Commercial and institutional

Connect the site. Understand the operation. Optimize what matters.

Commercial sites rarely start clean. NovaFir connects the equipment that is already there, turns it into one operational view, and adds optimization where the complexity justifies it, without replacing certified asset-level control.

The commercial stack

Five parts, each with one job.

Not every site needs all five. The starting point is usually integration and visibility, and the rest is added only where it earns its place.

Connect · hardware

Atlas

Industrial edge integration and site connectivity for complex OT environments.

Atlas →
Connect · third party

NovaConnect

Approved third-party connector path where it suits the equipment and the site.

NovaConnect →
Understand

NovaCloud Commercial

Monitor, analyse, forecast and report across the site or the whole portfolio.

NovaCloud →
Optimize · optional

ASCEND

Advanced optimization and operational coordination within approved constraints.

ASCEND →
Hardware · optional

NexusPlus

Optional NovaFir commercial PV power conversion, planned 30 / 50 / 100 / 125 kW classes.

NexusPlus →
Brownfield modernization

Modernize the operation before the hardware.

Most commercial sites still have equipment with useful service life and a supervisory layer that has aged badly. The sequence below improves visibility and decisions first, and treats hardware replacement as a separate decision made on its own merits.

Step 01

Existing equipment

SCADA, meters, inverters, BESS, OEM systems and sensors already on site.

→
Step 02

Atlas or a supported NovaConnect path

Approved commercial integration where the site has OT requirements, or a supported connector path where that suits the equipment.

→
Step 03

NovaCloud Commercial

One normalized operational view, with monitoring, forecasting, reporting and data-health visibility.

Optional next

ASCEND

Added where operational complexity and optimization value justify it. NovaCloud Commercial remains useful without it.

Separate decision

NexusPlus

Considered for new PV power electronics or end-of-life inverter replacement, where NovaFir hardware is commercially appropriate. Working third-party equipment does not need replacing.

Hybrid and multi-source sites

Hybrid is an architecture, not a separate market.

Commercial sites increasingly combine several sources and flexible load. NovaFir’s value is unified visibility and operational intelligence across approved data sources, without replacing certified asset-level control on any of them.

Who this is for

Sites where energy is not the main business.

NovaFir’s initial commercial focus includes distributed and commercial sites below approximately 25 MW. That is a focus decision rather than a technical ceiling in the NovaCloud or Atlas architecture.

Procurement review

Security is part of commercial due diligence.

Commercial energy procurement increasingly evaluates supply-chain transparency and cybersecurity posture alongside price and performance. NovaFir’s commercial positioning is built to be reviewable on those terms.

✓
Critical-path sourcing preference outside China
Weighed against quality, availability, lifecycle, certification and total cost
✓
SBOM and HBOM disclosure
Component traceability for procurement review
✓
OT security by design
Architecture informed by IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82
✓
Bounded intelligence with auditable actions
Recommendations within approved constraints, read-only default for third-party assets
✓
Designed for long-cycle serviceability and support
Update paths, serviceable assemblies and lifecycle-aware component selection
Standards posture

OT architecture informed by IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82, including segmentation, least privilege, authenticated communications, device identity, signed updates and auditable access. Product and market-specific certification pathways are planned. Existing OEM protection and certified machine-control systems remain authoritative.
