The foundation of profitable Power Plants
Low Power Networks: The Backbone of Profitable Energy Communities
Have you ever wondered why energy communities struggle to reach their full potential? At Riddle&Code, we discovered it's often due to something surprisingly basic: connectivity.
The Vision vs. Reality
Our mission is to transform energy communities into virtual power plants through intelligent load balancing. Sounds great in theory—but we quickly learned that you can't balance what you can't see.
Real-time visibility of every energy asset is essential, but the connectivity challenges we encountered were eye-opening:
- Thick concrete walls blocking signals from basement installations
- Spotty or non-existent mobile coverage in rural communities
- Metal meter box doors creating perfect signal blockers
- "Sorry, we turned off the router before vacation!"
- And our personal favourite: "The internet was working yesterday..."
Our Breakthrough Solution
After numerous field tests, we've developed a dual approach that actually works:
- MIOTY technology for reliable long-distance connections across the community
- Zigbee mesh networks for robust device clusters at individual locations
Proof in the Mountains
Just last week, we were in Stanz, testing our solution in challenging mountainous terrain. The results? Consistent connectivity where traditional methods had repeatedly failed.
This isn't just about keeping devices online—it's about unlocking the true economic potential of energy communities through reliable, real-time data flow.
