    Freyr Energy Partners with Schneider Electric to Drive Smart Solar Adoption Across India

    Mumbai: In a significant development for India’s clean energy ecosystem, Freyr Energy Services Pvt. Ltd., a leading rooftop solar startup, has announced a strategic partnership with Schneider Electric, the global leader in energy management and automation. The collaboration is set to revolutionize residential energy use by delivering integrated smart home and solar solutions, aimed at enabling 25,000 energy prosumers by 2026.

    Through this initiative, Schneider Electric’s Wiser Smart Home platform—a digital solution that provides real-time monitoring and energy optimization—will be paired with Freyr Energy’s expertise in rooftop solar systems. This integrated offering is designed to help homeowners increase the use of renewable energy, minimize electricity costs, and reduce dependence on conventional power sources.

    The partnership supports India’s national goal of reducing carbon emissions by 33–35% by 2030 (from 2005 levels), contributing directly to the country’s clean energy transition. By promoting smart, sustainable solutions at the household level, the two companies aim to make energy efficiency both practical and accessible.

    Sumati Sahgal, Vice President – Retail, Schneider Electric India, highlighted the sustainability focus of the alliance: “At Schneider Electric, sustainability drives our innovation. This partnership with Freyr Energy marks a crucial step in enabling Indian homeowners to reduce their energy costs while contributing to national climate goals. Our Wiser system, combined with Freyr’s solar expertise, creates a seamless and empowering energy experience.”

    Freyr Energy Vision

    Saurabh Marda, Co-founder & Managing Director, Freyr Energy, shared a similar vision: “With Schneider Electric, we are delivering more than just solar installations—we’re providing a complete energy solution. Real-time control and visibility over energy production and usage will help Indian families make smarter, greener choices.”

    In addition to offering a unified energy solution, Schneider Electric will provide access to its full range of safe, efficient, and sustainable energy products—supported by professional installation, reliable service, and long-term assistance. This partnership moves the Indian housing sector closer to intelligent, future-ready homes driven by digital innovation and clean energy.
