Senec manufactures and sells residential battery storage systems paired with cloud-connected energy management software. The tech stack reveals a shift toward real-time data infrastructure: they're actively adopting Kafka, MQTT, InfluxDB, and Elasticsearch alongside Kubernetes, while relying heavily on Azure for compute and messaging. The project list—data engineering platform, IoT integration, liquidity forecasting, network automation—signals investment in operational visibility and supply-chain resilience, likely driven by the pain-point cluster around scalability, compliance (ISO 27001), and multi-cloud network stability.
