✦ AI Summary

H Energy and Peak Energy Korea are cooperating on the joint development of small-scale rooftop solar projects across the country.

H Energy will handle everything from securing rooftops to permitting, construction, and operations, while Peak Energy Korea will provide capital and establish an SPC.

H Energy will standardize development and operations using the AI agent Helios, SolarKit, Solar OnCare, and DERlink.

H Energy and Peak Energy Korea are cooperating on the joint development of small-scale rooftop solar projects across the country. H Energy announced on the 13th that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Peak Energy Korea for a "joint development project for small-scale rooftop solar power to support RE100 implementation."

Under the agreement, the two companies decided to jointly pursue small-scale rooftop solar projects to support RE100 implementation. Under the business structure, H Energy will handle the entire process from securing rooftops to operating the power plants, while Peak Energy Korea will provide capital.

H Energy will be responsible for securing rooftops nationwide that are available for development and for building and operating the power plants. After the agreement, it will also be in charge of identifying idle rooftops across the country and securing leasing contracts.

H Energy will also handle the full life cycle of the power plants, including permits and approvals, power plant construction, completion inspection, and asset management (O&M). It will therefore carry out the overall development and operation of the plants.

Peak Energy Korea will be responsible for providing capital. Peak Energy is a renewable energy independent power producer (IPP) wholly owned by Stonepeak, and it develops, owns, and operates renewable energy assets, including solar power, across Asia.

Peak Energy will invest in project costs and establish a special purpose company (SPC) to own the power plants.

H Energy is pursuing standardization in rooftop resource development methods and in power plant asset operation methods. It is also pursuing a strategy of using built power plants as investment assets that global capital can enter.

H Energy uses the AI agent Helios to assess the business feasibility of rooftops secured through SolarShare. Helios analyzes rooftop shapes using satellite and spatial data, evaluates site conditions, calculates module layouts, and estimates expected power output.

During the permitting stage, it supports the preparation and review of documents that meet the requirements of local governments and relevant institutions. Repetitive tasks for multiple rooftops nationwide are handled by AI agents, reducing initial development costs.

During the power plant construction stage, it standardizes the specifications of equipment such as modules, inverters, and structures, as well as installation criteria. H Energy provides the construction companies with a design and equipment procurement package called "SolarKit" to systematize development and operations, and uses the power plants it creates as assets in which outside capital can invest.

During the installation stage, construction partners comply with the specified criteria and install the power plants using SolarKit. H Energy inspects the installed power plants directly and guarantees both quality and power output at the time of installation.

Completed power plants are operated through "Solar OnCare." Solar OnCare continuously analyzes power generation and equipment conditions, and if any abnormal signs are detected, it diagnoses the cause and determines the necessary measures.

If on-site response is needed, the nationwide network of construction companies and electrical safety managers, DERlink, carries out inspections and restoration. DERlink's purpose is to protect the value of power assets.

H Euil-han, CEO of H Energy, said that large-scale renewable energy utilization of widely distributed small rooftops nationwide requires the handling of repetitive development tasks through a platform-based system. He also said H Energy will standardize the entire process from rooftop identification to power plant construction and operation through its platform and AI agents, and that this cooperation will help attract global capital participation to the rooftop solar market centered on Mohet. He added that by combining Peak Energy's capital strength and renewable energy asset operation capabilities, the company will pursue the conversion of distributed rooftops nationwide into power-generating assets that can be used to support corporate RE100 implementation.
