R7 — A Living Testbed in the Heart of
Helsinki
A working site powered by renewable energy, where systems are measured as they run — generating clean, consistent operational data from nanosealed solar systems, improving signal quality for AI training and validation.
Ruosilantie 7, R7, is a functioning industrial site where energy production, storage, and usage take place continuously under real operating conditions, including seasonal variation and intermittency.
This is not a pilot. It is an active environment where energy production, storage, and thermal systems are deployed, used, and observed over time.
What is in place
-
Solar energy production — PV systems with Salus NanoSealer sealed surfaces to improve performance, extend lifetime, and ensure consistent, high-quality data
-
Battery and energy storage systems
-
Geothermal heating and cooling, including thermal management
-
On-site energy balancing and usage
-
Continuous measurement of system performance
All systems are installed and operating.
What happens at R7
-
Energy production, storage, and usage operate continuously under real conditions
-
Systems are observed across seasons, including variability and intermittency
-
Battery performance is evaluated over time under changing load and environmental conditions
-
Geothermal systems are used for both heating and cooling, including thermal management of energy systems
-
