Seeng Ltd develops innovative technologies to advance sustainable solutions in energy, environment and safety. We are team of experienced academics in the engineering and environmental fields developing technological solutions to address critical sustainability problems. Our latest development is an IOT system called ‘SIMON’, which connects, manages and monitors photovoltaic systems.
Our latest development is an AIOT system that allows you to maintain high efficiency solar panels in installations. Our AIOT system consists of two of our products "SIMON" (software solution) and "SALAMANDER" (hardware solution we are working on), respectively based on AI and IOT technologies, which solve the problems of monitoring, connection, management, maintenance and cleaning of solar systems.SIMON is predictive AI management software, and will be able to manage the SALAMANDER system for cleaning panels.
Large-scale solar farms consist of thousands of individual photovoltaic panels. Anomalies and failures in individual panels can cause a loss of performance of up to 40% in a large photovoltaic system. Current panel-level monitoring, if any, often requires multiple systems, drones, maintenance personnel, voltage monitors, etc. which often only highlight a single problem, i.e. dirty, broken or damaged panels. A 10% efficiency improvement in a 1 megawatt solar farm can be worth £50-60,000 over its lifetime, and in some cases the SIMON system has achieved performance improvements of up to 30%. The UK alone had over 14,000mw of installed solar capacity in 2022, so the market opportunity is huge.
The business opportunity is huge. A 10% efficiency improvement in a 1 megawatt solar farm can be worth £50-60,000 over its lifetime.
Revenue for using SIMON is calculated at approximately (depending on local rate) £0.03 per KWh produced per annum, plus a one-off revenue of £0.01 per KWh/year for rent of using SIMON. So both we and the user have a strong incentive to maximize energy production.
For our initial focus we chose to pursue SAM in the UK, this contributes around 14.1GW and has expanded at a rate of around 350MW of new installations in 2019 alone, in addition to 12.5GW of existing installations .
