Siemens Ltd has announced a  revenue of INR 5,297 crore and net profit (profit after tax) of INR 534 crore in the fourth quarter of financial year 2023 ended September 30, 2023. 

The online solutions provider for commercial and industrial solar has raised INR 3.5 crore to fuel its product development initiatives and expand into new industrial belts across the country.

Powered by installation robots, on-site assembly line and digital twin software, the Terabase automated power plant construction system aims to boost productivity and cut construction costs.

Solar projects in India face many challenges due to the complex terrain of the solar plants, making the proper implementation of robotics and automation quite a challenge.

Robotics is evolving to ease the maintenance of solar power plants. From drones combined with thermal imaging to the robotic cleaning crew for large-scale solar PV plants, automation and robotics are constantly evolving for the cleaning and maintenance of PV plants.

Reliance Industries is set to buy 79.4% of US-based SenseHawk, which provides software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for process optimization, automation, and asset information management across the solar asset lifecycle. The startup has globally deployed its software at more than 600 sites.

ABB has adopted Industry 5.0 production processes at its smart power solutions factory in Bengaluru. With “cobots” working alongside humans, the factory’s productivity has improved by 40%, while energy productivity has gone up by more than 15%.

Advanced solar panels, inverters, batteries and plant monitoring technologies are revolutionizing the solar sector.

Librestream’s Onsight solution provides a fully-collaborative environment between remote experts and field technicians, helping to resolve issues at the solar plants quickly and remotely.

For developers to close the emerging gap as the market becomes more competitive – and, crucially, build projects that perform to investors’ expectations in the long term – they need to not only develop better understanding of the factors influencing project performance but also take steps to adopt advances made in other established solar markets worldwide in the use of solar data.
