Industrial IoT for Renewable Energy

LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Renewable energy — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.

Industrial IoT for Renewable Energy replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.

Renewable generation supplied a record 50.8% of UK electricity in 2024, and the government's clean power plan calls for 43 to 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, up from around 30.7 GW installed or committed. Wind, solar and battery assets are highly distributed, often remote and frequently unmanned, which makes remote condition monitoring central to keeping them available. LoRaWAN sensing gives operators low-power eyes on substations, inverter stations, met masts and storage sites without wiring every point.

Industrial IoT for Renewable Energy: sensors, gateways and dashboards

Built for Wind and solar asset managers, Operations and maintenance field teams, Battery storage operators, Independent power producers and developers and Renewable engineering contractors. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Renewable Energy deployments include:

  • Inverter station and substation temperature and humidity monitoring across sites
  • Battery energy storage temperature, gas and environmental safety monitoring
  • Solar farm environmental sensing for soiling, weather and performance context
  • Remote met mast and site weather monitoring for wind and solar assets
  • Physical security and access monitoring on unmanned renewable sites
  • Grid connection plant room condition monitoring to protect availability

Compliance and drivers in Renewable energy

Renewable operators connect under Ofgem's regulatory framework and, as generation grows, more sites fall within the security expectations of the NIS Regulations 2018 for essential energy services. The Clean Power 2030 goal and the UK's legally binding Net Zero target are driving a rapid build-out of wind, solar and storage that must be monitored and kept available. Sensing on a separate low-power network supports both uptime and the operational technology security operators are expected to manage.

Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor.

Why Renewable energy teams choose Indiott

Here is why renewable energy operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Renewable Energy partner rather than a generic reseller.

UK stock, UK delivery

Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.

Engineer-led, not box-shifting

An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.

One stack, many brands

Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.

Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends

When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.

Industrial IoT for Renewable Energy: frequently asked questions

How do you monitor remote or unmanned renewable sites?

Battery sensors report over long-range LoRaWAN radio to a gateway, so unmanned substations, inverter stations and storage compounds can be watched continuously and raise alerts on temperature, access or environmental changes without a permanent connection at each device.

Is monitoring useful for battery storage safety?

Yes. Temperature, humidity and gas sensing around battery enclosures gives early warning of conditions that can precede thermal problems, supporting the safety case operators need as storage capacity grows across the grid.

Does this affect our grid or control systems?

No. Condition monitoring runs on its own low-power network separate from control systems, which keeps it from adding to the operational technology attack surface that energy security rules expect operators to manage.
