Welcome to Stormcloud
Secure control | Actionable data | Unparalleled flexibility
To manufacturers, I’m a shortcut to market and a competitive advantage.
To installers, I’m an extra team member with a talent for relationship-building.
To energy retailers, I’m a myriad of new business models and a serious value-add for customers.
For networks, I manage the unmanageable.
And to system owners, I’m a world of possibilities.
Who am I?
I’m Stormcloud.
Stormcloud is a smart, digital platform that securely connects distributed energy resources (DER) all over the grid, making it more secure and efficient.
From rooftop solar and batteries, to community solar and storage and EV charging infrastructure, Stormcloud enables you to connect, control and communicate with a diverse range of assets, delivering a truly flexible and responsive grid.

Orchestration, Asset Management & Optimisation
By enabling variable energy resources to respond to the needs of the network at any given time, Stormcloud is an invaluable grid management tool. For homes and
businesses, it lets them gain a better understanding of their energy while reaping the rewards of helping to support the grid.
That’s just the beginning. Stormcloud also facilitates fleet management, dispatch and market participation for virtual power plants and more. And with the addition of SwitchDin’s analytics module, Stormcloud IQ, it provides advanced, customisable, fleet-wide analytics and visualisation too.
Imagine if a home or business could respond to energy price fluctuations, constantly adjusting to save and make money. This is within reach in the not-too-distant future.
The key to coordination? Integration
The key to all of this, of course, is making a huge number of device types and brands talk to each other through a single platform. This is no small task, but we’ve done it. So rest assured our technology is device and vendor-agnostic, allowing diverse fleets to be monitored & controlled through a single platform.
It’s been tried, tested and works with many brands & platforms, with more flooding in.
A Scalable, Secure & Validated Solution
Connecting via virtual, embedded or hardware Droplets, Stormcloud connects your system to a world of opportunity that simply didn’t exist before. System owners now have access to virtual power plants, and energy retailers can develop a host of new products to better serve their customers. Manufacturers can relax
about compliance, knowing SwitchDin can help grant them entry to heavily regulated markets, and will also prepare them for incoming standards like IEEE 2030.5
Stormcloud offers an elegant solution that delivers behind-the-meter insight, and prepares everyone for upstream market changes.
Stomcloud IQ
When you connect to distributed energy resources (DER) all over the grid you can generate an enormous amount of data. That’s why we developed StomcloudIQ: so you can tailor the real-time data you see, all in one platform instead of integrating data from multiple sources.
Combine data sources to create new insights
Use data from rooftop solar, batteries and other DERs with GIS coded data and combine it with weather forecasts, real-time wholesale market pricing to aid your decisions.
Manage diverse fleets of any size much faster
Complete visibility of every site you manage on a single platform regardless of the brand of solar inverter, batteries, smart meters, EVs and more.
Single source of truth
Stormcloud IQ assembles all your data under one platform.
Transform data into dashboards and visualise big data the way you like it
So it’s useful for finance, operations, administration, or any other business unit. Export data for analysis, customise dashboards, visualise big data, create reports, or receive email alerts.
