In the rapidly evolving renewable energy sector, one startup is making waves with groundbreaking innovation. Sunhygen Critical Innovations Pvt Ltd, founded by Captain Manmeet Singh, is set to transform the solar industry with its revolutionary product—the Power Enhancement Device (PED). This cutting-edge technology significantly boosts solar power production, extending its applications to solar power plants, green hydrogen production, and electric vehicles.
But behind this innovation is a journey marked by passion, persistence, and a strong belief in technological excellence. Captain Manmeet Singh, a former merchant navy officer turned entrepreneur, is leading this revolution. His vision? “Solar Power to the MAX.”
From the High Seas to the Innovation Lab: The Founder’s Story
Captain Manmeet Singh’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. After spending 22 years in the merchant navy, commanding large LNG tankers and working with industry giants like Qatar Gas, British Petroleum, Shell, and Tokyo Gas, he made the bold decision to step into the world of innovation and entrepreneurship.
“I hung up my sailor boots to consult in innovation technology,” he shares. His passion for groundbreaking ideas led him to author three books, one of which focuses on innovations from India. His co-founder, a highly decorated innovator, has received multiple awards from the President of India and the Innovation Foundation of India, and holds a doctorate from a prestigious French university for advancements in boiler technology.
Sunhygen Technologies: A Disruptor in the Solar Sector
Sunhygen Technologies was established in 2023 with a clear mission: to disrupt the solar energy sector with groundbreaking innovation. The startup’s flagship product, the Power Enhancement Device (PED), has been rigorously tested and proven to increase power production in solar parks by 30% and significantly reduce green hydrogen production costs by the same margin.
One of its most exciting applications is in the electric vehicle market. A standard electric truck, fitted with solar panels and Sunhygen’s PED, has demonstrated an incredible increase in range—from 100 km per charge to 300 km. Such a leap in efficiency could redefine the future of sustainable transportation.
“Our first device was successfully fitted in January 2024 in Rajasthan, and after a year of testing, we’re thrilled to confirm its complete success,” Captain Singh reveals.
Overcoming Challenges with Persistence
Like any pioneering innovation, Sunhygen’s PED faced its fair share of skepticism.
“Disbelief,” says Captain Singh, was their biggest challenge. “Most people couldn’t believe the technology we created.” But that didn’t deter them.
“We were stonewalled at every turn,” he admits. “Yet, we are now in advanced talks with major companies and expect to generate positive revenue soon.”
The team remains driven by an unwavering belief in their product’s potential to transform the solar and green hydrogen industries.
Breaking New Ground: Achievements & Milestones
Despite the challenges, Sunhygen Technologies has achieved significant milestones in a short period:
✔ Successfully installed and tested the first PED unit in Rajasthan
✔ Proven 300% efficiency boost in electric trucks
