IoT

In a world where electricity defines sovereignty, allowing foreign-made devices to sit at the core of India’s solar infrastructure is nothing short of national negligence. In today’s age, power is not just electricity—it is sovereignty. We cannot afford blackout-level vulnerabilities induced by foreign-made solar inverter hardware with security loopholes.

Digital adoption across the renewable energy value chain reveals a stark imbalance. Operations and maintenance (O&M) has embraced digitalization most enthusiastically, with SCADA systems and IoT-enabled devices revolutionizing efficiency through real-time monitoring and resource optimization. However, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) processes remain surprisingly under-digitized despite their critical importance.

Routine inspections, monitoring systems, and predictive maintenance techniques play a vital role in optimizing energy output and ensuring the success and longevity of solar and wind power projects.

Canada-based microinverter company SPARQ Systems has entered into a partnership agreement with JioThings, a fully owned subsidiary of Jio Platforms Ltd. of Reliance Industries, to supply the Indian conglomerate with PV microinverters.

Sleepwalkers has introduced an automated robotic device for solar panel cleaning that doesn’t require an additional rail system as it can move on the aluminum frame of the panels.

The Swiss PV diagnostics and predictive solutions provider said it would use the amount to scale its software for solar performance management.

With the latest generation of household devices increasingly connected and internet-of-things (IoT)-enabled, dye-sensitized solar cells can finally realize their latent promise and help reduce the carbon footprint of billions of manufactured goods.

The global renewables investor has selected Amazon Web Service as a preferred cloud provider to gain business insights, improve workplace safety, and automate hydroelectric, wind, and solar operations. In return, it has agreed to provide clean power for Amazon’s operations in Europe, North America, and India.

Mindtree’s digital solution enables remote monitoring and control of all services at Larsen & Toubro’s green hydrogen plant in Gujarat. It drives the effective utilization of resources such as solar and battery energy storage systems.

Adani has partnered with Israel Innovation Authority to leverage the broad Israeli technology ecosystem for its diverse businesses in renewable energy, logistics, and more. The partnership provides Israeli companies a unique opportunity to codevelop, pilot, and scale up innovative technologies by utilizing Adani’s extensive industrial asset base.
