İnelso Energy Systems

What İnelso Energy Systems does

İnelso Enerji Sistemleri (İnelso Energy Systems) is a Turkish R&D-focused energy technology company founded in 2018 and based at Akdeniz University Teknokent in Antalya. It builds monitoring, control, and management infrastructure for distributed renewable energy assets, with its flagship product SolarMetrica — an AI-driven monitoring platform — alongside Power Plant SCADA and Power Plant Control (PPC) hardware and software. Its AI models, including Random Forest, ANN, SVM, and kNN algorithms, are applied to fault detection and predictive maintenance for solar and other renewable plants, with reported validation accuracies achieved in collaboration with international R&D partners such as Fraunhofer IFF and CIEMAT-PSA.

İnelso operates a multi-revenue-stream business model. It generates project-based revenue through EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) services for solar plants and through sale/installation of SCADA and PPC equipment, including mandatory compliance deployments under EPDK rules for plants above 1 MW. It earns recurring SaaS revenue from SolarMetrica subscriptions and ongoing O&M services, and supplements these with financial consulting. Its customer base spans hotels, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, engineering services, and electricity distribution utilities in Turkey, with 20+ named companies across these segments.

The company runs an unusually lean operation of around six employees, leveraging subcontractors and a network of R&D collaborations — including EU Horizon partnerships (ZERODEFECT4PV, DISOPED) and joint projects with multiple Turkish EDAŞ distribution companies — to deliver technical scope disproportionate to its headcount. It has been funded primarily through non-dilutive Turkish public sources (TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB), and as of the latest data it monitors more than 2,046 energy facilities, including 849 solar power plants totaling over 350 MWp, plus 1,164 distribution-level SCADA connections.
