Simble Solutions Limited announced that it is extending its exclusively licensed NanoSensor platform into solar sensing applications, initially targeting terrestrial solar performance monitoring and leveraging its existing SimbleSense and SimbleEnergy capabilities. The announcement says the move builds on previously demonstrated multi-band optical detection across UV-A, UV-B, UV-C and visible wavelengths, allowing Simble to address limitations in conventional solar monitoring such as bulky hardware, high installation costs, recalibration needs and the masking of localised faults within string- or array-level data. Simble states that the NanoSensor’s sub-millimetre form factor, ultra-low power consumption, wavelength precision and molecular-level sensitivity could enable dense panel- or cell-level monitoring, with benchmark testing now underway under solar-relevant conditions as part of its broader five-stage NanoSensor development program. The company also highlights that NanoSensor-derived data is intended to integrate into its existing SimbleSense and CarbonView software ecosystem, creating a more direct commercialisation pathway for customers already using its platforms. In addition, Simble identifies longer-term optionality in space-based solar monitoring and related AI-driven power demand infrastructure, while noting that these applications remain subject to further characterisation and commercial validation; the company frames the opportunity against large addressable markets in PV monitoring, solar panel monitoring, space-based solar power and the broader Industrial IoT sector.
Key Points
Simble is extending its exclusively licensed NanoSensor Technology into solar sensing applications with an immediate focus on terrestrial solar performance monitoring.
The initiative builds on Simble’s established solar monitoring and energy visualisation capabilities through SimbleSense and SimbleEnergy.
The NanoSensor has demonstrated reliable detection across UV-A, UV-B, UV-C and visible wavelengths, supporting its suitability for solar sensing applications.
Simble believes the NanoSensor can address shortcomings of conventional solar monitoring, including bulky hardware, high installation costs, recalibration requirements and masked localised faults.
The platform is designed for compact, ultra-low-power, sub-millimetre sensing that could enable panel- and cell-level monitoring subject to validation.
The solar sensing pathway enters the NanoSensor program at the benchmark testing stage rather than starting from initial fabrication.
Simble intends to integrate NanoSensor-derived solar sensing data into SimbleSense and CarbonView rather than build a separate software platform.
Targeted application areas include solar performance monitoring, UV and visible light sensing, remote and off-grid deployment, embedded dense-array sensing and longer-term space-based solar use.
The company cites projected market opportunities in PV monitoring systems, solar panel monitoring, space-based solar power and the broader Industrial IoT market.
Simble is also monitoring space-based solar and AI-driven power demand as longer-term opportunities, while prioritising terrestrial applications first.
CEO Fadi Geha said the expansion is a logical extension of Simble’s existing commercial operations and broader technology direction.
The announcement states that Simble acquired exclusive rights to the patented NanoSensor Technology in December 2025 and is evaluating its commercial potential across multiple applications.
