Data protection and IT security
| Privacy Policy Overview | Eniris' energy management system (SmartgridOne) is solidly positioned in terms of IT security and data protection. It meets the requirements of the GDPR and relies on encrypted data transmission and secure storage on European servers. Access to central control functions is via password-protected portals with role-based authorization management, which clearly separates energy suppliers, installers, and end customers. Local EMS units are protected by hardware locks and automatic updates, while the cloud infrastructure does not allow open ports for incoming connections. The data protection guidelines guarantee that the data remains in the possession of the end customer and is not passed on to third parties outside the distribution chain. Overall, the system is designed to ensure both technical security and organizational control. |
| Data storage | Cloud - in Europe, outside of Switzerland |
| Certification of Cloud solution | Not applicable (locally at the customer's site) |
Costs
These are rough estimates. An offer must be requested for exact cost information.
The following use case was assumed for the cost estimate:
1 single-party building with the following existing components (excluding commercial use):
- Metering units: 1 electricity meter
- 1 photovoltaic system (with 1 inverter) with battery storage
- 1 heat pump (SG-Ready)
- 1 hot water boiler (relay control)
- 1 fully equipped charging station (AC charging)
These are rough estimates. An offer must be requested for exact cost information.
The following use case was assumed for the cost estimate:
1 multi-unit building with the following existing components (excluding commercial premises):
- Metering units: 20 electricity meters
- 1 photovoltaic system (with 1 inverter) with battery storage
- 1 heat pump (SG-Ready)
- 1 hot water boiler (relay control)
- 20 parking spaces, 5 of which are fully equipped with charging stations (AC charging)

| Comment | For systems with a total capacity of less than 30 kW (PV + inverter + heat pump + battery, etc., excluding junction box): Software license costs CHF 46.50 per year or CHF 232 one-time (lifetime) |
| One-time hardware costs | CHF 495 |
| One-time software costs | CHF 232 If PVA is below 30 kWp: One-time software license fee |
| Total of one-time costs | CHF 687 Without installation |
| Installation cost | external installation |
| Project management costs | Not stated |
| Annual costs | Not stated |
| Multi-unit building | |
|---|---|
| Comment | The calculation for use case B can only be made on the basis of the specific performance data (kW/kWh) of the individual components. Without this information, it is not possible to provide a reliable cost estimate. |
| One-time hardware costs | CHF 9,720 |
| One-time software costs | Not stated |
| Total of one-time costs | Not stated |
| Installation cost | external installation |
| Project management costs | Not stated |
| Annual costs | Not stated |
| Deviation/discounts for portfolio with 100 buildings (per building) | A reliable estimate of the total costs is not currently possible, as key performance data (e.g., kW/kWh of the PV system, battery, heat pump, and charging infrastructure) is missing. The one-time costs are highly dependent on the specific design of the components and can only be calculated once this information is available. |
