# ELIoT Energy
> Plug & Play Smart Battery Storage
Plug-and-play smart battery storage purpose-built for 24/7 point-of-sale refrigeration, cutting electricity costs and emissions with a sub-10-minute, no-electrician install. Offers hardware, subscriptions for EMS and emissions reporting, and Battery-as-a-Service for operators and energy retailers.
## About
### About us
ELIoT Energy builds a plug-and-play smart battery specifically purpose-built to power 24/7 point-of-sale refrigeration (coolers and fridges). Their product plugs into existing power in under 10 minutes with no electrician, is retrofittable to legacy equipment, runs hands-off, and performs real‑time grid-aware charging to cut electricity costs and emissions for cafés, breweries, retailers and other multisite operators.
### How ELIoT works
ELIoT continuously monitors grid price and emissions signals, so the battery absorbs surplus low‑cost solar or cheap grid energy when available and discharges overnight to avoid peak charges. The system is fully automated (no manual switching) and integrates emission reporting alongside energy‑management/EMS capabilities.
### Founding & traction
Founded and led by CEO David Hauser with CTO Philip Oefner, ELIoT has run live pilot deployments in Melbourne cafés, breweries and bars and is raising a pre‑seed round to scale to a 10,000‑battery target. The team cites advisors from Google, Deakin University and Investa and is actively fundraising (AU investors: ESIC‑eligible).
### Mission
Reduce running costs and emissions of point‑of‑sale refrigeration with a zero‑hands, plug‑and‑play battery solution that requires no approvals, no rewiring and minimal installation time.

## Capabilities
- Point‑of‑sale refrigeration energy storage — Design and deployment of plug‑and‑play batteries and EMS specifically optimised for continuous refrigeration loads at retail point‑of‑sale.
- Battery + EMS + IoT integration — Hardware battery units combined with energy‑management software that monitors grid price and emissions signals in real time and automates charge/discharge cycles; includes emissions reporting integration (CarbonCloud referenced).
- SMEs: cafés, restaurants, grocery stores — Targeted commercial refrigeration customers (SME venues running 24/7 coolers).
- Multisite operators & corporates — Enterprise fleets of point‑of‑sale coolers for retailers, convenience and QSR chains.
- Energy retailers / demand‑response partners — Integration opportunities to act as distributed demand‑response assets for retailers and energy suppliers.

## Track record
- **Six Fifty Sips — Port Melbourne (pilot)** (client: Six Fifty Sips; outcome: 72% lower electricity cost reported at the pilot site; Electricity cost reduction: 72%)
- **CBCo Brewing — Port Melbourne (pilot)** (client: CBCo Brewing; outcome: 0.5 tonnes less GHG per site reported; GHG reduction per site: 0.5 tonnes)
- **Little Growling Café — Melbourne (pilot)** (client: Little Growling Café; outcome: Live in under 10 minutes with zero downtime; Install time: <10 minutes)
- **Annual saving per battery (example)** (Current peak‑demand savings (WA): $690/yr; Current energy arbitrage savings (WA): $275/yr; Forecast 2028 peak‑shaving value: $1,465/yr; Estimated total forecast 2028 (peak + arbitrage): $1,465/yr (forecast value per battery listed on site))
- **Payback** (Payback period per battery: <3 yrs)
- **Product performance claims** (Lower electricity costs: 72% reduction; Fewer emissions: 89% reduction)
- **Live metering example (unnamed site)** (outcome: Demonstrated holding cost increases to a fraction of grid price spikes)
