The Earth is a great teacher. To nurture, sustain and grow are its ways. So are the driving principles of our energy initiative. We generate alternative energy. We are bringing in new paradigms of hybrid power, decentralized power generation and catalyzing the advent of optional usage of energy through our range of LED lighting.
The Earth-Our responsibility. Our energy-Responsible energy.
Our Company
Research & Development
We have embarked on a unique journey, our paths and processes are aligned towards being responsible and accountable to our stakeholders including the planet and the nature. Our quest for innovation and perfection is unending and is the cornerstone of our value proposition.
Our Research and Development helps in both renewable energy segment and LED lighting applications:
- Performs contract research, development and demonstration projects (on field and in the laboratory)
- Provides technical services related to alternative energy and environment
- Implements technology development programs for the alternative technology industry and other clients, including local, state and federal government
- Provides education and training on technical and business topics related to alternative energy and environment
All our Processes and Quality Management standards meet the ISO standards and are set to meet Six Sigma standards.
Our Way
We are a new company with roots firmly in the ground and our heart in the right place. We are passionate about the Earth and its people..
All products that we design, develop and produce are environmental friendly and created through careful examination of the surrounding environment. At SE we provide a ground for creative thinking and quality driven implementation standards. Our associates are encouraged to think outside the box and constantly improve product, processes and output quality.
We have designed our facilities to ensure minimum damage to the world we live in and make every effort to keep our workplace safe and secure.
Safety and security of the associates and the work place is of prime importance in our offices and factories where strong adherence to environmental policies and guidelines is a way of life.
Journey Ahead
The onus lies on us to be responsible in consumption and generation of energy. Energy is a challenging yet growing sector which requires prudent management and a responsibility of preserving natural ecosystems.
The future of energy is constrained by a number of issues spanning growing demand, constrained supply, geopolitical dynamics and more importantly unavailability of new resources. To tackle this situation SE is implementing newer business models that are essential to meet the significant growth of global energy demand. Adding & accelerating the diversification of energy generation sources is obligatory. Most companies in the solar business today understand that ‘scale’ is very important to create a foot print. However, at SE, a key tenet for sustainability is innovation and it is only with holistic energy strategies and business innovations that we are poised to succeed.
Products & Services
Solar Power Generation
Distributed or Decentralized Power Generation (DPG) offers the possibility of creating microgrids (within the overall utilities framework) to cater to the requirements of a group of consumers in a well defined geographical area. DPG close to the rural load centers using renewable sources appears to have the greatest potential to address most of the problems of rural electrification. DPG in rural areas can improve voltage profiles, lower distribution losses and supply reactive power locally. Typical DPG plant capacity range from few hundred kilowatts to few megawatts. We are focused to provide DPG solutions using affordable solar technologies.
- Concentrated Solar Thermal
- Solar Photovoltaic
- Hybrid
LED Lighting Applications
Governments around the world are emphasizing energy efficiency as the way to mitigate global warming without constraining economic growth. Energy efficiency focuses on how much energy is used relative to the services demanded. Electricity used for lighting in residential and commercial buildings in rural areas constitutes a significant portion of the overall energy cost. Hence, our focus is to provide efficient and affordable energy efficient lighting solutions using LED and solar technologies.
We have developed a large range of advanced LED lighting solutions for both our institutional and retail customers in partnership with the world's two largest LED manufacturers, NICHIA and CREE.
Our products cater to:
- Domestic lighting applications
- Commercial and industrial lighting applications
- Rural lighting applications
- Government and public infrastructure lighting
Indoor
- Downlight 8W
- Downlight 13W
- Troffer Light 20W
- Troffer Light 40W
- Bulb 5W

Waste heat to power / Water purification
All power plants emit a certain amount of heat during electricity generation. For example, about 50% of all fuel burned by industrial sources becomes waste heat. Harnessing the waste heat for electricity, especially in the temperature range of 120-180oC can be very useful to improve the efficiency of many heat engines.
Our approach is to use an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) engine to convert the waste heat into electricity. In many parts of the developing world, there is a shortage of drinking water. To address this problem, we employ membrane distillation technology that uses low-grade waste heat (60-90o C) for water purification. These and other multi-generation solar energy based technologies are being developed to address the utilization of waste heat to useful purposes.
- Organic Rankine Cycle Turbine Engine- waste heat recovery system
- Water Membrane Distillation- water purification system
