Where we stand
SolMod is an early-stage climate tech company moving from product development and energy modeling into first pilot deployments. Here is what has been built and what comes next.
Progress
Product concept and system architecture
Defined the core louver system: exterior-mounted PV blades, self-contained DC output, retrofit mounting frame, and optional ventilation module.
Energy modeling and peak analysis pipeline
Built a data pipeline for site-specific thermal modeling, peak demand analysis, and pilot scenario evaluation using DuckDB, OpenStudio, and local weather data.
Pilot framework and measurement methodology
Developed a structured pilot process covering site selection, baseline definition, deployment, and plain-language readout for procurement and decision teams.
Marketing site and lead capture
Launched the public-facing site with lead form, pilot brief, positioning materials, and observability (New Relic).
Pilot site conversations
Engaging with campus housing and multifamily operators to identify first pilot deployments. Focus on buildings with south/west-facing facades, comfort complaints, and limited rooftop solar.
First pilot deployment
Target: scoped installation on a single facade (4-20 windows) with monitored comfort, energy, and PV output data. Results will form the basis for expanded deployment planning.
What sets SolMod apart
Retrofit-first design
Purpose-built for the 80% of building stock that already exists. No window replacement, no structural changes, no building electrical tie-in.
Three functions in one system
Solar shading, natural ventilation, and photovoltaic generation from a single exterior-mounted assembly.
Pilot-ready methodology
Structured measurement framework with transparent assumptions, designed for procurement and decision team review.
Data-driven approach
Custom energy modeling pipeline for site-specific analysis — not generic savings estimates.
