted because current Google eligibility is restricted and this is a commercial software site.
What is PV + BESS optimization?
PV + BESS optimization selects a coordinated production, charging and discharging plan for a solar plant and battery that share commercial objectives and often a grid connection.
Can the battery reduce solar imbalance exposure?
A battery can provide flexibility around PV forecast deviations, subject to available SOC, power, connection limits, market rules and the value of using that flexibility elsewhere. It is an optimization choice, not an automatic guarantee.
How are curtailment and clipping handled?
Plant-specific forecasts can include observed clipping, curtailment and inverter behavior. The optimizer can then test battery actions against the shared site envelope and expected production.
Can VoltMage optimize a DC-coupled project?
Coupling topology changes the model and interface boundary. VoltMage reviews the single-line, metering, inverter and control architecture before confirming the applicable optimization and EMS design.
Does the battery always charge from solar?
No. The optimal source and timing depend on connection rules, tariffs, market prices, contracts, efficiency, cycling policy and the next expected use of the battery.
Can we simulate a planned project?
Yes. VoltMage can model candidate sizes and operating policies using stated market, weather, degradation and constraint assumptions. Simulation outputs are labeled as scenarios, not production results.
