Operating across seven countries, 25-plus U.S. states, and two Canadian provinces, SunSystem Technology (operating as NovaSource Power Services) manages over 30GW of solar assets - the kind of distributed, critical infrastructure that keeps power grids running. The threat surface is real: these aren't static installations. They're sprawling networks of inverters, monitoring systems, and data pipelines spanning utility-scale sites, where a compromised SCADA interface or poisoned telemetry feed can degrade performance or mask physical faults. The company has held the top global solar O&M provider ranking for six consecutive years, per Wood Mackenzie, which means the operational data flowing through its systems is both high-volume and high-stakes.
The technical stack leans heavily on data-driven performance analysis, advanced monitoring systems, and aerial inspection services - drones and imaging pipelines that feed back into centralized analytics. Add battery energy storage systems to the mix and the attack surface expands further: BMS firmware, grid interconnection protocols, and real-time dispatch logic all enter scope. Strategic supply chain management and value engineering round out the domains, touching everything from component sourcing to long-term asset optimization.
For security professionals, the draw is the convergence of OT and IT at scale - protecting energy infrastructure where uptime isn't a nice-to-have but a grid reliability requirement. The portfolio operates under a culture anchored in safety, integrity, and quality, which in practice means security isn't bolted on but embedded in operational workflows across solar and BESS assets globally.
