Energy Management Platform
Stay grid compliant. Cut energy costs. Keep sites running.
Switchdin connects, monitors and optimises distributed energy assets across your portfolio — so you satisfy network requirements, reduce energy bills, and stay on top of every site.
Trusted on both sides of the meter— by DNSPs and C&I operators
Built for every part of your energy challenge
Regulatory compliance
Meet CSIP-AUS, SCADA and network requirements and satisfy market participation mandates with a trusted platform.
Maximise returns
Improve asset utilisation, generate revenue and strengthen returns — from your DER assets, across every market and tariff structure.
Site uptime & reliability
Keep sites running. Proactive monitoring across every vendor, with alerts and failover built in — so faults are caught before they become outages.
Carbon & sustainability
Auditable, granular site data for ESG and energy efficiency reporting — and the optimisation layer to improve your carbon outcomes over time.
What it solvesFrom regulatory compliance to market participation— we cover it all
Regulatory & Market compliance
New compliance obligations and the clock is ticking.
CSIP-AUS, Emergency Backstop, dynamic export limits, market participation mandates — compliance obligations for connected DER are growing across networks and markets. Understanding what applies, proving you meet it, and getting approved is a real project with real deadlines.
SwitchDin's IEEE 2030.5 client runs directly on the edge controller — on-device, not proxied. DNSPs across Australia already work with us on both sides. Beyond Australia, our platform supports international grid protocols (OpenADR, OCCP, DNP3 etc.) — so whether your project spans markets or future requirements shift, the same stack has you covered.
Maximise returns
Your asset should earn, not just operate.
Default device settings aren't optimised for your tariff structure, your load profile, or live market conditions. When planning a new deployment, savings assumptions on paper don't always survive contact with real retailer contracts and demand charge structures.
We model scenarios before you invest, then optimise continuously after — generating revenue, improving utilisation and strengthening returns across all your DER. Independent of OEM and retailer. Whole-of-site, not battery-only.
Site uptime & reliability
Prevent silent failures before it hits your revenue
Across a portfolio with equipment from different vendors, silent failures are routine. Teams log into multiple OEM portals to piece together what's happening. By the time a fault surfaces, the cost or the missed revenue has already hit.
Fleet-wide monitoring with configurable alerts and independent meter data. One view across every vendor. Proactive detection of assets going offline or behaving abnormally — including after firmware changes.
Carbon & sustainability
Your ESG report needs real site data, not estimates.
Carbon and energy efficiency reporting requires accurate, granular data from assets themselves — not OEM-supplied figures reconciled in a spreadsheet. Organisations need to show measurable progress against targets.
High-quality, auditable site data from every asset on the platform. Supports your current reporting stack today — with a roadmap toward direct reporting capability as requirements evolve.
How it worksOnsite hardware and Cloud working together
SwitchDin puts intelligence on-site — control keeps running at the edge, even when the cloud connection drops. You get reliability of the decision making at the edge and the scalability of the cloud management.
Edge Controller
The edge controller sits on-site, connecting and controlling your DER solar, batteries, meters, loads regardless of vendor or protocol.
Vendor-agnostic device connectivity
IEEE 2030.5 CSIP-AUS client — runs on device
Operates locally if cloud connectivity is lost
High-availability warm standby on-site

Fleet Manager
Cloud platform for monitoring and managing your entire portfolio — every site, every device, one place.
Portfolio and site management dashboard

Why SwitchDin
Trusted on both sides of the meter
Trusted by both DNSPs and C&I operators
SwitchDin operates across the utility side and the C&I side with the same platform. That dual relationship is what makes grid compliance approvals straightforward
Pioneers in CSIP-AUS
SwitchDin was part of the original CSIP-AUS working group. We built the first certified client in the market, ran the national certification tooling, and remain active in the IEEE 2030.5 and CSIP-AUS committees today.
Vendor-agnostic by design
Your site has inverters, batteries and meters from different manufacturers. SwitchDin connects and controls all of them — without requiring single-vendor lock-in, and without replacing equipment that's already working.
Let's talk about your energy investments.
Whether you have a DNSP compliance deadline, a new deployment in planning, or a portfolio you need better visibility over — talk to a Switchdin expert about what's possible.
