Sunbond collaborates with Discoms for smoother solar integration

As the solar sector evolves with digital monitoring and AI-based asset management, Sunbond is at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge digital technologies into solar manufacturing and service delivery.

Sunbond Energy has developed a universal solar module solution that caters to various project sizes, ensuring consistent performance across all projects. Bhavya M. Doshi, Chief Strategy Officer at Sunbond Energy, explains the company’s unique design innovation, performance, and scalability, which are best suited for residential, commercial, and industrial users.

What sets Sunbond Energy’s products apart in terms of design innovation, performance and scalability for residential, commercial and industrial users?

We have developed a universal solar module solution that seamlessly caters to residential, commercial, and industrial applications. We engineer our modules for optimal scalability, ensuring consistent performance across a range of project sizes. Our products are designed to adapt to the evolving needs of the Indian and global solar markets with a strong focus on minimising system losses and maximising energy output. Our product versatility enables EPC players and developers to rely on a single, robust solution across multiple deployment scenarios, ensuring long-term value and technical efficiency.

With the rising demand for rooftop and distributed solar installations, how is Sunbond addressing challenges related to grid integration, load balancing, and energy storage?

We actively engage with key stakeholders to navigate the evolving complexities of grid integration. States like Gujarat and Maharashtra, which are leading in rooftop solar installations, are currently facing challenges with grid interconnection and load management. We collaborate closely with DISCOMs and regulatory bodies to ensure smoother integration of distributed solar systems.

We recognise the pivotal role of Power Grid Corporation in enabling a stable national energy infrastructure and view energy storage and smart grid coordination as central to India’s solar future. We are also exploring partnerships and innovations that address load balancing and battery-based solutions, making decentralised solar more grid-responsive and efficient.

Maintenance is a vital factor in ensuring the long-term performance of solar assets. What proactive O&M practices or technologies does Sunbond Energy implement to maximise system uptime and efficiency?

We place strong emphasis on empowering customers with the knowledge and tools needed to maintain their solar systems effectively. We provide structured training and educational resources on system operation, cleaning and preventive care. For smaller systems, our support enables end-users to manage maintenance independently with confidence.

We recommend a professional operations and maintenance (O&M) framework, including periodic inspections, thermal audits, and data monitoring, to ensure maximum system uptime and performance for larger commercial and industrial projects. We believe in proactive maintenance, which helps preserve efficiency, extend asset life and reduce long-term operational costs.

How does Sunbond ensure the quality and reliability of its solar modules and inverters, particularly in extreme weather conditions or remote installations across India?

We are committed to manufacturing solar modules that are built to endure. We source only high-grade raw materials, and our meticulously developed Bill of Materials (BOM) ensures that each module delivers exceptional durability and performance, even in high humidity, extreme temperatures, and dust-prone regions.

By adhering to rigorous internal quality control processes and extensive testing protocols, we ensure that our products can withstand the demanding requirements of both urban and remote installations across India. Our reliability-driven approach made us a trusted choice for developers who prioritise longevity and consistency in performance.

As the solar sector evolves with digital monitoring and AI-based asset management, how is Sunbond incorporating these trends into its offerings to enhance customer experience and system longevity?

We are at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge digital technologies into solar manufacturing and service delivery. We have adopted AI-driven solutions across our production lines, enabling higher precision in quality checks and faster detection of any anomalies. This advancement enhances manufacturing efficiency and enables complete module traceability and reverse traceability, a crucial component in after-sales service and warranty management.

We aim to deepen integration of AI and IoT for predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics and intelligent energy management. This will ensure our customers gain maximum return on their solar investments with minimal operational friction.
