WE’EV Global is a provider of battery analytics for electric vehicles and solar energy systems. The company, which is based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, enables reduced energy system downtime through detecting anomalies via its modular and integrated software systems. The company is extended producer responsibility (EPR) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliant and utilizes intelligent analytics to extend battery lifespans.

In its solar energy systems business, WE’EV aims to help users improve energy efficiency by monitoring all components including inverters and energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize energy system operations. Key outcomes WE’EV achieves by minimizing downtime and preventing component failures include reduced downtime, improved return on investment (ROI) and shorter payback periods.

WE’EV’s IoT-enabled platform offers real-time monitoring, analytics and predictive maintenance to optimize performance and extend asset lives. With services including certificates and extended warranties, the company ensures reliability and efficiency, empowering customers to make data-driven decisions for sustainable energy management. When it comes to solar energy, WE’EV advanced analytics are helping to ensure reliable, safe and sustainable performance and optimizing renewable energy usage.

The company turned to Quectel to support LTE Cat 1 bis connectivity for its latest solar energy intelligent monitoring and remote control system. “Our goal is to manage batteries in smart way,” explains Huy Tran (David), Technical Program Manager at WE’EV Global. “Our intelligent monitoring and remote control solutions for customers’ solar systems help to reduce energy system downtime. Quectel provides the connectivity interface that enables us to provide smart monitoring in solar systems and connect IoT devices across a solar-powered IoT system.”

WE’EV, which currently sells its solutions and services in Vietnam and will shortly enter the Korean and other global markets will continue to deliver smart monitoring and control systems to help its customers optimize energy consumptions and costs. Quectel is supporting WE’EV with its EC200G-CN LTE Cat 1 bis module which delivers maximum data rates up to 10Mbps downlink and 5Mbps uplink. The module is ideal for IoT use cases such as automation, smart metering, point of sale (POS) devices, data sharing and other smart device applications.

The EC200G-CN has a compact form factor of 28.0mm x 31.0mm x 2.4mm and operates in the -40 to +85°C temperature range, making it an ideal module for supporting communication requirements in applications such as utility metering in addition to use cases that rely on cost-effective reliable connectivity.

“We’re delighted that WE’EV has selected the Quectel EC200G-CN to support its innovative solar energy smart monitoring and control system,” said Yasuyuki Okada, Senior Director Sales, APAC from Quectel Wireless Solutions. “It’s great to be able to help WE’EV bring LTE Cat 1 bis connectivity to its solution and enable customers with the latest capability to optimize energy usage while maximizing their ROI and the payback periods for solar energy systems. We look forward to supporting WE’EV as it expands into global markets.”

Huy Tran adds that WE’EV selected Quectel thanks to its strong technical support and documentation plus the competitive pricing it was able to deliver for the Quectel EC200G-CN module. “We have received a high quality LTE module at a reasonable price,” he confirms. “The Quectel team has had a good attitude and provided support promptly when we have needed it.”
