Every test record, linked to the asset it proves.
Holdpoint is the verification gate for solar, wind and battery projects. It links each test record to the asset it proves and shows which assets are cleared and which are blocked, with the reason.

The problem
Every energization depends on thousands of test records being complete.
A solar, wind or battery project holds thousands to tens of thousands of test records across electrical, protection, control, mechanical and fire systems. All of them must be complete before each energization. The gaps tend to surface late, in the final checks before energization.
Holdpoint does not manage AEMO hold points. It is the evidence underneath them: every test record and sign-off, linked to the asset it covers.

Plant is capped at each hold point until testing and reporting are signed off by the network service provider and AEMO.

What Holdpoint does
One rule for every asset. A reason for every block.
- 01
Evidence present
The required test records are linked to the asset.
- 02
No open blocker
No open NCR or Category A punch item is raised against it.
- 03
Sign-offs in order
Its check sheets are signed in the required sequence.
All three met: the asset shows as cleared. Any one missing: it shows as blocked, with the reason. Holdpoint reports the result. A qualified person decides what happens next.
Linked to the asset it proves
Each test record and inspection report is filed against the inverter, transformer, battery enclosure, pump, cable or fire panel it covers. One record can cover many assets, and each asset still shows its own evidence.
Signed on the device
Field records are signed on the device that captures them and written to an append-only record. Each result keeps its author, its time and its history. The field app is in early access and works offline.
Evidence stays in your document system
Evidence files stay where your project already keeps them. Holdpoint links to them and does not take them over.

Solar, wind and battery storage
Every trade on the project, not only electrical.
Electrical, protection, control, mechanical and fire systems are checked against the same rule. Examples of assets on each project type:
Solar farms
- Inverters
- Transformers and switchgear
- DC and AC cabling
- Protection relays
- Plant control and SCADA
Wind farms
- Turbine transformers
- Collector cabling and switchgear
- Protection relays
- Control and SCADA systems
- Substation plant
Battery storage
- Battery enclosures
- Power conversion systems
- Transformers and switchgear
- Cooling systems and pumps
- Fire detection and suppression panels
Who it's for
Built for the teams who deliver and own the plant.
EPC and balance-of-plant electrical contractors
Link test records to the assets they prove as the work is completed, and see which assets are cleared and which are blocked before the final checks.
Owners and developers
See which assets have verified evidence and which are blocked, package by package, across the whole project.
BESS integrators
Battery enclosures, power conversion, cooling and fire systems, each asset with its own evidence.
