Route each battery to its best price window
Pollen reads 15-minute settlement prices across solar and storage sites, then dispatches each asset to charge, hold, or sell when conditions are most favorable. Manual control cannot cover hundreds of sites at once.
Manual control breaks at fleet scale
15-minute windows move faster than operations teams. Across many sites, arbitrage stays hidden.
Price windows close fast
Intraday wholesale prices change every 15 minutes across MIBEL and other European markets. One person cannot monitor several assets and act within each window.
Operators lose track across the fleet
Watching SOC, grid frequency, local irradiance, and price curves across ten or more sites exceeds one operator's reach. Fixed schedules then capture only part of available revenue.
Site detail ignored
One rule for the whole fleet overlooks each site's SOC, local solar forecast, and grid connection limits. The missed revenue accumulates across settlement periods.
Site-level logic, fleet-scale execution
Three layers run continuously: price intake, site optimization, and autonomous dispatch. Each asset is assessed per window.
Live settlement prices at 15-minute resolution
Pollen continuously retrieves day-ahead and intraday prices from MIBEL, EPEX, and other European market APIs. Curves are normalized and stored by settlement period, ready for dispatch without operator input.
15-min resolutionBattery SOC, solar outlook, grid limits
Each asset is assessed on its current SOC, local irradiance forecast, and available grid capacity. Dispatch logic stays specific to the site rather than averaging across the fleet.
Charge, hold, or sell at the right time
Commands reach site hardware through API connections, so operators need not approve every action. They define policy limits, and Pollen acts within those limits continuously.
Early operators, measured results
Internal pilot data. Results differ with fleet mix, market zone, and hardware type.

Three actions, each settlement period
Every 15-minute interval follows one sequence: take in prices, assess sites, send commands.
Price intake
Market APIs provide settlement prices at 15-minute resolution. Day-ahead and intraday curves are processed continuously.
Fleet assessment
Pollen checks each site's SOC, local solar forecast, and grid limits against the current price signal.
Site dispatch
Hardware APIs receive charge, hold, or sell commands within the settlement window. Per-action approval is not required.
Operators on actual fleets
Independent solar operatorWe used a fixed schedule, charging in the morning and selling in the afternoon. Pollen caught intraday spikes that would otherwise pass unnoticed. We had the same settlement data, but could not monitor it across 32 sites at the same time.
Small-scale VPP aggregatorThe site-level SOC logic stood out. Our old tool sent one command to everything. Pollen treats batteries separately, so a nearly full site can respond differently from one at 30% SOC. That difference shows up in revenue.
