AI-generated concept visualization

A defined starting market.
A wider outdoor opportunity.

12,307 campsite establishments across the three launch countries. Build the prospect database, then qualify size, energy demand and investment readiness.

200-site year-3 goal as a share of this broad inventory

France: 3,955 campsites rated 3–5★ in mainland France at January 2026, before size and energy qualification. This is a useful starting segment.

Adjacent facilities add prospecting opportunities: 799 French holiday villages / family holiday homes (mainland, 2026) and 1,782 Dutch holiday-house parks (2025). These sit outside the campsite totals.

EU countries: Eurostat 2025, NACE I553, establishments, all ratings. UK: 2023 UKCCA industry database of holiday parks and campsites, reported in 2024; includes very small sites. The six-country total combines different scopes and years and is an indicative prospecting footprint. It is not the eligible 3–5★ / S–M–L market or a count of all outdoor leisure facilities. Do not add broader short-stay accommodation categories or duplicate parks.

Five parts.
One commercial platform.

ECOGRID connects the full journey, from the first campaign response to electricity dispatch on the site.

1
CampaignBuilder + qualification wizard

Country-specific campaigns reach outdoor facilities and campsites. Owners complete site data, energy bills, roof and parking areas, investment timing and decision authority. Completion earns a technical review. The answers determine whether the site qualifies.

Output: a complete, scored opportunity. Incomplete responses enter automated follow-up rather than consuming engineering time.

2
Grant team + funding back office

A dedicated team screens national, regional and EU routes, prepares applications, tracks evidence, deadlines and reimbursements, and supports eco-label certification. Each scheme carries its own eligibility and funding limits.

Output: a traceable application dossier. Grant awards remain outside the base forecast.

3
Engineering + installation estimate

Wizard data produces preliminary PV sizing, panel count, storage needs and a bill of materials. The carport partner’s rate per square metre prices the structure. An engineering review and supplier quotes convert the estimate into a binding offer.

Output: scope, quantities, delivered cost and customer price.

4
Supplier + contractor portals

Approved suppliers maintain quotes, stock and lead times. Contractors share skills, regional coverage, crew capacity and installation slots. Back-office teams allocate work, monitor delivery and switch to qualified alternatives when shortages arise.

Output: confirmed procurement and installation capacity before customer commitments.

5
Eco Grid Pilot

The planned energy control software connects to supported inverters, batteries and meters. It schedules self-consumption and storage, allocates energy to site loads and manages permitted export. Safe local controls and approved device capabilities govern every command.

Output: monitored electricity flows, lower bills and recurring software service.

Each installation adds a paying software customer and a site that ECOGRID can support over time.

Product scope and operating model proposed for the launch. This presentation does not imply that these software modules are already deployed.

Nine facility profiles.
One repeatable offer.

Choose a size and star rating. Size determines scale. Equipment and seasonal usage determine the energy opportunity.

Documented size bands. Representative sites use 100, 250 and 500 pitches. Star-specific loads are modelling assumptions, anchored to the documented energy ranges.

The tariff changes savings, not generation. The grant slider changes client payback only. Base scenario: 0% grant.

Change carport area to test the structure cost. The default allocates 20% of panel area to carports. Area changes structure cost only. Added capacity needs a separate engineering design.

ECOGRID delivery cost

Planning rates: €900/kWp PV package, €300/kWh installed battery, €180/m² carport structure. PV includes modules, inverters, standard mounting, electrical works and commissioning. Carport rate excludes PV, preventing double counting. Engineering allowance varies by size. These are budget hypotheses, not partner quotations.

The final BOM also needs mounting and foundations, cable lengths and sections, protection, metering, controls, access works and any grid upgrades. Abnormal civil works, major grid reinforcement and EV chargers require separate quotes. Roof capacity and layout constrain panel count.

A dedicated team for
funding and eco-labels.

Screen every site for suitable support. Keep applications, certification evidence and reimbursement tasks in the back office.

One control layer across the site

Supported inverter and battery integrations feed a common energy view. Metered loads guide dispatch to accommodation, pools, hot water and EV charging where controllable.

Operator control remains central

Comfort constraints, battery limits and fail-safe local settings govern automation. Available hardware APIs and site permissions determine the control scope.

Recurring service after installation

Software, monitoring and annual maintenance retain the customer relationship. Flexibility markets and aggregation remain future upside.

Illustrative dispatch demonstration, not live telemetry or a battery-sizing simulation. Figures balance instantaneous kW at five points in the day. Battery state of charge, reserve limits and inverter dispatch need validation. Export and flexibility income are excluded from the forecast.

Direct sales lead.
Financing expands access.

Two routes use the same platform. The €700k raise funds the operating company. Financed plants require separate asset capital.

Resort pays for installation

ECOGRID earns project margin, then software and maintenance revenue. The resort owns the installation and keeps energy savings.

Target project gross margin35%
Annual software + maintenance
Client net savings / year

Main route in the acquisition and revenue forecast.

Asset partner finances the plant

€0 initial plant CAPEX for resort
Proposed 60% asset owner / 40% resort savings share

A separate SPV or asset partner funds the installation. The operator pays the software fee. The asset owner carries maintenance, debt and equipment risk.

Resort savings after software
Asset cash before debt + reserves
Unlevered simple asset payback

Financed projects enter only after term and return validation. The reference Medium site needs 16.4 years before debt and replacement reserves.

The comparison follows the selected facility and tariff. The hypothetical grant affects the direct-sale client only. Financed partner capital covers the quoted installation price. Software fees belong to ECOGRID, outside asset-owner cash. Asset payback assumes no aid and excludes debt service, tax, replacement reserves and degradation. A positive annual cash contribution does not prove a financeable return. Financed projects, asset borrowing and savings-share income are excluded from the operating-company forecast.

Aggressive growth.
Explicit delivery assumptions.

20, 60 and 120 new installations build a 200-site recurring service portfolio over the first three commercial years.

sites connected at end of year 3
annual software + maintenance run rate
facility net savings / year at full run rate

New proposal, not signed pipeline. Target accelerates the July plan’s 15 / 40 / 80 installations. All forecast sites use direct sales. Service revenue starts on commissioning, with half a year for each new cohort and no churn. 35% works gross margin and 65% service gross margin are targets. Supplier overruns hold signed customer prices fixed. EBITDA excludes software-development CAPEX, depreciation, financing and tax. Year-3 service run rate includes maintenance and must not be presented as software-only ARR.

Completed wizard.
Qualified site. Installed customer.

A completed application is a signal of interest. Technical fit and purchasing authority determine whether it advances.

Year-1 acquisition targets

Build a database of up to 12,000 unique prospect records against the 12,307-site launch-country inventory. This includes all ratings and sizes. Filter to eligible facilities before outreach; add separately qualified holiday resorts without duplicates. Database completeness and reachable decision-makers remain to be tested.

Delivery capacity grows with demand

Installation crews, year 1 / 2 / 32 / 6 / 12
Commissioned sites / crew / year10 assumed
Sales + marketing CAC, year 1€9,000
Annual sales + marketing spend€180k / €360k / €600k

Approved alternatives for critical equipment and two qualified contractor options per launch region reduce dependence on one supplier or crew.

Winter installation planning supports the summer trading season. Belgium, Netherlands and UK open after launch-market delivery and collections prove repeatable.

Target conversion: 200 completed wizards, 40 audited opportunities and 20 signed and commissioned sites in year 1. This assumes 10% completion-to-installation conversion, no signed-to-commissioned slippage within the year, and capacity secured in advance. Source outreach reach and acquisition conversion are unvalidated. Financed projects do not count toward these targets.

Round 1: €700k to test the market

€700k

Test campaign demand, qualify sites and commission the first projects. Collected project margins can fund further operations.

Limit initial capital exposure through staged spending, direct sales, customer deposits and approved delivery partners. Measure conversion, realised margin and cash collection before expansion.

Cash test: 40% customer deposit, four concurrent average projects and €100k working-capital allocation. Supplier prepayment changes the bridge need. Later receipts and payment timing still require a monthly cash plan.

Software platform and integrations€250,000
Launch hires, including grant capability€180,000
Campaigns and commercial launch€120,000
Working capital€100,000
Contingency reserve€50,000
Total proposed equity raise€700,000

The €300k launch-team and campaign allocation represents about six months of the €590k annual year-1 OPEX assumption. Subsequent spending relies on collected project margin. Funding depends on disciplined deposits and supplier terms. Equipment ownership for financed sites needs separate SPV funding.

Proposed commercial payment schedule: 40% on order, 50% before delivery and 10% at acceptance, subject to negotiated contracts. Funding allocations are not expense lines in addition to the P&L. €250k software CAPEX is separate from recurring OPEX. Equity valuation, investment instrument and investor rights remain open.

A few installations can
support the launch economics.

At the proposed mix and 35% project margin, an average installation contributes approximately €214k after delivery costs. The first projects can make the business support its own expansion.

Average quoted sale held at €612.5k. Excludes recurring services.
4

projects exceed €700k in gross contribution

This compares project gross contribution with launch capital before software development and operating expenses.

8

projects exceed €700k after launch costs

Deducts €250k software development and the full €590k year-1 operating budget once. Assumes the same average mix and price.

Controlled exposure, with a measurable route to capital coverage.

Conditional model, not signed business or a commitment to repay investors. Surplus excludes tax, financing, working-capital changes, collection delays and additional capital expenditure. Gross contribution is not cash received. Deposits, validated costs and delivery timing remain essential. No grants, asset ownership or export revenue underpin this calculation.

Round 2 follows the evidence.

Size the next raise after the campaigns have run long enough to observe acquisition, delivery and collection cycles. Use the results to decide where and how fast to expand.

01

Which countries and facilities convert?

Track unique decision-makers reached, wizard starts and completions, audited sites, signed contracts and paid deposits by country, size and rating.

02

What is the realised economic return?

Compare acquisition cost with gross margin on commissioned projects. Measure installation time, cash collected, service attach rate and operating savings.

03

How much capital does the proven pipeline need?

Build the monthly cash plan from signed backlog, supplier terms and crew capacity. Stage hiring and country launches to the results.

Next-round capital = expansion spend + peak cash gap + reserve − available cash

Proposed readiness evidence: a full campaign-to-collection cohort; at least four commissioned and collected projects to test gross contribution coverage; repeatable margins and measured savings; confirmed delivery partners. Four projects validate the initial economics, not market-wide conversion statistically. Review after the first full cycle and repeat by segment. The second-round amount and valuation remain open. Owned energy assets require separate financing.

Sources, assumptions and package boundaries

Documented inputs

Size bands and 95 / 445 / 1,195 MWh representative loads: June 12 segmentation notes and June business plan. Solar yield planning reference: 1,400 kWh/kWp/year for Southern Europe. Northern markets require local yield and tariff models.

35% target project margin: July 2026 investor package. €250k software development and roughly €590k year-1 OPEX: June interview assumptions. Historical plans carry different software and maintenance fees and different capital-intensive packages.

Launch targets, €700k ask and direct-sales priority: current founder brief. The €700k request supersedes the earlier €2–3m seed proposal for this teaser.

New scenario hypotheses

Annual demand by S/M/L for 3★: 75 / 330 / 900 MWh. For 4★: 95 / 445 / 1,195. For 5★: 130 / 600 / 1,500. Star rating does not itself measure electricity use. The wizard replaces these assumptions with site evidence.

55% bill offset, 85% PV self-use, 550 W modules, 2.6 m² module footprint. Battery capacity: 0 for S, 0.6 kWh/kWp for M/L. Carport structure: 20% of module footprint. Engineering: €8k / €15k / €25k. 10% cost contingency.

Annual software: €2.5k / €4k / €5k. Maintenance: €2k / €4k / €8k. Modelled service gross margin 65%. Annual OPEX €590k / €1.1m / €1.8m. These prices, costs, conversion rates and staffing ratios require validation.

This lighter package differs from June’s full microgrid estimates: S €0.20–0.35m, M €0.9–1.2m, L €2.1–2.7m with much larger batteries and EV equipment. Those full packages cannot be represented by the lighter delivery costs. Simple payback is not IRR and excludes financing, tax, degradation, replacement CAPEX and residual value. Gross annual energy savings exclude any EV sales, peak-shaving value, export income or grants, avoiding double counting.
