Singapore-headquartered Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (AIoT) software developer, Envision Digital, has signed a partnership agreement with solar developer Lightsource bp to drive solar power optimisation.
The collaboration will see Lightsource bp use Envision Digital’s AIoT platform analytics to obtain data driven insights. These insights will enable automation, as well as optimisation of the performance and operation of their solar assets.
The aim of the partnership is to support Lightsource bp’s rapidly expanding solar portfolio, which includes 25GW of solar power projects globally by 2025.

“Deploying solar power at pace means making the most of projects once they are up and running. It’s not just about the cost of capital and your project execution. Lightsource bp has an exceptional reputation on both fronts and once all that hard work is done, we don’t want to waste a single photon,” said Nick Boyle, Group CEO, Lightsource bp.
“The partnership with Envision Digital gives us an anatomical level of insight on our assets to optimise them remotely and drive improvements,” he added.
Envision Digital’s proprietary AIoT operating system, EnOS, supports more than 360GW of clean energy assets across the globe, a source of expertise Lightsource bp plans to leverage to scale up development.
Michael Ding, Global Executive Director of Envision, said: “We see a lot of synergies with Lightsource bp and our teams are rapidly deploying and scaling technology to power the energy transition together.”
