Under the sun of Reunion Island, a small tech startup named Reuniwatt was born fifteen years ago, driven by a vision to harness the power of solar energy and mitigate the dependency on fossil fuels.
Reuniwatt was founded during a period when the population was growing and energy consumption on the island was escalating rapidly. The island had set ambitious goals for renewable energy, aiming to achieve energy autonomy. Recognizing the challenges posed by solar energy integration into the local grid, Reuniwatt focused on developing innovative solutions for solar irradiance forecasting. This pioneering spirit laid the foundation for what would become a market leader in energy meteorology.
From its inception, Reuniwatt prioritized research and development, creating cutting-edge technologies that would allow for accurate forecasting of solar and wind energy production. Their flagship product, Sky InSight™, revolutionized cloud cover observation and enabled real-time solar production forecasts. This innovation not only helps ensure grid stability but also empowers local businesses and communities worldwide to embrace higher shares of renewable energy confidently.
Reuniwatt has undergone significant evolution over the past fifteen years, and is now present in Renewable Energies, Defence and Space, and Atmospheric Sciences.
“Our achievements showcase how present-day actions could lead to a sustainable future. With plans for further advancements in cloud observation and forecasting technologies, Reuniwatt is set to play a pivotal role in the global transition towards sustainable energy. In celebrating its 15th anniversary, Reuniwatt not only honors its past achievements but also embraces the future with optimism. The company recognizes that the future indeed depends on what we do in the present—a guiding principle that will continue to inspire its mission for years to come.”
