Schneider Electric, a multinational company specializing in energy management and automation, has entered into a strategic alliance with Freyr Energy Services, an Indian firm known for rooftop solar installations. This collaboration aims to blend Schneider Electric’s automation and digital tools with Freyr Energy’s solar solutions to promote clean energy use in Indian households. The initiative is aligned with India’s climate objectives, particularly the aim to cut carbon emissions by 33–35% from 2005 levels by the year 2030.
A key component of the partnership involves the use of Schneider’s Wiser Smart Home system. This platform helps users track and manage their energy use in real time, improving efficiency and reducing electricity bills.
“Our focus on sustainable innovation is central to everything we do,” said Sumati Sahgal, Vice President of Retail at Schneider Electric India. “Working with Freyr Energy brings us closer to making eco-friendly homes a standard across the country.”
The Wiser system supports homeowners in using more solar power, cutting down their dependence on conventional energy sources. The goal is to provide smart energy control while helping people lower their energy costs.
Freyr Energy, which has carried out solar installations in over a dozen Indian states, sees this partnership as a shift from simply setting up solar systems to delivering a complete home energy solution. Founded in 2014 and based in Hyderabad, Freyr Energy offers services such as consulting, system design, engineering, and support after installation. All of these are managed through their mobile app.
“This collaboration moves us beyond just rooftop solar,” said Saurabh Marda, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Freyr Energy. “By integrating Schneider’s technology, we’re giving our customers a clearer view of how their systems are performing and how their energy is being used — helping them save more and stay in control.”
Freyr Energy has a strong presence in states like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. The company plans to expand further by focusing on technology-driven energy solutions.
