What iPLON India does

iPLON India Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2013 in Chennai, is a privately held engineering and software vendor specializing in intelligent SCADA, Energy Management Systems (EMS), Power Plant Controllers (PPC), Hybrid Power Plant Controllers (HPPC), microgrid controllers, and IoT dataloggers for the renewable energy sector. Its portfolio targets utility-scale solar and solar-wind-storage hybrid plants (up to 300+ MW), government-driven distributed solar under the PM-KUSUM scheme, and commercial & industrial microgrids integrating PV, BESS, diesel, and grid. Core platforms are hardware-agnostic and support open protocols (Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC-UA, MQTT), with deployments available on-premise, on-cloud, or hybrid; the architecture is built around IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 cybersecurity standards and validated for Indian Grid Code, CEA, SLDC, and DISCOM compliance.

The company monetizes through a mix of software licensing/subscription (SCADA, EMS/PPC, HPPC modules), hardware sales (iEdgeX dataloggers, IoT gateways, dataloggers), project engineering and commissioning services, and post-sale annual maintenance contracts, with quote-based enterprise pricing on multi-year contracts. GTM is direct enterprise field sales with regional managers covering West, South, and North India, supplemented by annual booth presence at the Renewable Energy India Expo and state-level events. iPLON has deployed SCADA across 5 GW+ of utility-scale renewable capacity, PPC/HPPC across 2 GW+, 150+ PV-DG microgrids, and monitors 10,000+ rooftop plants as a service, serving enterprise customers including Avaada, Renew Power, IndiGrid, Sembcorp, Reliance, Brightnight, Athena Renewables, Waaree, Azure Power, L&T, and SunAlpha.

Since 2024, iPLON has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ezee Energy GmbH, part of the German family-owned Thomas Preuhs Holding GmbH, under CEO & Managing Director Rahul Sharma (formerly Director of Sales & Services, who succeeded founder Victor Thamburaj). The company is structured around 4 functional directors and 60+ specialized engineers, with headquarters in Chennai and regional sales and support hubs in Delhi/NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune, plus resident field engineers in Rajasthan, Punjab, and Tamil Nadu. A 2018 strategic partnership with Solare Datensysteme GmbH (Solar-Log) extends the portfolio to include Solar-Log-branded energy management systems for India and Sri Lanka.

Core offering

iPLON India designs, develops, and deploys intelligent SCADA, EMS, PPC, HPPC, microgrid, and IoT-monitoring software and hardware solutions for solar, wind, hybrid, and battery-storage power plants. Its offering combines proprietary modular SCADA platforms, OEM-agnostic grid-synchronized plant controllers, MNRE-compliant IoT dataloggers, and microgrid controllers with on-premise, cloud, or hybrid deployment models for utility-scale and C&I renewable projects across India.

Product overview

iPLON India offers a unified ecosystem of intelligent energy management solutions for the renewable energy sector. The portfolio comprises a modular, hardware-agnostic architecture centered on: (1) SCADA & Observability Platform running on both IoT and PLC hardware for real-time monitoring; (2) EMS/PPC/HPPC Controllers — a suite of power plant controllers providing grid-synchronized command, control, and optimization for utility-scale solar, hybrid, and battery-integrated plants; (3) iEdgeX Datalogger & IoT SCADA purpose-built for PM-KUSUM distributed solar projects with MNRE compliance; and (4) Microgrid Controller for C&I hybrid energy management. These products share a common cybersecurity architecture, support open industry protocols (Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC-UA, MQTT), and can be deployed locally, on-cloud, or in hybrid configurations. The ecosystem enables grid-compliant, future-ready energy systems from MW-scale to 300+ MW utility plants.
