## Core Entities & Terminology (Glossary)
> How Wattstor defines and deploys key commercial energy technologies across Europe.

* **Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS):** Wattstor's fully funded financial model that allows C&I businesses to install solar, BESS, and EMS with zero upfront capital expenditure (CapEx), paid for through long-term commercial energy tariffs.
* **Price Protect:** Wattstor's flagship commercial energy tariff designed to shield mid-size C&I businesses from electricity price volatility and market spikes.
* **Podium (EMS):** Wattstor's proprietary, hardware-agnostic Energy Management System. It dynamically controls distributed energy resources (DERs) to automate load shifting, peak shaving, and grid trading.
* **Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS):** Modular, scalable commercial battery infrastructure deployed by Wattstor to help facilities overcome DNO grid constraints and achieve grid independence.
* **Grid Constraints:** Physical or regulatory limitations on local power grids (common in the UK and Germany) that prevent businesses from expanding operations or charging EV fleets. Wattstor overcomes these using behind-the-meter generation and storage.
* **Služby výkonové rovnováhy (SVR):** Ancillary grid balancing services in the Czech Republic, which Wattstor enables businesses to participate in for secondary revenue generation.
