Company Summary

We offer a compact, mobile solar microgrid that is the equivalent of a 4kW photovoltaic array, with the ease of plug-and-play functionality. Our unit is modular and can be scaled for demand, up to large coordinated deployments across parking lots or disused agricultural land. As a self-contained appliance, our unit is ideal not only for homes and businesses but also for areas with unreliable or nonexistent grid connectivity. We democratize solar.
