With Quantum being phased out gradually after the merger of QOS and Univers, you may be looking for an alternative to QOS and its Univers equivalents, such as Bazefield.
Both Quantum and the AMMP OS Platform can monitor PV systems and system portfolios of all sizes. The following comparison, including a detailed feature list of Quantum and AMMP, is intended to help users make a decision if AMMP is the right replacement.
All three are headquartered in Europe. However, Quantum and Bazefield belong to Univers, headquartered in Singapore.
Bazefield focus on clients in the utility-scale, which makes them less ideal if you have a smaller portfolio. AMMP is independent, but has been able to raise substantial capital from well-known investors, and is focused on customers of all portfolio sizes, with many features being tailored towards C&I on rooftops and in emerging markets (in particular South Africa).
The following overview provides information about different features. All information is taken from the respective website, product data sheets and company information.
