STRATEGY
Don’t Get Caught In The Storm
Alon Mashkovich
CEO & Co-Founder
RE+ is almost here, and we’re looking forward to seeing you there. Our team will be at booth W17124 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, showing our Energy Business Management and demonstrating how it is the ideal environment to maximize the value of Agentics. Stop by for a demo!
Renewable owners and operators manage two worlds that rarely talk to each other. One is asset performance: are the solar and storage sites running as they should? The other is the business: are we meeting our obligations, and are we earning what we planned? Different teams answer those questions, on different data, in different systems, often weeks apart. That gap is where the financial risk lives: revenue nobody can trace, trucks that didn’t need to roll, warranties about to expire and contracts nobody enforces.
Meanwhile, the pressure keeps building. Markets shift, policies change, storage revenue moves from year to year and portfolios keep getting more complex. Every change sends more data at your team from systems that don’t talk to each other. Nobody can stop the storm, but you can keep it from reaching your business.
Energy Business Management (EBM) is your umbrella. It brings both worlds into one system of record, covering monitoring, operations, finance, and contracts. Every event in the field is checked against the contracts and obligations behind it, so every alert carries a dollar value and every dollar traces back to its source.
With all that data connected, AI can deliver a lot more value, which makes this the best environment to deploy it. Agentics for EBM lets your team build customizable AI specialists without code. They track every asset, contract, obligation and alert, find the issues with the biggest impact on your bottom line, explain why, and prepare the next step, whether that’s a service ticket, a warranty claim or a dispatch change. The agents do the legwork, and your team makes the call.
Don’t get caught in the storm. Come see our Energy Business Management platform with agentics in action at booth W17124!

PRODUCT UPDATES
New At enSights: What We’re Launching At RE+
Nissan Hazzan
Vice President of Products
At RE+ we’re launching two additions to the enSights Energy Business Management (EBM) platform. One is a new Asset Finance Module that puts financial and contractual data in the same place as your operating data. The other is AI Studio, where you build your own AI teams on top of it.
The Asset Management package
Revenue Assurance for community solar: Expected versus actual revenue for every project, compared continuously. The gap is pinpointed site by site, in dollars.
Contracts and Obligations: AI reads every contract (PPAs, O&M agreements, land leases, insurance, warranties and permits) and turns each one into tracked obligations. Every night a compliance agent checks those obligations against service calls, invoices and documents. It flags anything that is expiring, breached or needs review before it turns into a penalty.
Business dashboard: An executive view of where the portfolio stands and which projects need attention this week.
P&L: Each project’s operational and financial picture side by side, with profitability tied to what’s happening on site and in the contracts.
AI Studio
Once operations, finance and contracts sit in one place, the platform becomes the foundation for your own AI agents. AI Studio lets you build no-code AI teams and decide which tools, permissions and workflows each agent can use. Your AI team keeps track of every asset, contract, obligation and alert. It brings the most business-critical issues to the surface and prepares the next step, such as a service ticket, a warranty claim or a contract to enforce. Your team reviews and approves every action.

MEET & GREET
Meet the Team
Jessica has spent 15 years in clean energy, across solar, storage, EV charging and virtual power plants, in markets from residential and C&I to DG and utility scale. She built the PR department at a solar startup through its IPO and three acquisitions to become a multi-billion dollar company, was the director of Renewables at a PR agency, and is published in a variety of solar media, including PV Magazine, Solar Builder, and Solar Power World. Previously a marketing consultant for enSights, she is now back at the company full time to lead marketing.
Time at enSights: Just joined as VP Marketing, after having worked with the team as a fractional CMO for about a year and a half
Focus area: Marketing and Communications
Clean energy experience: 15 years across the value chain, from OEMs and EPCs to asset owners and recyclers
Published work: Bylines in PV Magazine, Solar Power World, Renewable Energy World, and Solar Builder
Fun fact: She recently built a passive house in Minnesota with one of the best HERS scores in the state, and wrote about every step in a PV Magazine USA series called “Building not your average dream home”

EDITORIAL
The Agents Do The Legwork. Your Team Makes The Call.
Ask an asset manager how their morning starts and you’ll hear the same routine: log into the monitoring portal, scan the alarms, open the spreadsheet, dig out the contract, then decide whether a site is worth a truck roll. Each step makes sense on its own, but together they take up most of the day.
AI specialists can take on a lot of that work, with one condition: It’s only as good as the record it works from. A monitoring feed can tell the AI that an inverter is down. But AI can’t tell what the outage costs under the PPA, whether the warranty still covers it, or whether the O&M contract says someone should already be on site.
That’s the difference when AI specialists run on Energy Business Management (EBM). An APM agent might flag: “Inverter 4, Site 12: $3,200 at risk this week. Cause: string fault.” A specialist on EBM also checks the warranty and the PPA, explains its reasoning and prepares the next step, whether that’s a service ticket, a warranty claim or a contract to enforce. Your team reviews it and approves, and nothing moves without a person signing off.
Portfolios are adding storage and new contract structures faster than teams can hire, and up to 3–7% of margin can be at risk even when operating metrics look normal. Agents give a team the capacity to recover that money without growing headcount at the same pace.
We’ll be showing our new AI Team for EBM at RE+. Stop by booth W17124 and ask us what your portfolio lost last month!
Your job is hard. Solar asset managers have to make money from an asset they don’t control, using a resource they can’t schedule, while being held accountable for every dollar they didn’t make.
With the renewable energy industry evolving faster than ever, we'll continue sharing the trends, technologies, and operational insights shaping the future of solar and storage.
Have a topic you'd like us to explore, or a challenge you're facing? We'd love to hear from you.
