Second Prize of 2020 “Eco-Innovation · Green Action” International Young Talents Innovation Competition
Project Name: Smart Solar Thermal System
Submitted By: Tianjin NE Technology Co., Ltd.


Smart Solar Thermal System comprises an auto-temperature-control solar collector, an intelligent integrated solar energy unit, and an intelligent solar heat storage tank. These products are designed to effectively address common pain points in traditional solar thermal systems, such as high heat medium loss due to overheating, rapid heat dissipation in residential water heaters, disorganised layout of equipment in mechanical rooms, poor construction quality, excessive operational noise, and inadequate O&M management. Through optimised design of the key technologies and integrated IoT automation control, the products have achieved significant improvements in intelligence, energy efficiency, and operational efficiency. While reducing the overall construction and operational maintenance costs of solar energy systems, the products substantially enhance system reliability and utilisation efficiency, thereby greatly increasing users' tangible benefits in adopting green energy solutions.



Tianjin NE Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the development and improvement of the renewable energy system technologies and equipment. It takes the comprehensive renewable energy applications as its core business to expand energy management services and continuously explores various integrated utilisation method of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, air energy and geothermal energy, to maximise the renewable energy utilisation and achieve optimal configuration. Since its establishment in the China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City, NE Technology has received multifaceted support from the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment and Development Co., Ltd. (SSTEC) and relevant departments of the Eco-City. By the end of 2024, the products of this project has been implemented in over 60 demonstration sites including Zhongfu No.2 Kindergarten and the Ecoland Han Academy, which has achieved a hundred tons of carbon emission reduction, saved about 30,000 kWh of energy, with a cumulative output value exceeding CNY 30 million and tax contributions reaching CNY 3 million. The smart solar thermal system series products have gained market validation and widespread client recognition. In addition, NE Technology maintains in-depth collaboration with professional institutions such as the China Association of Building Energy Efficiency and the Tianjin Eco-City Green Building Institute to actively promotes new technologies and share the project operational experiences. It has participated in drafting 3 industry consortium standards for solar thermal applications. Currently, NE Technology has secured more than 30 intellectual properties rights, multiple competition awards, and certifications from domestic authoritative institutions. It has been recognised as a National High-Tech Enterprise, National S&T SME, and Tianjin Eagle Enterprise.

Moving forward, NE Technology will integrate digital technologies into the comprehensive utilisation of new energy. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technologies and advanced data analysis methods, the Company will enable dynamic statistical calculation of renewable energy data, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and contributing to the development of green and low-carbon cities in the Eco-City.
