Why India Is Treating Rooftop Solar Data as a National Security Asset
Learn why India considers rooftop solar data a national security asset and how evolving RMS guidelines strengthen cybersecurity and energy resilience.
DATOMS is now an officially registered MNRE Technology Partner, helping Solar OEMs simplify compliance with secure connectivity to the MNRE Central Portal. Through TraDe Solar and the DATOMS Solar Inverter Monitoring Platform, OEMs can accelerate compliance, standardize telemetry and manage monitoring, diagnostics, alerts and reporting through a single enterprise-grade solution.
Official MNRE registration is more than a compliance milestone. By combining MNRE-compliant hardware with an enterprise-grade monitoring platform, DATOMS helps Solar OEMs simplify compliance, accelerate deployment and securely connect solar assets to the MNRE Central Portal at scale.
India’s rooftop solar ecosystem is entering a new phase of digital accountability. As the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) strengthens telemetry and monitoring requirements under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, Solar OEMs are under increasing pressure to deliver compliant, connected solutions that integrate securely and reliably with the MNRE Central Portal.
We’re pleased to share a significant milestone: DATOMS is now an officially registered MNRE Technology Partner, helping Solar OEMs simplify compliance through TraDe Solar, our MNRE-compliant communication device family. Designed to securely connect compatible inverter fleets to the MNRE Central Portal, TraDe Solar is complemented by the DATOMS Solar Inverter Monitoring Platform, delivering a complete end-to-end solution for monitoring, diagnostics, fleet management and regulatory reporting.
This milestone builds on our earlier discussions around MNRE’s RMS guidelines, and secure communication protocols and data localization requirements, reinforcing our commitment to helping Solar OEMs navigate compliance with confidence while accelerating deployment at scale.
Until now, OEMs building MNRE-compliant telemetry had two options: build a proprietary integration with the Central Portal from scratch, or work with a partner still working toward that certification. As a registered technology partner, DATOMS removes that uncertainty. OEMs can:
We’ve previously covered how leading OEMs are cutting RMS deployment time by up to 80%. Official registration is what makes that deployment speed achievable without OEMs independently certifying their own Central Portal connection.
Connect your solar inverter fleet to the MNRE Central Portal without building a custom integration. DATOMS combines TraDe Solar's MNRE-compliant communication devices with an enterprise-grade Solar Inverter Monitoring Platform, enabling real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, OTA updates, secure telemetry, and centralized fleet management for OEMs from a single platform.
India’s renewable energy targets depend on rooftop and distributed solar scaling reliably, and reliable scale requires that every installation’s performance data actually reaches the national grid operators managing it. Historically, that’s been the industry’s weak point, with monitoring, reporting, and compliance staying fragmented across brands, dongles, and portals.
Official MNRE registration addresses this at the source:
At the hardware layer of this integration is TraDe Solar, our family of MNRE-compliant communication devices. TraDe Solar enables secure, real-time data transmission from solar inverters to both the DATOMS cloud platform and the MNRE Central Portal, giving OEMs remote monitoring, compliance readiness, and complete visibility across distributed solar assets, out of the box.
TraDe Solar is designed, developed, and assembled in India, covering both hardware and firmware.
| Model | Connectivity | MNRE Compliant |
|---|---|---|
| TraDe Solar USB | Plug-and-play USB | Yes |
| TraDe Solar Dongle, WiFi Version | WiFi | Yes |
| TraDe Solar Dongle, WiFi + 4G Fallback | WiFi with 4G fallback | Yes |
| TraDe Solar Gland | Cable-gland mounted, designed for large-scale connected solar deployments. | Yes |
The TraDe Solar Dongle series is available in two connectivity versions: a standard WiFi version, and a 4G Fallback WiFi version that automatically switches to 4G if the WiFi connection drops, keeping data flowing to the MNRE Central Portal without interruption.
Most EPCs, distributors, and fleet operators don’t work with a single inverter brand.
Their portfolios often include products from multiple manufacturers across residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations.
Managing separate communication devices, monitoring applications, and compliance workflows for each brand quickly becomes operationally expensive.
TraDe Solar solves this challenge through a vendor-neutral architecture.
Compatible with 100+ inverter brands, it enables OEMs, EPCs, and fleet operators to standardize on a single communication layer regardless of the inverter deployed in the field.
Instead of managing multiple proprietary ecosystems, organizations can streamline onboarding, monitoring, firmware management, reporting, and MNRE compliance through one integrated platform.
For OEMs, this also means easier partnerships with EPCs and distributors already managing diverse inverter portfolios.
Achieving MNRE compliance is an important milestone, but compliance alone doesn’t address the ongoing challenges of managing large solar fleets.
The DATOMS Solar Inverter Monitoring Platform, goes beyond regulatory connectivity by combining MNRE-compliant communication with enterprise-grade fleet management in a single platform.
With DATOMS, OEMs can:
Instead of deploying separate tools for compliance, monitoring, and customer support, OEMs gain one connected ecosystem that supports the entire lifecycle of every deployed inverter—helping deliver a superior digital experience long after installation.
While official MNRE registration delivers significant value for solar inverter OEMs, the advantages extend across the entire solar ecosystem.
Installers, EPC companies, distributors, and service partners are under increasing pressure to deploy systems faster, minimize commissioning issues, and provide better after-sales support. Managing different monitoring applications, communication devices, and compliance workflows for multiple inverter brands often increases operational complexity and service costs.
With TraDe Solar and the DATOMS Solar Inverter Monitoring Platform, these stakeholders gain a unified solution that simplifies deployment while improving long-term service efficiency:
Behind every compliant inverter is a homeowner who simply wants confidence that their investment is performing as expected.
While MNRE compliance primarily benefits manufacturers and installers, homeowners experience the advantages every day through improved monitoring, faster support, and greater transparency.
With TraDe Solar-enabled systems, homeowners benefit from:
Connecting solar inverters to the MNRE Central Portal requires more than reliable connectivity. It also requires enterprise-grade security. The DATOMS platform is built on a security-first architecture that protects data throughout its journey from the inverter to the cloud.
Key capabilities include ISO 27001:2022-aligned controls, a SOC 2 Type II operating environment, TLS/SSL encryption, a secure AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and continuous monitoring with audit logging.
By combining secure MNRE-compliant communication with enterprise-grade cybersecurity, DATOMS helps OEMs confidently manage connected solar fleets while safeguarding operational data at every stage.
Official MNRE registration is more than a technical milestone. It is a step toward a digitally connected solar ecosystem where generation data is consistently measured, securely transmitted, and reportable at national scale.
With TraDe Solar and the DATOMS Solar Inverter Monitoring Platform, OEMs can achieve MNRE compliance while gaining enterprise-grade monitoring, centralized fleet management, and a scalable digital foundation for future growth.
As India’s rooftop and distributed solar capacity continues to expand, solutions built for compliance from the ground up will enable growth that is not only faster, but also measurable, secure, and sustainable.
Whether you’re launching new solar products or preparing existing deployments for MNRE compliance, DATOMS and TraDe Solar help Solar OEMs simplify compliance, reduce development effort and accelerate deployment.
