Quantified Energy (QE), a Singapore-based AI and automation company, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Generali China Insurance (GCI), part of the global Generali Group. This collaboration aims to revolutionise solar power plant insurance by incorporating QE’s advanced drone Electroluminescence (EL) mapping technology into GCI’s insurance processes.
The partnership will utilise QE’s proprietary drone EL inspection technology to detect internal defects in solar photovoltaic modules, such as micro-cracks and early-stage degradation, which are not visible to the naked eye. This technology will be integrated into GCI’s risk management ecosystem, setting new standards for solar asset protection throughout their lifecycle—from construction to post-disaster assessment.
Yan Wang, CEO and Co-founder of QE, stated, “By partnering with a global insurer like Generali, we’re transforming EL from a factory-based test into an industry-wide risk management standard—helping solar owners and insurers alike shift from reactive claims handling to proactive asset protection.”
The collaboration will also see QE developing a Technical Due Diligence evaluation protocol and rating algorithm to support risk surveys for reinsurance and refinancing. Jack Yuan, CEO at GCI, highlighted the importance of this technology, saying, “QE’s aerial EL technology offers an unprecedented level of insight into the health of solar farms.”
This partnership not only validates QE’s inspection technology on an international scale but also showcases Singapore-led innovation’s potential to influence the global renewable energy industry. As the renewable energy sector grows, the need for sophisticated risk management tools becomes increasingly critical, and this collaboration is poised to meet that demand.
