Under the agreement Star is the exclusive provider of monitoring, diagnostics, tracking, security, and platform integration; Star will deliver an OEM-standard prototype module to be included in system certification, which is anticipated to complete by late January 2026. Aquagreen is in advanced talks for early deployments across countries in Asia, Europe and Africa. The integrated solution is slated for immediate global commercial launch after certification.
Positive
- Exclusive monitoring provider for Hydrotor generator systems
- Hydrotor capacity range: 25 kW to 1000 kW
- Certification target: full system including Star OEM module by late January 2026
Negative
- Commercial launch dependent on certification completion by late January 2026
- Early deployment discussions are non-binding and pending final agreements
Key Figures
Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
SNAVF was down 14.81% pre-news with low volume, while peers were mixed: XERI fell 7.5%, HLEO gained 18.83%, and DEWY/ETCC/TIKK were flat. Moves appear stock-specific rather than a coordinated sector shift.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 09 | Shares-for-debt financing | Neutral | -4.7% | Debt reduction via units and warrants to support Star-A.D.S.® operations. |
Limited history shows a prior shares-for-debt transaction on Jul 09, 2025 that coincided with a modest -4.71% move, suggesting financing news has drawn a mildly negative reaction.
Over the last six months, Star Navigation completed a shares-for-debt transaction on Jul 09, 2025, issuing 121,570,000 units at $0.005 to reduce debt by $607,850, with attached warrants at $0.05. A prior partnership on May 08, 2025 targeting roughly 300 operational aircraft and 250 on order in Africa saw a sharp -44.64% reaction. Today’s renewable-energy agreement adds another strategic partnership to this trajectory.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights Star’s move beyond aviation into renewable energy, using its monitoring and diagnostics platform in Hydrotor systems rated from 25 kW to 1000 kW. It follows earlier partnerships, including the May 8 aviation-focused deal that saw a -44.64% price reaction, and a shares-for-debt transaction on Jul 09, 2025 that reduced debt by $607,850. Investors may watch for certification by January 2026 and evidence of large-scale deployments.

Brampton, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 1, 2025) - Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (CSE: SNA.CN) ("Star" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Monitoring & Tracking Supply Agreement with Aquagreen Energy Systems Inc. ("Aquagreen"), which owns and has developed the Hydrotor Technologies concept, a next-generation magneto-fluidic renewable power systems designed for scalable, clean, and continuous energy generation.
This commercial agreement marks a major strategic expansion for Star into a new vertical, renewable energy, a sector with a substantially shorter sales cycle and near-term global deployment potential.
A New Vertical with Fast Commercial Adoption
While Star continues advancing its aviation analytics and monitoring products, the Company is now leveraging its real-time diagnostics, tracking, and system-intelligence platform to support renewable-energy systems.
Unlike aviation, adoption cycles can take longer due to the need to obtain Supplemental Type Certificates, scheduling with Airlines for installation and testing. The procurement in the renewable-energy sector typically moves from evaluation to purchase in weeks to a few months, making this a high-volume commercial opportunity for Star.
Under the Agreement, Star will serve as the exclusive provider of monitoring, tracking, diagnostics, security, and platform integration for Aquagreen's Hydrotor-based generator systems using the STAR-A.D.S.® System.
The Hydrotor Technologies concept, is a magneto-fluidic generator capable of producing 25 kW to 1000 kW of continuous power.
The system has undergone multi-year demonstrations and is gaining attention for its:
Clean, renewable operation
High efficiency and stability
Scalability across various industries
Suitability for both developed and emerging markets
Potential to reduce reliance on traditional energy sources
Aquagreen is currently in advanced discussions with several business groups and governments in countries such as Ethiopia, Turkyie, Bangladesh, Angola, Ghana, Nigeria, Trinidad & Tobago and Mauritius covering Asia, Europe, and Africa for early large-scale deployments.
Star's Prototype Will Become the OEM Standard
As part of the Agreement, Star's next deliverable is the development of a fully integrated monitoring and diagnostics prototype using the STAR-ISMS® software, engineered to become the OEM standard module within the Hydrotor generator platform.
This prototype will be included in the generator's overall system certification, anticipated to be completed by late January 2026.
Once both the Hydrotor system and Star's OEM module achieve full certification, the integrated solution will be launched immediately to global commercial markets.
Star's Monitoring & Intelligence Platform
Star will integrate its advanced analytics technology to provide:
Live system-performance tracking
Predictive maintenance capabilities
Environmental and boundary-breach sensor monitoring
Surveillance and security alerts
Real-time diagnostics and operational alerts
Web and mobile dashboards for continuous oversight
This intelligence layer enhances safety, improves operational reliability, and reduces maintenance downtime for global deployment.
Mr. Randy Koroll, CEO of Star Navigation, stated:
"Entering the renewable-energy vertical is a major achievement for Star. The sales cycle in this sector is faster than the aviation sales cycle, the demand is potentially global, and the scalability will be significant once certification is granted. By integrating our monitoring and diagnostics technology into Aquagreen's Hydrotor system, we are expanding our platform far beyond aviation while supporting the transition to clean, reliable renewable power across the world at the same time."
Mr. Mircea Vasile, Co-Founder, Project Manager, and Director of Aquagreen Energy Systems Inc., commented:
"We are extremely excited that Star is bringing its advanced monitoring, tracking, diagnostics, and safety-intelligence capabilities to the Hydrotor system. Their technology adds tremendous value - elevating security, strengthening the reliability of our intellectual property, and giving every generator a powerful layer of real-time oversight. This collaboration significantly reinforces our platform as we prepare for global deployment and the next stage of our expansion."
