What is the core vision driving EnerMANโ€™s growth, and how has the company positioned itself in India and global markets?

EnerMAN started in 2019 with the vision to โ€œProvide innovative products to manage energy and decarbonize the worldโ€ with the goal of providing affordable SCADA to Solar PV plants owners, EPC and O&M service providers, with assurance of Zero data loss and 24/7 access to plantโ€™s live data from anywhere with IoT based web application and mobile application software.

We have built end-to-end products including Hardware, Firmware, Software and Mobile Apps with our inhouse team in Bengaluru using open-source software / platforms to bring down the cost.

We are proud to say that we have achieved our initial goals. These are key factors that helped us win the customer confidence and trust. We have automated Daily Generation Reports and Monthly Generation Reports, which eliminated manual data entry errors and tedious of manual data collection and entry efforts of technicians and engineers. We have analytics and reports features like Inverters performance ranking, Inverter and grid down time loss analysis โ€ฆ.etc, which helped customer to reduce the generation losses and improve the asset performance. We have been including customer needs and wants in our products continuously, which is helping us to meet customer expectations.

ETi-SOL automatically sends emails to developers on daily generation reports, monthly generation reports. ETi-SOL shares live data with customerโ€™s Finance and Accounting System automation of revenue and expenses management.

ETi-SOL shares energy forecast, and live performance data with QCA (Qualified Coordinating Agencies) and SLDC (State Load Dispatch Centres) for energy scheduling. ETi-SOL shares live data with SEDM Portal (Solar Energy Data Management) for PM-KUSUM projects which enables effective management of distributed solar system by automating the billing process with efficient implementation of financial support schemes.

Our products portfolio size crossed 3GW total capacity presence in 10 countries for over 700+ Solar PV utility plants & rooftops.

How do EnerMANโ€™s IoT-based AI/ML-driven SCADA systems improve monitoring, control, and performance for solar plants and rooftops?

EnerMAN IoT SCADA (ETi-SOL), a web application software runs on cloud platform with CMS / RMS capabilities, supports monitoring & control of performance of key equipment 24/7 with sampling frequency of 1 minute and notify the alerts / alarms on breakdown of equipment in few seconds. AI/ML driven ETi-SOL provides analysis report on Inverters performance ranking on various parameters and Inverter downtime loss analysis; these analytics and report will help on-site O&M team to take corrective and preventive maintenance activities to reduce the losses and improve the performance of the Solar PV assets.

EnerMANโ€™s ETi-CAST was developed using AI & ML for day ahead, week ahead and month-ahead energy generation forecasting, which is improved the accuracy to > 90%, we are working on improving the energy generation forecasting accuracy level to 95%. This will help developer in providing accurate energy scheduling data to SLDCs and reducing penalties on deviations.

What new innovations or upgrades has EnerMAN introduced to support solar developers in meeting net-zero goals and reducing operational risks?

EnerMANโ€™s Innovative products will help developers / renewable asset owners in tracking of every unit of clean and green energy generated from renewable assets 24/7, with live and remote tracking of KPI like CO2 emission reduction, and equivalent Tree farms to absorb CO2 emission for every minute from day one of their assets till lifetime of the assets. This will help developers plan their investments in renewable assets to achieve a net-zero target and maintain their net-zero goal target. EnerMANโ€™s product will directly contribute to generating more than 2% i.e. additional 81 million units of clean and green energy in a year. This will reduce additional 33 Metric Tons of Co2 emission, which is equivalent of building tree farms of 1.5 million trees.
