The energy shift
From central plants to millions of rooftops.
As the electric power shifts from centralized power plants to millions of rooftop systems, the industry needs a smarter way to monitor, diagnose, and ensure the safety of the people.
Our first product line
Introducing Solar Sense.
Solar Sense is a smart safety device engineered to make rooftop solar safer, smarter, easier to monitor, and easier to maintain.
Solar Sense transforms each solar panel into an intelligent, controllable, safety-aware node — detecting faults in real time and enabling rapid shutdown when it matters most.
What it does
Four jobs, one panel-level platform.
Solar Sense brings together what the industry has tried to solve in pieces — sensing, diagnostics, safety, and architecture — into a single device class designed for distributed solar.
02
Real-time fault detection
Machine-learning models identify shading, hotspots, electrical anomalies, and early degradation as they happen.
03
Integrated safety control
Built-in switching enables rapid shutdown — protecting firefighters, technicians, and building occupants on demand.
04
Scalable module architecture
One device per panel, designed for residential, commercial, and research installations alike.
Why it matters
Rooftop solar runs at dangerous voltages.
Residential and commercial solar systems operate at dangerous DC voltages — and even when the grid is down, panels keep producing electricity. That creates a serious safety risk for the people closest to the system.
Solar Sense closes that gap with sensor and machine-learning technology that makes rooftop solar smart and safe — detecting faults in real time and enabling rapid shutdown to protect the people on every rooftop.
Join us in making rooftop solar smarter and safer.
Firefighters
Rapid shutdown gives emergency responders a safe path to the roof.
Maintenance crew
Module-level visibility and rapid shutdown help protect maintenance crews from dangerous DC exposure while they troubleshoot and service the array.
Building occupants
Safer rooftop solar for the people who live and work under it every day.
