DER at scale: Visible and in control
FlexGateway brings every DER asset on your network into your existing operational platform. Live data, grid-responsive controls, and end-to-end management from the grid all the way to the edge device at the customer's site. No new platforms. No parallel screens.

How it works
End-to-end visibility and control of DER on your grid
FlexGateway acts as the secure communications and control layer between your DER fleet and your existing operational systems.
Features
What FlexGateway does
in your operations, every day
Core capabilities designed to fit inside your existing operations — not sit alongside them.
Operational platform integration
Integrates with your existing ADMS or control room via supported protocols. DER data flows into the systems your operators already use.
Dynamic connection management
Deploy dynamic import and export limits to manage solar PV curtailment, battery and EV charging demand. Manage growing load and generation on the same feeder.
Vendor-agnostic interoperability
More than 70 DER manufacturers. Standards-based API. No OEM cloud dependency. No proprietary lock-in. Your fleet — whatever the brand.
Automated onboarding and commissioning
In-band device registration with built-in site commissioning tests. Compliance is verified at the point of registration — before a device formally enters operation.
Live DER visibility
Real-time telemetry from solar PV, BESS, HVAC and EV assets. Know what is generating, what is exporting, and where constraints are forming.
Cybersecurity
Mutual TLS and PKI-based authentication at every device. Firmware integrity verified. Unauthorised grid access blocked at the device — not just the network edge.
Operational forecasting
DER generation and load forecasts aggregated to feeder and substation level. Give your planning team the predictability to manage constraints ahead of time.
EV charging integration
OCPP support and CSMS integrations bring EV charging into your DER management strategy. As EV uptake accelerates, charging load is part of the picture from day one.

Building confidence for a rooftop solar powered future with Endeavour Energy
Endeavour Energy
Enabled visibility and control of rooftop solar across 1,200 customer sites through a single interface
Demonstrated a scalable, standards based DER management approach using IEEE 2030.5
Positioned the network to support future solar and battery growth while maintaining grid reliability
Grid- to-edge control
FlexGateway goes further with the Edge Controller
Most DER management platforms stop at the data layer. FlexGateway goes further. SwitchDin's Edge Controller (Droplet) is installed at the customer's site — extending operational control all the way to the device itself. Programme response curves, manage electrical disconnection, and run local commissioning tests.
This is end-to-end control, from the grid to the edge.
Critical for isolated network operators. SwitchDin's Edge Controller operates independently of cloud connectivity — reliable even on constrained communications infrastructure.
Without FlexGateway
No visibility in your control room
Proprietary protocols per OEM
Connection refusals rising
