Frequently asked questions

What exactly is PeakPilot?

PeakPilot is a simulation platform for business local energy systems. It brings load profiles, generation, grid connection, EV charging and battery storage together so you can compare technical and financial outcomes by scenario.

General
Who is PeakPilot for?

PeakPilot is built for energy advisers, installers and asset suppliers advising business clients on grid congestion, EV charging, solar and battery storage. It supports the adviser; it is not an end-user portal or energy management system.

General
How does the quickscan work?

The quickscan captures the main client and project inputs for an initial scenario indication. Use it to select variants for further work, then verify source data and assumptions before giving final client advice.

Simulation and results
Which Dutch regulations are included?

PeakPilot can include configured Dutch energy tax, grid operator tariffs and contract tariffs in a calculation. For each client case, verify the tariff year, connection and applicability of the selected inputs; the software does not replace legal or tax advice.

Simulation and results
What does PeakPilot cost?

PeakPilot offers Starter for up to three active projects, Professional for unlimited projects and more extensive analysis and reporting, and Enterprise for features such as white-label reports and custom integrations. See the pricing page for current plan contents and pricing.

Billing and plan
How does the trial work?

After registration, you receive fourteen days of Professional access without payment details. The workspace then continues as Starter unless you select Professional.

Billing and plan
Can I cancel my plan at any time?

Yes. You can cancel through Settings > Billing. You keep access until the end of the billing period. Data remains available within the Starter plan limits.

Billing and plan
Which file formats are supported for data import?

PeakPilot supports Excel and CSV files. CSV files may use the Dutch semicolon format. Dutch column names such as datum, verbruik, and opwek are recognized automatically.

Data and import
Which measurement data do I need?

At minimum, you need a timestamp column and one measurement column, for example load in kWh. For accurate results, quarter-hour data over a full year is preferred.

Data and import
What if my data is incomplete?

The import checks make missing intervals and unusual measurement values visible. Review data quality and repair or replace source data before drawing conclusions for your client.

Data and import
How long does a simulation take?

Run time depends on the period, number of assets and analysis type. PeakPilot shows progress; an extensive sizing or multi-year analysis generally needs more calculation time than a basic simulation.

Simulation and results
How is grid export represented in the results?

PeakPilot shows grid import and export separately for the selected scenario. Their financial value follows the contract and tariff inputs configured for the client case; verify those inputs against the current agreement.

Simulation and results
My simulation failed. What now?

First check the topology, linked profiles, units and project settings. If the simulation still fails, send support the error message and enough project context to investigate, without sharing unnecessary client data.

Simulation and results
Which browsers are supported?

PeakPilot works best in modern versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Internet Explorer is not supported.

Technical
Is my data safe?

Protected operations require a signed-in user with an active organization. Server-side checks bind projects and data to that organization. See the security page for access roles, sharing and optional AI processing.

Technical
How do I invite team members?

Go to Settings > Members and choose Invite member. Enter the email address and choose a role. Only admins can invite members and change roles.

Account and organization
What is the difference between member and admin?

Members can create projects, build topologies, import data, and run simulations. Admins can also manage organization settings, members, subscriptions, and tariff settings.

From question to answer

A useful answer remains traceable to the client case.

Define the decision

Identify the investment, contract choice or capacity boundary the client actually needs to assess.

Check data and assumptions

Expose missing intervals, units, profiles and scenario assumptions before calculating.

Compare on one basis

Place the baseline and alternatives side by side and keep every outcome tied to its inputs.

Useful inputs to prepare

These three elements get you to a useful answer faster.

The case does not need to be complete. An initial dataset and a clear decision question are enough for a focused start.

  1. 01

    Interval values or a representative consumption and generation profile

  2. 02

    Connection capacity, contract limits and known export restrictions

  3. 03

    The investment or operating choice the client wants to compare
