First-pass take

Non-AI renewable energy hardware/software play with strong net cash (€7.1m) but chronic unprofitability (€0.9m loss FY24), negative EBITDA, and extreme customer concentration (87.8% from 3 customers). Transitional software revenue model is unproven; tariff uncertainty limits growth visibility.
