​

Best GaaS is a fast-growing ‘Energy as a Service’  company, which means we utilize all available means of energy creation and conservation available to you. It uses the block-chain to facilitate electricity and environmental commodity trading. 

 

Energy re imagined

Not all kilowatt hours are equal. Some are peak, some are average, some are clean, some are dirty, some are biomass, and some unfortunately, are surplus to requirements.

 

Best GaaS software allows the consumers and producers to track, trace, and trade every kind of kilowatt wherever it is and whatever it is.

 

A photovoltaic cell or wind turbine producing clean, silent, free, zero carbon kilowatts is a wonderful thing. It is a game changer helping  energy consumers tackle the biggest climate challenges. Merely wishing for a solar panel on everyone’s roof does not equate to reality. The potential for this reality may even bring its own set of problems.

 

However, studies show a fully GaaS MODE raised market driven grid can zero out all (vast majority?) environmental problems and allow energy consumers the opportunity to choose the energy consumers want to consume. BEST GaaS’s  mission is to provide the platform for this market and in the process, bring on the democratisation of power.

 

The real opportunity here lies with utilities - technologies for commercially generating your own power are getting better and more affordable. So why not embrace and provide a standard peer-to-peer (P2P) platform and charge for the flow of electricity in every direction?

 

This deployment will demonstrate to utilities that this is a viable option to keep and grow business as the market evolves - which is one of the biggest attractions about Best GaaS. They recognized the need to work with the existing utilities and existing wires - which will be huge for greater adoption.

 

Energy tracking and trading features can be used to give consumers choice over the energy they use and facilitate the trading of electricity peer to peer. Solar P2P energy trading can deal with excess solar in the grid without subsidy.

 

If you have solar panels on your rooftop you can use our platform to sell excess energy to your neighbor. When coupled with batteries and our VPP platform feature, surplus solar can be stored and sold at the peak to maximize profits.

What is GaaS Grid?

GaaS Grid enables energy trading within micro grids.

 

GaaS Grid can be used in shopping centers, apartment complexes, office buildings and retirement villages.

 

If you live in an apartment building or manage and develop properties for a living, getting everyone comfortable that the system will calculate everything fairly could be a challenge.

 

The Best GaaS platform handles this simply and transparently using the block-chain. The platform enables residents to trade solar energy with each other and monetize their roof space. It means residents can buy from those closest to them, keeping the investment, profit and benefit of renewable's within the community.

 

In shopping centers and commercial buildings, GaaS Grid can create the marketplace from complex energy systems to deliver return on investment for asset owners.

 

GaaS Grid provides detailed usage data and consumption tracking to identify where the bulk of energy is being used. GaaS Grid creates a local energy marketplace, with trading rules that can be set based on how you want the market to operate.

 

Detailed usage data allows you to track consumption and be more energy efficient in common areas, because you’ll be able to see where the bulk of energy is being used, and by whom, and manage it more efficiently.

 

For developers or building managers, the platform means you can offer more attractive rates to residents in comparison with traditional service providers.

GaaS xGrid

Trade across the grid with benefits for the customer, retailer and distribution network

 

What is GaaS xGrid?

GaaS xGrid lets your customers sell energy from their solar panels to other energy consumers connected to the same electricity grid. From generation to consumption it manages the settlement of the energy transaction between the two parties, allowing for dynamic price-discovery in down to five minute intervals.

 

Users can tailor their profiles to onboard and sell power in any way they like, all the time building engagement with your electricity brand in several ways:

 

P2P: Anyone with or without solar panels can trade electricity with their peers.

 

Loyalty P2P: Shoppers can sell their rooftop electricity to their favorite high street brand in exchange for vouchers. This is a great option for high street brands because it builds brand engagement – footfall and click fall with their own customers.

 

Gifted P2P: Customers can simply gift electricity to friends, neighbors, schools and community groups.

 

Cross Store P2P: Commercial customers can share solar between their stores based in different locations within the same grid, even when only one of them has a PV installation.

 

Residential to Commercial & Industrial: Commercial electricity tariffs in many countries such as Malaysia, India, the Philippines  are higher than residential tariffs. It makes sense for residential customers with solar to sell electricity to commercial customers for more than the residential rate but less than the commercial one. It also encourages residential customers to install solar.

 

How does GaaS xGrid work?

Matches per-site energy generation and consumption on a per-interval basis, down to 5 minute duration.

Allows dynamic price discovery, taking into account both the buyer and seller’s preferred pricing as well as the relative amounts of available supply and demand.

Balance VPP

A virtual power plant is created when you connect batteries individually or in unison to support the grid and maximize income from excess solar energy.

Register your interest

Calculate your savings with Balance VPP

 

What is a VPP?

A VPP is a virtual network of battery storage systems, connected through cloud-based software that manages the flow of clean electricity to maximize your revenue. The VPP software is triggered to export your excess solar energy when wholesale market prices peak, giving you the highest return on investment while supporting the electricity grid with clean solar power.

 

When operating as a VPP, households and businesses can sell their stored battery electricity during price spikes to pay back the investment in their systems faster, or even make a passive income profit.

 

How does the VPP work?

Best GaaS’s Balance VPP monitors the energy market and sets price spike alerts. When demand jumps, energy retailers automatically draw power from the VPP and the households receive income from excess solar stored in their battery.

 

Best GaaS club's Members will gain access to Best GaaS’s software and discounted home battery systems, enabling households to profit from power price spikes and demand shortages to leverage the wholesale market.

PPA Exchange

Making renewables PPAs seamless

 

What is PPA Exchange?

Tenders for Renewable Energy are popular worldwide. Procurement is typically taking place by issuing one-off Requests for Proposals (RFPs). These bespoke RFPs,as well as the contracting and negotiation phases that follow, are complex and time-consuming to develop, manage, and evaluate. Additionally, bilateral Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) negotiations do not provide market participants (buyers or sellers) with price discovery. Given the pace of price decline for renewable energy and the increase in technology development traditional RFPs are imperfect tools for scaling Renewable Energy purchasing.

 

Best GaaS ‘s  PPA Exchange Platform, offers a solution where the time to procure PPAs can be shortened considerably using technology and legally vetted PPA templates to provide an auction marketplace to expedite and simplify the procurement process.

 

Best GaaS’s PPA exchange platform feature is a reverse auction marketplace buying and selling PPAs.
