Fusebox system vs Elyos Energy

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Who each solution is for

Fusebox system (Fusebox Energy)

A neutral, modular EMS + VPP operations platform for energy companies, BRPs/BSPs, aggregators, EPCs and asset owners that operate hybrid portfolios of PV, BESS, wind and flexible loads. Fusebox is designed to keep BRP/BSP and customer control in-house (or with chosen partners) while running site-level EMS, portfolio aggregation and market execution through a hardware-agnostic, multi-tenant platform across multiple European markets.

Elyos Energy

A PV/BESS and energy management/optimisation solution focused on site-level optimisation of PV, batteries and loads for self-consumption, peak shaving and tariff optimisation. Elyos is typically deployed as a site or project EMS rather than a full multi-tenant EMS + VPP platform built for cross-TSO flexibility operations.

When to choose Fusebox system

Choose Fusebox system if you are a utility, BRP/BSP, aggregator, EPC, IPP or asset fund that:

  • Needs both hybrid-site EMS and portfolio VPP and market tooling.

  • Plans to operate across multiple TSOs and countries, not only a local tariff optimisation context.

  • Wants to build white-label, multi-tenant EMS + VPP products for customers and partners under your own brand.

  • Needs demand response and flexibility from consuming assets as a first-class capability.

  • Wants broad asset coverage including multi-asset sites and scaling from utility-scale down to C&I and smaller assets, including aggregator-of-aggregators models.

  • Wants fast time-to-revenue, typically 1–6 months depending on whether new TSO connections must be built.

  • Values proven delivery: 11 years in market and experience integrating 100+ different asset types into tradable portfolios.

When to choose Elyos Energy

Choose Elyos if you are a C&I site owner, real-estate portfolio or local ESCO and:

  • Mainly want on-site optimisation of PV + BESS + loads for bill reduction, demand charge avoidance and self-consumption.

  • Are not yet focused on running a VPP, participating broadly in ancillary and flexibility markets, or launching a white-label multi-tenant EMS + VPP business.

  • Prefer a simpler site-level EMS deployment rather than a portfolio and market operations platform.

WHERE FUSEBOX SYSTEM WINS

Questions

Fusebox covers hybrid-site EMS and the portfolio layer required to monetise flexibility across TSOs and markets, including bidding/dispatch workflows and operational evidence. Elyos is primarily a site optimisation solution for local economics.

WHERE ELYOS WINS

Simple turnkey site EMS for PV + BESS + loads

For single-site or small portfolio customers focused on self-consumption, peak shaving and tariff optimisation, Elyos can be a straightforward and narrow solution with less organisational change.

Clear bill-optimisation story for facility and real-estate owners

When the buyer KPI is bill reduction rather than market participation, a site-first EMS narrative can be easier to adopt and implement.

IDEAL CUSTOMER FIT BREAKDOWN

Who should choose Fusebox system

  • Utilities, BRPs/BSPs, aggregators, EPCs, IPPs and asset funds building flexibility as a scalable business line.

  • Organisations that need one platform for hybrid-site EMS, portfolio aggregation and market execution across multiple TSOs and countries.

  • Teams that require multi-tenant and white-label capability, demand response, broad asset coverage, and a DIY core without vendor lock-in.

Who should choose Elyos Energy

  • C&I and real-estate owners or local ESCOs with a small number of PV+BESS+load sites.

  • Organisations primarily optimising local energy bills and self-consumption and not yet aiming to build a multi-TSO VPP business or customer-facing platform offering.

STRATEGIC POSITIONING ANGLE

Elyos Energy is a good fit for local PV + BESS site optimisation focused on bill reduction and tariff optimisation. Fusebox system is the EMS + VPP operational backbone for organisations that want to scale beyond single sites: hybrid-site EMS plus portfolio aggregation and market execution across TSOs and countries, delivered through a neutral, multi-tenant, hardware-agnostic platform that supports white-label offerings and long-term commercial control.
