Easy! They use data, algorithms and software to find the best solar opportunities. To do so we aggregate many sources of data like:
3D building data Solar radiation data
And many more: government incentives, electricity prices, demographic indicators, real-estate data, satellite imagery. Using this data and learning from previous installations our algorithms can find the buildings which will benefit the most from solar enery.
Our vision: Mapping the renewable energy potential of every house in the world!
We are a small team of passionate renewable energy enthusiasts. We also have over 32 years of combined experience in renewable energy (12 years) and web technology (20 years). We want to use those skills to help people make informed decisions on domestic renewables. When done right it can be profitable, empowering and make a real difference. We think the next 5 years are going to see an energy revolution.
