The neutral record for battery deals

One independent record every party to a battery deal can settle on.

How the batteries were actually run, how much capacity they have left, and what the contract says happens next — determined by a party with no stake in the answer. The owner, the lender, the insurer and the offtaker all read the same result.

The problem

Every battery contract rebuilds the same measurement from scratch.

Tolling agreements, capacity contracts, warranties and loans all turn on two questions: were the agreed operating limits respected, and how much capacity is left? Today each deal answers them with the manufacturer's data, the operator's reports and an engineering review at closing — each sound on its own terms, none of them a measurement every party agreed to in advance. So the answer gets argued again for the fifteen years the debt is outstanding, and every project is diligenced as an exception instead of financed as a class.

The owner carries the degradation: when capacity fades, the lost revenue is theirs. The manufacturer's warranty covers part of it — but its guaranteed curve, its term and the manufacturer's ability to pay are exactly what a lender worries about when it sizes the debt. Cover that wraps the warranty can close that gap. It is new, and today every deal builds the evidence for it on its own.

Other asset classes solved this the same way: contracts stopped redefining the measurement and started citing a standard, kept by someone with nothing riding on the result.

How a deal runs on EcoVerse

You bring your counterparties. Everyone reads the same record.

Set up the deal, free

Describe the batteries and how they'll be run. You get the operating limits, a preliminary capacity floor — the line the batteries must stay above — and the contract schedules for your structure.

Name your counterparties

Your lender, your insurer, the company that will measure capacity. Send each one a link with one specific request: review the floor, say whether you'd quote, confirm the method.

They look, and join free

Everyone accepts the same confidentiality agreement once, sees the deal from their own side, and joins at no cost. Nobody is contacted who wasn't named by you.

Every measurement date, one answer

The floor is locked in. On each measurement date, capacity is compared against it and operation against the agreed limits. Everyone reads the same result, and anyone's auditor can re-run it.

What's your role in battery deals?

Each role sees the record in its own terms. Pick yours to see what you get from it and how to start.

For service companies

Get listed. Get named on deals. Get graded on your own work.

If you measure capacity, meter usage, do independent engineering or run dispatch, list your company in about five minutes. When owners set up a deal, they pick from the list. Every number you file carries the grade your method earns — the grade a lender and an insurer see beside your name.

How the list works

  • Free to list: a company whose evidence EcoVerse grades never pays EcoVerse. Nobody pays for position.
  • Alphabetical. EcoVerse never ranks or recommends.
  • Public only when you approve it.
  • The first companies in each role are marked as founding members.
  • Bring your own clients: every deal they run with you named is work for you.

What it costs, and who pays

The owner pays a small, fixed share. No one else pays for the deal.

EcoVerse is paid only for acting as the neutral party that keeps the record — never by the size of a shortfall, never by any party whose evidence it grades, and it never holds or pays any money. Lenders, insurers, offtakers, suppliers, contractors and every service company are on a deal at no charge.

~1.5% of installed cost

Everything EcoVerse is paid over the life of a small or mid-size deal. Less for large ones.

2% cap

A guarantee in every deal's paperwork: total fees never exceed 2% of the installed cost you declare.

10 founding deals

The first ten deals pay half the setup and half the first year, with every fee fixed for the life of the deal. Nominate a project.

The rules are public

Nothing is a black box. Your lawyers can read every rule.

A contract on the record doesn't restate how evidence is graded or how a battery is identified; it cites a published standard by version. The schedules drop into your own agreements. All free, all versioned, old versions never removed.

Performance Evidence StandardHow a measurement earns its grade. Battery Market Identifier StandardHow a battery is identified on the record. Seven contract schedulesOperating limits, capacity floor, evidence, lender, insurer and more — for your own paper. One confidentiality agreementAccepted once, covers everyone on the platform.

What EcoVerse does

  • Forecasts the capacity floor from the declared operating limits with a national-laboratory battery-lifetime model, taking the lower end of the range.
  • Compares qualified capacity evidence against the floor, and actual operation against the agreed limits, on every measurement date.
  • Records the determination and calculates what the contract says follows, by a published method anyone's auditor can re-run.

What EcoVerse doesn't do

  • Carry any of the risk it measures, or take a view on prices.
  • Underwrite cover, make a credit decision, or bring deals to lenders — those belong to the insurer, the lender and the owner.
  • Hold, pay or direct any money.
