Su-Kam Power Systems. Su-Kam Power Systems Ltd. is an Indian power provider. The company offers power backup solutions for both domestic and industrial markets, with a focus on environmentally friendly energy sources such as solar power.

History
Kunwer Sachdev founded the company as a startup in 1988. In the power backup market, the company set a record for the highest export sales by an Indian company. Su-Kam introduced DSP sinewave inverters and plastic-body inverters in India, holding the distinction of filing the largest number of patents in the power backup industry, averaging two patents every month.

The company launched plastic body inverters, recognized by India Today as one of the top 10 innovations of the decade in 2010.  Su-Kam introduced India's first touchscreen solar PCU, featuring an MPPT solar charge controller and smartphone monitoring through built-in Wi-Fi.

Su-Kam introduced solar street lights with an in-built lithium-ion battery, which was more efficient than traditional lead acid based solar street lights.

In April 2023, Su-Kam Power signed an MoU with the Himachal Pradesh Govt. to invest Rs 300 crore to set-up an energy storage facility in Himachal Pradesh and is also considering entering the two-wheeler and commercial EV market.
