The platform is used by over 80 customers to analyze over 28 GW of solar assets in 15 countries and the company is focused on expanding its offerings and customer base as the world increasingly moves to renewable energy. Global installed solar capacity is expected to increase from the current installed base of 600GW to 3,000 GW worldwide in 2030. Moreover, it is already expanding its market by serving customers in road infrastructure, power transmission and construction industries, and deepening its suite of offerings beyond solar.

Application modules on the platform support site and terrain management, construction monitoring, operations, thermography, work management and file organization. A mobile app extends the power of the platform and brings data to field techs with all the information at their fingertips.

Furthermore, SenseHawk will expand its presence to Abu Dhabi and use UAE as a global base for international expansion while also targeting the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, MENA and other global markets. It will also build a world-class team of data scientists, product managers and engineers located in Abu Dhabi.

“The investment through Alpha Wave Incubation provides strategic access to the MENA market in addition to powering the ongoing development of our software platform. The follow-on investment by SAIF Partners is a validation of our direction and reaffirms their commitment to be a long-term partner to the startups they invest in,” said Swarup Mavanoor, CEO and co-founder of SenseHawk. “Solar construction is on a fast trajectory and this new funding enables us to continue to support designers, builders and operators of this critical form of renewable energy.”
