Project File & Marketing Readiness

Run battery storage, PV, and grid connection projects as a project file. The evidence for maturity stages R0–R8 follows the German transmission system operators' maturity procedure and the checklists of banks and buyers. The tool shows the stage reached, the next steps, expiring deadlines, and when the project can be marketed.
