The Road to Zero Diesel for our customers

As companies experience un-paralleled cost and currency pressures, reducing and eliminating diesel energy costs – including both fuel and site servicing costs - is of utmost importance. Clear Blue has already proven that it can deliver the lowest upfront cost – as an example, solar only systems with Clear Blue's Smart Power have a 40% lower Capex than other systems. Now, Clear Blue is bringing this capability to diesel powered larger systems via our AI driven product roadmap.

"We are pleased that the rest of the industry is now seeing the importance of the data and analytics foundation that we built Clear Blue's product stack on from day one", said Miriam Tuerk, CEO of Clear Blue. "Pair that with the significant growth demand in the market for connectivity and for green power, we are meeting the challenges of our customers as they grab this significant growth opportunity."
