Why 70% of DIY Projects Fail

These mistakes cost companies millions annually - and are completely avoidable.

Project Delays

Endless Delays

Integration always takes longer than planned. Unforeseen issues pile up. The team is frustrated.

Avg. +6 month delay for DIY
Cost Explosion

Cost Explosion

Rework, external consultants, emergency support - hidden costs often exceed the original budget.

Case Study: Mid-Size Machine Manufacturer

After a failed 8-month DIY attempt, we took over the project. Go-live in 10 weeks. Result: 2.4 MW BESS + 1.8 MWp PV integrated with SAP S/4HANA, peak loads reduced by 67%, annual savings €340,000. The customer: "If we had done this from the start, we would have been profitable a year earlier."

❓ Implementation FAQ

How long does a typical implementation take? +
Most projects are completed in 8-12 weeks. Simple EMS installations can be finished in 4-6 weeks, complex multi-site projects with BESS and PV sometimes require 16 weeks. For comparison: DIY approaches typically take 6-18 months - often longer when unforeseen integration issues arise.
What happens if the project takes longer than planned? +
With us, this practically never happens - in 200+ projects, we had a 97% on-time rate. Should delays occur that are caused by us, we bear the additional costs. This is part of our fixed-price guarantee. Delays caused by the customer (e.g., missing permits) are transparently communicated and adjusted.
Which manufacturers are supported? +
We are certified for all major BESS manufacturers (Tesla, BYD, CATL, Samsung SDI, LG Energy, Huawei, Sungrow), inverters (SMA, Fronius, Huawei, GoodWe, Growatt), and EMS/SCADA systems (Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Honeywell). If your preferred manufacturer is missing, we'll find a solution.
Can you take over a failed DIY project? +
Yes, this is one of our most common assignments. We start with a detailed as-is assessment: What works? What doesn't? What can be reused? Experience shows that 40-60% of existing work can be retained. The rest is rebuilt according to our proven process. Typical rescue projects are completed in 6-10 weeks.
What does an implementation cost? +
Costs vary depending on project scope. A pure EMS implementation starts from €15,000, BESS projects (500 kWh - 5 MWh) typically range from €50,000-150,000 for implementation services (hardware separate). Important: Our fixed-price guarantee means you know exactly what you pay - no hidden costs.
How does post go-live support work? +
After handover, the support phase begins. Standard: 24/7 monitoring by our NOC, response time < 4h for critical issues, monthly performance reports. Premium: Response time < 15 min, proactive optimization, dedicated account manager. Most customers choose a support package that matches their requirements - from self-service to fully managed.
