Kanoda Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd. is a technology and innovation-driven renewable energy enterprise. With renewables entering the realm of economic viability, there are still several fundamental shifts required to realize their full potential. Today legacy systems dominate not only in terms of technology, but also within mind-sets. It is time we go back to the drawing board, and start implementing leapfrog strategies to outpace our mounting environmental concerns. Kanoda was a modest start-up by a couple of research scholars at Georgia Tech, but with a generous dream. Today, Kanoda boasts of a workforce that has played an active role in establishing over 1,500 MW of solar capacities, trained over 1,500 professionals & technicians, and helped shape major renewable policies and initiatives throughout India.
