Process for setting up a Climkit site

Jean-Nicolas Turlier Updated by Jean-Nicolas Turlier

Request a quote

Once the needs have been defined, send a request for a quote to info@climkit.io.

In order to avoid additional costs later on, it is important to identify all the necessary elements upstream according to the needs of the Site and the Owner, notably:

  • the management solutions to be implemented,
  • the number and type of electricity meters,
  • the planned Internet connection method.

In case of doubt about the configuration to be adopted or compatibility with an existing Site, an upstream exchange with Climkit allows for the validation of the planned connection diagram for the Site and avoids subsequent adjustments.

Structure of the Climkit quote

The quote for a new Climkit Site is divided by category and product type:

Categories
  • Gateway and connectivity
  • Electricity management
  • Optimization and Storage management
  • Electric vehicle charging station management
  • Thermal energy and water management
  • Collective laundries management
  • Electric bike charging management
Product types
  • Technical equipment: devices to be installed on Site, such as the Climkit Gateway, meters, or charging stations.
  • Software functionalities: functions activated on the Gateway and billed only according to the ordered Solutions.
  • Supply and commissioning: services related to equipment preparation, technical coordination during installation, and commissioning.

It is recommended to consult the principle diagrams for each planned Solution to define the exact needs before validating the quote.

Place an order

It is possible to place an order directly from the Platform after creating a new Site. Even in this case, a confirmation request is sent to the requester before the equipment is shipped.

See how to create a new Site here.
  1. Check the quote to ensure it matches the defined needs.
  2. Have the planned connection diagram for the Site validated by Climkit, if necessary.
  3. Validate the quote and specify the delivery address if it differs from the Billing address.

The Hardware is then delivered within 5 working days.

Add equipment to the platform

Upon receipt of the Hardware, it is recommended to create the Site on the Platform and add the equipment to it.

This preparation will facilitate commissioning by allowing for direct verification of communication between the equipment and the Platform after their installation on the Site.

Consult all equipment configuration instructions on the Climkit platform

Install equipment on site

  1. Install the equipment in accordance with what was planned during planning, following Climkit's instructions and manufacturers' prescriptions.
  2. Verify on the Platform that the equipment is communicating.
  3. Inform Climkit that the installation is complete to validate the Technical setup validation.
  4. Provide the Owner's contact details to Climkit for the Administrative setup.
Consult all on-site installation instructions

Responsibilities of the installer

The Installer or the person installing the equipment is responsible for the following:

  • Planning the installation based on the specific needs of the Owner by providing all necessary products and equipment
  • Setting up a functional Internet connection or installing a Climkit 4G Router with mandatory verification of the 4G signal quality if applicable
  • Creating the Site and adding the equipment to the Platform
  • Installing and configuring equipment in accordance with manufacturers' prescriptions and Climkit's instructions.
  • Commissioning equipment in accordance with Climkit's prescriptions
  • Labeling and assignment of meters and other equipment on the Platform to avoid any errors when producing expense statements and billing
  • Verifying communication between meters and equipment and the Platform
  • Notifying Climkit of commissioning to allow for verification and validation
  • Providing Climkit with the Owner's full contact details for the Administrative setup and the drafting of the Management contract

Climkit Support

Climkit is available throughout the project to answer technical questions, validate certain choices, or assist with commissioning if necessary. This progressive coordination secures the progress of the installation and limits adjustments at the end of the project.

Once the installation is complete and validated, Climkit handles the Administrative setup with the Owner, and then the Site enters the Operational phase.

Climkit is at your disposal for any questions or assistance from planning to project commissioning, by email at service@climkit.io or by phone during office hours at 021 588 15 19.
