A Technopark-incubated company has developed a solar-powered inverter equipped with a remote maintenance and performance tracking system using a mobile device or remote computer.
The company named Ronds Innotech launched the smart solar inverter at a function here on Saturday.
The device incorporates a mechanism that can switch the power source between sunlight and AC mains automatically.
Switch sources
During daytime, the automated power source selection (APSS) mechanism directly runs the applications from sunlight without taking power from AC Mains Supply, thereby cutting down on the power bill.
During night or if the load connected requires more power, it will change the power source to AC mains supply.
The performance tracking system links the device with a remote PC over a GSM channel, without using Internet or GPRS.
The mechanism helps to manage the settings and to track and monitor the operations, performance, complaints and maintenance of any electronics device from a remote computer or mobile device.
Addressing a press conference held to launch the product, Sijo Joseph, CEO, Ronds Innotech, said the inverter was capable of supporting all home appliances like lights, fans, televisions, mixers and grinders.
He said the company had also developed a facility to convert existing inverters to a smart solar device by adding a solar hybrid Automated Power Controlling Unit (APCU).
Price
The product will be available initially in South India and later in other markets. The base model is priced Rs.29,000.
Launching the product, K.C. Chandrashekharan Nair, Registrar, Technopark TBI, said that “innovative ideas like these are helping us make our lives better. They also encourage other entrepreneurs to come up with such products.”
The press conference was also attended by Govardhan G.S., Chief Operations Officer, Ronds Innotech; Jijo Joseph, Chief Marketing Officer; Rona K.S., Chief Technology Officer; Deepu Aravind, Operations Head, and Sreejith, Technical Officer, Technopark – TBI.
