The Solar Man of India
“I innovate therefore I am.” This is a mantra of Su-Kam’s Chairman Kunwer Sachdev. A man possessed of tremendous vision, and driven by his signature ode to ‘Technovation’, Sachdev is now particularly interested in making green energy (solar) available to all across India. Sachdev had predicted an imminent boom in solar energy equipment a decade ago, and it is this vision that is shaping his organization’s current innovations. Sachdev’s efforts have led to Su-Kam acquiring the largest market share in the solar residential sector in India, which endorses his long-term aim to power every Indian household with solar energy.
H is ideas about household solar equipment have translated into products such as Solarcon (a one-of-its-kind solar conversion kit that lets users transform existing inverters into solar inverters) and Brainy (the world’s first hybrid solar home UPS). Sachdev has driven the innovations that are enabling the invention of solar products to suit diverse needs – from those in a small rural home to large-box manufacturing facilities. He is also behind the creation of a unique solar DC system, which features equipment that can be directly run on DC energy (100% energy efficient). Sachdev’s success is the outcome of decades of passion and energy, tempered by an enduring humility. His team is currently also working on the company’s new IOT (Internet of Things) device. To illustrate the USPs of this product, Sachdev reveals that a solar streetlight on camera is being installed at the gate of his office, and which will be completely controlled through his mobile phone. He will also be shortly installing a microphone so that the person standing at the gate can also be heard from within the office premises. Su-Kam will launch advanced solar streetlights in July 2018.
