Lupa Live

The renewables platform for the real estate sector

Lupa tracks each site's generation and return against its target in real time, allowing underperformance to be identified and corrected before it affects the value of the investment.

01 / Why it matters

Renewable investments in the real estate sector are consistently mismanaged and underutilised

Rooftop solar and battery storage projects receive sign-off based on their forecast financial return. Once built, the actual returns are rarely verified, leaving projects at risk of financial underperformance.

A shortfall in generation or an unplanned repair can reduce a project's return drastically without ever being reported.

Lupa Live calculates each site's live internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV) and payback period in real time, based on the actual performance of the system, allowing you to hold suppliers to account.

03 / What it covers

Protect value and drive performance

  • Actual against forecast

    Income, savings and costs against the forecast each project was signed off against.

  • One portfolio view

    Aggregate the generation, financial performance and emissions savings of every solar and battery storage investment across the portfolio or fund.

  • Contractor performance

    Check each site's performance ratio against that agreed in the contract and hold installers to account.

  • Alerts

    Automated alerts when a site experiences an issue, be that a drop-off in performance, connectivity issues or an overdue electrical inspection.

  • Smarter O&M

    Determine maintenance plans based on actual performance, rather than pre-agreed schedules.

  • O&M log

    Visits, repairs and their costs logged and incorporated into the financial appraisal of the project.

  • Documents checklist

    Ensure all projects have a comprehensive, up-to-date information pack, ready for an asset sale or refinancing, insurers, fire safety reviews and warranty claims.

  • Battery analysis

    Seamlessly move a site across to Lupa's modelling platform to perform a detailed battery storage analysis.

05 / Questions

Before you start

What does onboarding include?

Connecting each monitoring account, loading the history the maker holds and any earlier daily totals you have, entering each site's target and contracts, and filing the documents you send.

Does Lupa need the login to our inverter accounts?

Read access to each monitoring account, usually through an API key or a user set up for the purpose. The details are stored encrypted, used only on Lupa's servers and never sent to a browser.

What happens at the end of the two months?

You decide whether to continue. If you stop, nothing is owed, and the readings for any date range can be downloaded first.

What is your policy on data security?

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Inverter and meter account credentials receive an extra layer of application-level encryption, are used only on the server and never reach the browser. Access is role-based and follows the principle of least privilege: each company sees only its own data, and each client sees only the sites it has been granted, with this separation enforced at both the database and application level. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for all administrative accounts. The software and its dependencies are automatically scanned for known vulnerabilities, and critical issues are fixed within 7 days.

Lupa maintains a documented incident response plan. Clients are notified of any breach affecting their data without undue delay, and no later than 48 hours after it is confirmed.

Lupa's information security management follows ISO 27001 requirements, and the company is working towards certification. Security policies are available on request.
