Dahua Technology Advances AIoT Innovation for Renewable Energy at Intersolar Europe 2026
MUNICH: As renewable energy infrastructure expands worldwide, technology providers are increasingly focusing on intelligent digital solutions that improve operational efficiency, asset reliability and workplace safety. At Intersolar Europe 2026, Dahua Technology presented a broad portfolio of AIoT-powered solutions designed to support the evolving needs of the renewable energy sector under the theme “Visible AI in New Energy.”
The company used the exhibition to demonstrate how artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies can be integrated throughout the renewable energy value chain, supporting activities ranging from electricity generation and transmission to equipment management and end-user operations. The latest portfolio reflects the industry’s growing emphasis on digital transformation as operators seek to improve productivity while maintaining high standards of safety and sustainability.
Dahua highlighted five major solution categories during the event: Intelligent Security, Equipment Inspection, HSE-PPE Management, EV Charging and the Smart Control Centre. Together, these technologies are intended to help renewable energy operators manage increasingly complex infrastructure while reducing operational risks and maintenance costs.
One of the key showcases was the company’s intelligent perimeter protection solution developed for photovoltaic plants and other energy facilities. The system combines thermal imaging, radar-camera integration, multi-lens monitoring and solar-powered wireless security technologies to strengthen site surveillance across large installations.
According to Dahua, its proprietary thermal imaging algorithms extend detection capability by as much as 85 per cent compared with conventional approaches. The company also highlighted a photovoltaic project in Brazil where the deployment significantly reduced false alarms—from more than 1,000 alerts generated daily by 204 devices to approximately one false alarm per device each week. Similar AI-enabled perimeter protection technology has also been deployed at a 60 MW solar park in Romania.
Beyond site security, Dahua introduced intelligent inspection solutions designed for substations and geographically dispersed energy assets. The platform continuously monitors equipment temperature and operating conditions, allowing operators to identify potential abnormalities before they develop into equipment failures.
Inspection records and analytical reports are generated automatically, supporting predictive maintenance programmes while reducing the need for frequent manual inspections. The company said the approach enables operators to improve maintenance planning and optimise overall asset performance.
Workplace safety also formed a central part of Dahua’s exhibition. Its HSE-PPE management solution uses AI-powered detection systems to verify whether personnel entering restricted or hazardous areas are wearing the required protective equipment, including helmets and reflective safety vests. Both fixed and portable configurations are available, enabling flexible deployment across different operating environments. When non-compliance is detected, the system generates real-time alerts so corrective action can be taken immediately.
The company also expanded its focus on electric mobility by presenting AC charging solutions for residential users alongside DC fast-charging systems intended for commercial applications. Supported by a cloud-based management platform and mobile application, the charging ecosystem enables users to monitor charging status, schedule charging sessions and manage equipment remotely.
Bringing these technologies together is Dahua’s Smart Control Centre, built on the DSS Professional platform. The integrated system combines video surveillance, alarm management, inspection scheduling and historical data analysis into a unified operational interface, allowing operators to oversee multiple energy sites from a central location.
The company cited an implementation in Italy where its thermal perimeter protection solution and DSS Professional platform enabled centralised management of remote solar facilities before the deployment expanded to approximately 80 sites equipped with around 1,600 thermal cameras.
Through its participation at Intersolar Europe 2026, Dahua Technology reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the renewable energy industry’s digital transformation. The company said it will continue working with global partners to explore new AI applications that contribute to safer operations, higher efficiency and a more sustainable energy ecosystem as renewable energy infrastructure continues to grow worldwide.
