About SmartHelio

SmartHelio provides a software that helps solar utilities automatically predict and prevent downtime disruptions. We help solar utilities to generate extra $200k per plant income on $10k spent using our software, by preventing 700 faults per year.

We have a platform which reads live data (current, voltage, weather parameters) from a solar plant, runs algorithms to decouple various factors for the underperformance and provides recommendations to fix it. This data is 100% available for the large scale solar in the world just using software (e.g. APIs).

Product launch: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heliocloud

Our cloud software is being used by 40+ leading solar developers in Europe and Asia. We have analyzed 25+ billion of data points from over 3 GW of solar assets spread across the globe in the last 2 years.

Neeraj Dasila

Born and bred in a remote Himalayan hamlet, I learned early on how tech or even the smallest innovation can help improve the quality of life of people. With this vision, I studied Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay and later worked on Connected Vehicles & Electric Mobility as a product manager at TATA. Then, I moved to the Govt. of India to work on sustainable energy transitions. Today, my aim is to build affordable & scalable solutions for all to tackle climate change.
