Who we are

Software near the grid is judged on what it cannot break

In energy, the question is rarely whether a feature is possible. It is whether the thing you are connecting to can be touched at all, who signs off, and what happens to operations if the integration misbehaves at the wrong moment.

FusionHit builds energy and utility software with senior engineers across Latin America who have worked with meter and telemetry data, device protocols and read-only integrations into systems nobody wants to disturb. They work US Central and Eastern hours, so a change window, an interconnection deadline or an incident is handled inside your day.

WHAT WE BUILD

Energy systems we build

The systems our clients bring us most often, each one built around the data, the devices and the operating constraints behind them.

EV charging platforms

Charge point management, sessions, pricing and roaming, plus the operational view for when a site goes offline.

DER and storage management

Solar, storage and flexible load monitored and dispatched, with the safety and interconnection rules respected.

Metering data and meter to cash

Interval data from the head end through validation and estimation to the bill, at the volume AMI actually produces.

Demand response and flexibility

Programs, enrollment, events and settlement for the loads you can actually move.

Field and asset operations

Work orders, inspections and asset history for crews who are outdoors, often without a signal.

Operational data integration

Read-only paths out of SCADA, historians and metering systems into the analytics and applications above them.

Forecasting and analytics

Load, generation and price forecasting, plus the reporting your operations and commercial teams argue about.

Legacy modernization

Moving a utility or energy system off an unsupported stack, with history intact and operations undisturbed.

WHO WE BUILD FOR

The energy companies we build software for

Regulated utilities, developers and technology companies answer to different people. That changes what gets built.

Investor-owned utilities

Work around operational systems, under a regulator and an audit calendar.

Municipal utilities and co-ops

Smaller teams carrying the same obligations, usually with older systems and no spare capacity.

EV charging providers

Networks that have to stay up and settle correctly across sites you do not physically control.

Renewable developers and IPPs

Monitoring and performance across a portfolio, where availability is revenue.

Retail energy providers

Billing, enrollment and customer systems in a market with thin margins.

Energy technology companies

Product companies that need senior engineering capacity on a roadmap their customers depend on.

OPERATIONS

What connecting to grid and field systems actually involves

Every vendor says they integrate with existing infrastructure. In this industry the question is what you are allowed to touch, and that is what decides the timeline.

What it covers
What it takes
Operational systems and SCADA

Getting operational data out without becoming a risk to operations.

A read-only path agreed with your operations team, usually through a historian or a data diode style boundary rather than a direct connection, and a design your security people approve before anything is installed.

Meter data at AMI volume

Interval reads from the head end through validation, estimation and editing to billing.

A pipeline sized for the real read volume, handling of late and missing reads as normal cases, and an audit trail that shows how an estimated value was produced.

Device protocols in the field

Chargers, inverters, controllers and loggers that speak their own languages.

OCPP for charging, Modbus and OPC UA for equipment, MQTT for telemetry from the edge, and buffering so a lost connection costs a delay rather than a gap in the record.

DER interconnection and control

Solar, storage and flexible load that has to behave the way the interconnection agreement says.

Following the profiles your utility requires, testing against them, and keeping evidence of the behaviour because someone will eventually ask for it.

The OT and IT boundary

Keeping operational networks separated from everything above them.

Traffic in one direction wherever possible, a defined segment for the integration, and change windows planned with operations instead of announced to them.

Supply chain expectations

Your own obligations about vendors who touch systems near the grid.

Named engineers under your access policy, work inside your cloud accounts, change records available for audit, and access removed the same day someone rolls off.

TIMELINE AND COST

What it takes to build, by system

Vendors answer this with 'it depends'. Here is what it depends on, by the kind of system, so you arrive at the first call knowing what to expect.

Typical timeline to first release
What drives the cost
Device or telemetry integration

2-4 months

Number of device types and protocols, quality of vendor documentation, and whether an edge component is needed.

EV charging platform

5-9 months

Site and connector count, pricing and roaming, payment handling, and the operational tooling behind it.

DER or storage monitoring

4-7 months

Asset types, control requirements, interconnection rules to follow, and the alerting operations needs.

Meter data pipeline

4-8 months

Read volume, head end systems, validation and estimation rules, and what billing expects downstream.

Field and asset operations

4-6 months

Offline behaviour, asset hierarchy, integrations with work and asset systems, and crew rollout.

Legacy modernization

6-12 months

Feature parity, data and history migration, and running both systems in parallel through a change window.

FAQ

FAQs about our energy software development services

01

How much does energy software development cost?

It depends on the system. A device integration is a different project from a meter data pipeline. The table on this page gives the ranges we see by system type, and after discovery you get a written scope with the cost by milestone. Senior LATAM rates typically run 30-50% below equivalent US rates.
02

How long does energy software development take?

Typically 2-4 months for a device or telemetry integration, 4-8 months for a meter data pipeline, 5-9 months for an EV charging platform and 6-12 months for a legacy modernization.
03

Will you connect directly to our operational systems?

Only where you want us to, and by default the answer is no. Operational data is taken through a read-only path, usually via a historian or an equivalent boundary, designed with your operations and security teams before anything is built.
04

Which device protocols do you work with?

OCPP for charging infrastructure, Modbus and OPC UA for equipment, and MQTT for telemetry from the edge, with local buffering so a lost connection becomes a delay rather than a gap in the record.
05

Can you handle meter data at our volume?

Yes. The design question is not the total volume but how late, missing and corrected reads are handled, and whether the audit trail can show how an estimated value was produced. Both are part of acceptance.
06

How do you handle our vendor and supply chain requirements?

Named engineers under your access policy, work inside your cloud accounts and repositories, change records available for audit, and access removed the same day someone leaves the team. We answer your security questionnaires as part of the engagement.
07

Can you build software for EV charging networks?

Yes. Charge point management, sessions, pricing, roaming and the operational tooling for when a site drops offline, which is usually the part that gets underestimated.
08

Do you deploy without disturbing operations?

Changes go into planned windows agreed with your operations team, with a tested way back. Nothing ships into an operational path because a sprint ended.
09

Who owns the code and the intellectual property?

You do. The work lives in repositories and cloud accounts under your organization, and the contract assigns all intellectual property to you from the first commit.
10

Do we hire your engineers or do you deliver the project?

Either. You can add senior engineers to your own team, have a dedicated team own the workstream with a lead on our side, or hand us a defined scope for a fixed price and date. The three models are linked above.
