enSights, a cloud-based clean energy optimization and management platform company, announced that it raised a $10 million Series A funding round, co-led by venture capital firms JAL Ventures and XT VC, with the participation of the Menomadin Foundation.
The funding will support the company in expanding its global footprint, especially in the US market, by establishing local headquarters and hiring a team of industry professionals. In addition, the company will continue strengthening its ecosystem of SaaS solutions that simplify the business of energy management and optimization.
Experienced renewable energy entrepreneurs Alon Mashkovich (CEO) and Roy Fadida (CPO) co-founded enSights in 2021 with Dekel Yaacov, CTO, to develop a 360-degree AI-based energy optimization and management platform that scales business operations while maximizing the financial and energy performance of renewable assets.
Since its founding, enSights has become the local market leader in the distributed generation segment and expanded into the European market in 2022. With hundreds of active users managing over 1.6 GWp on enSights’ platform, its automation and intelligent workflows help optimize the daily operations of over 6,000 clean energy assets. Already a financially stable company, this latest funding raise ideally positions the company for sustained long-term growth.
enSights previously raised over $2 million in total investments from The Big Light Renewable Energy Holdings and Kahane Group, an electric, electronics, and home automation systems designer and a leading local solar energy distributor.
KEY QUOTES:
“Seeing that over 70% of PV assets do not meet their forecasted output, losing thousands of dollars every day, it was clear that the market was in dire need of a sophisticated yet simple-to-use energy optimization platform. Our extensive conversations with clean energy stakeholders reinforce that asset owners and managers are searching for a next-generation solution to help scale their portfolios, streamline operations, and address increasingly complex energy needs. This latest investment is yet another vote of confidence that enSights has an upward trajectory in a global market that is forecasted to grow to six TWs of installed capacity by 2030.”
