Redefining Solar Asset Management with AI-Driven Intelligence - Ashok DM, Founder, CEO & MD, EnerMAN Technologies
Solar asset managers care about one thing above all: reliable generation at the lowest possible operating cost. EnerMAN's platform lineup, led by ETi-SOL, turns plant data into decisions you can act on in minutes, not days. Ashok DM and his team have built a system that connects operations, finance, and compliance without adding complexity for your crews.
From data to action: what ETi-SOL delivers
- Minute-wise live data across key equipment, accessible 24/7 on web and mobile.
- Instant fault alerts so site engineers can cut response times and protect generation.
- AI/ML-based inverter performance ranking to pinpoint underperformance early.
- Downtime and energy loss analytics by hour, day, and month for both inverters and grid events.
- Procurement intelligence: use field data to select better-performing modules, inverters, and critical BOS for future projects.
- Automated daily and monthly generation reports via email to developers and stakeholders.
- Finance integration: share live data with accounting systems to streamline revenue and expense management.
- Regulatory and market readiness: share forecasts and live performance with QCA and State Load Dispatch Centres (SLDCs).
- SEDM integration for PM-KUSUM projects to automate billing and implement support schemes.
The outcome: fewer blind spots, quicker fixes, and steady improvements that compound over time.
Affordability without cutting corners
Cost is often where digital initiatives stall. EnerMAN built hardware, firmware, software, and apps in-house using open-source platforms, cutting Solar PV SCADA costs from more than INR 3.5 lakhs per MW (2015-16) to less than INR 1 lakh (2018-19). That makes fleet-wide adoption practical, not aspirational.
More importantly, their customers see more than a 2% lift in energy generation. Across 2.7+ GW of plants and rooftops, that adds up to 72+ million units of additional energy per year. For management, that's meaningful revenue and better asset IRR without adding capacity.
Compliance built in for each market
Policies and grid codes change by country and state. EnerMAN's suite - ETi-SOL, ETi-EDGE, ETi-PPC, ETi-ZES, ETi-LOG, and ETi-LMS - includes features to meet local requirements so you can commission, operate, and report with fewer custom builds and fewer surprises.
Net-zero tracking you can report with confidence
Executives and boards want clean, comparable KPIs. EnerMAN tracks every unit of clean energy, plus live CO2 reduction and an equivalent "tree farm" view - from day one, minute by minute, for the life of the asset. That makes portfolio planning for net-zero targets far simpler and keeps the narrative consistent across internal and external reports.
What's next: storage, deeper analytics, wider reach
As storage becomes standard in utility and C&I projects, EnerMAN is rolling out ETi-BESS for battery monitoring, control, and analysis. The focus is straightforward: improve grid stability and make renewable energy dependable around the clock.
On the software side, expect more analytics to reduce losses and raise plant performance. Geographically, the company is preparing to expand in APAC, North America, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa.
What this means for management
- Set clear uptime and loss thresholds, and wire auto-alerts to your escalation matrix.
- Use inverter rankings in weekly O&M reviews to prioritize maintenance and spares.
- Integrate SCADA with finance so revenue recognition and curtailment loss reporting are automatic.
- Let downtime analytics drive vendor and component selection in new bids.
- Align portfolio reporting to CO2 and "tree equivalent" KPIs for consistent net-zero updates.
- Plan BESS pilots where grid instability or peak tariffs justify it, and track outcomes in ETi-BESS.
Bottom line
EnerMAN turns monitoring into measurable gains: faster fault response, smarter procurement, tighter compliance, and clearer P&L impact. If you're scaling a portfolio, this is the kind of system that keeps your assets productive and your reporting clean.
