NTT Smile Energy Adds "Remote Setting and Restart Function" to Ecomegane Equipment Checker

NTT Smile Energy Corporation (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President and CEO: Makoto Yoshida; hereinafter, NTT Smile Energy) has implemented a new "Remote Setting and Restart Function" for power conditioners (hereinafter, PCS) and smart meters, etc., as a new feature for its "Ecomegane Equipment Checker," which allows real-time confirmation of the operating status of solar power facilities. This service will be available starting today, May 13, 2026.

1. Background and Purpose

As renewable energy becomes a primary power source, the importance of operation and maintenance (O&M) to support the stable operation of solar power facilities is increasing. However, on-site responses are still required for fine-tuning during initial equipment setup and re-setting due to smart meter replacement by power companies. The costs associated with travel time, personnel expenses, and vehicle expenses put pressure on operators' profitability.

NTT Smile Energy aims to address these challenges and requests from distributors, construction, and maintenance operators with digital technology, realizing "remote maintenance without going to the site" and supporting the efficiency of O&M operations and the stable operation of facilities.
