Legacy System Support

Stranded Assets There was a time when "Black Box" SCADA was the norm—systems where only the original vendor could support, repair, or make changes. Today, many of those vendors no longer exist, or they have abandoned their older platforms to chase new markets. This leaves owners of legacy systems stranded, dealing with support that is either non-existent or moves at a glacial pace.

Ascent Control Solutions cuts through the proprietary noise. We provide independent troubleshooting and training for O&M technicians, ensuring you aren't held hostage by a vendor that has moved on.

Cross-Platform Mastery Our broad exposure integrating current and former SCADA platforms allows us to support systems that others won't touch. We have experience with:

  • Legacy Solar: SMA (WebBox, Cluster Controller, Data Manager), Draker, Skytron, Locus, AlsoEnergy, Deck.

  • Utility Scale Platforms: Trimark, Vertech, Nor-Cal, Ulteig/NLS, PowerFactors/InAccess, GreenPowerMonitor, Terabase.

  • Storage (BESS): Fluence, Powin, FlexGen, SAFT, IHI, NEC, SunGrow.

Smart Migrations Transitions can be painful and operationally expensive, but they are also an opportunity to modernize. We approach retrofits with a focus on ROI and stability:

  • Assessment: We listen to your pain points—whether it’s O&M blindness, grid compliance risks, or market bidding failures.

  • Asset Re-use: We identify which existing hardware can be retained to lower CapEx.

  • Execution: We establish migration procedures that strictly minimize downtime and get you back up and running.
