API2API TECHNICAL SPOTLIGHT
Dockerized Proxy API for different asset classes & Interoperability
Implement a modular, plugin-based proxy service on your infrastructure. Streamline advanced integration scenarios for inverters, batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers—without constantly refactoring for each vendor’s evolving API specs.
Technical Pains in Multi-OEM Integration
Companies that aggregate multiple asset classes struggle to maintain consistent device interoperability. Frequent API changes, multiple vendor docs, and continuous testing cycles bog down engineering teams.
API Version Volatility
• Vendors like SMA, SolarEdge, or Fronius may release new endpoints unexpectedly
• Breaking changes force rework, extensive regression testing
• Hard to maintain backward compatibility for older device firmware
Complex Asset Classes
• Multiple protocols (REST, WebSocket, Modbus, MQTT) for inverters, batteries, EV chargers
• Each device has unique data schemas and authentication
• Integration fatigue slows time-to-market
High Maintenance Overhead
• Error handling and fallback logic must be custom-coded per OEM
• API credentials frequently expire or change
• Frequent patching disrupts dev cycles for core features
Resource Drain on Dev Teams
• Monitoring OEM docs daily
• Re-implementing identical patterns with slight differences
• Less bandwidth for domain-specific optimizations and unique IP
KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES
What Our API2API Proxy Delivers
A containerized, plugin-based layer that abstracts away OEM-specific calls and unifies them under one stable interface—so your main platform never needs a full rewrite.
Plugin Architecture
• Separate plugin for each OEM or asset class
• Swap or update a plugin without redeploying the entire platform
• Reduced risk of system-wide downtime
Dynamic Configuration & Versioning
• Environment variables for API endpoints, credentials, rate limits
• Built-in version handling to juggle multiple vendor API versions
• Clear deprecation mechanism for old endpoints
Security & Resilience
• OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication
• TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Retry/fallback logic and circuit breakers for faulty OEM endpoints
Performance Tuning
• Caching of high-traffic requests (e.g., current power output)
• Load balancing across instances for high availability
• Detailed logging for real-time analytics and root-cause diagnostics
