AMMP builds AI for the people who run renewable energy portfolios. Our AI coworker, Ray, works inside Slack, Microsoft Teams and AMMP OS. Every morning before the team logs on, he has already checked yesterday's performance across every site, ranked what changed by its operational and commercial impact, and opened the tickets that need a human. Ask him whether a site met its availability guarantee and he answers with the data and the contract clause behind it. People stay in control of the decision; Ray does the digging. AI is only as good as the data under it, and that's where we started. AMMP OS connects 30+ inverter, battery and meter brands into one structured, permission-aware view of a portfolio (solar, storage, hybrid mini-grids, wind and diesel), covering 10,000+ sites in 35+ countries. On top sit monitoring, alerting, ticketing, investor reporting, billing-grade savings calculations, a Data API and an MCP server that gives any AI assistant portfolio context. Customers include Daystar Power, SolarSaver and Broadreach. We're ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Our mission: make clean, reliable, decentralised energy work for households and businesses everywhere, and give the companies building it the tools to scale with the team they already have.
