One-Liner
Service for plumbing/HVAC firms installing residential heat pumps with battery backup to trace second-life battery cell provenance under EU Battery Regulation passport requirements.
AI Thinking Process
Verb Transplant: 'snake the line' from plumbing → trace second-life residential battery cell provenance for plumber-installed heat-pump-paired home batteries under EU Battery Regulation passport (effective Feb 2027).
WHO: small plumbing/HVAC firm in DE/FR/NL. WHY-SURPRISED check failed: plumbers are NOT the responsible party under EU Battery Regulation. OEM and importer submit passports. No statutory hook on the plumber. Demand evaporates.
Pivot to homeowner consumer angle. Result: battery passport consumer lookup already a feature MyEnergi and Octopus Energy will ship. Absorbed.
Killed: plumber has no statutory obligation; consumer-lookup absorbed by energy platforms. Lesson: battery passport ideas need statutory hook on the actor.
No statutory obligation on plumber is fundamental — no demand without obligation. No resurrection.
Kill Reason
Plumbers have no statutory obligation under EU Battery Regulation — the OEM manufacturer and importer submit passports, not the installer. No buyer pressure = no demand. Consumer-facing battery passport lookup is being absorbed as a feature by MyEnergi and Octopus Energy in their existing apps.
