At SOLR AI, our mission is to empower solar and battery installers with our innovative AI products, which automate the initial assesment and proposal process for renewable energy systems for residential homes. By harnessing our computer vision models, fuelled by a multimodal array of data including satellite and local weather, we aim to reduce the time, cost and complexity involved in installations, helping businesses to scale rapidly to meet the growing market demand for renewables while contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Launching our new renewable energy platform Enerwise
Learning first hand the process of finding information on residential renewable energy solutions then looking for installers for Solar PV, Battery and car charging. It became clear there were some considerable pain points experienced by both the customer and installer side from initial sale through to final install date. This experience catalysed the desire for solutions.

With the vision to leverage cutting edge AI to create a novel solution for the solar industry
A large library of ariel satellite images were manually annotated to segment each roof face and identify obstructions to train a region based convolutional neural network.
A team of 20 contractors were brought on, building a data annotation team in order to train a much larger library of roof tops to further train the computer vision model enhancing capability and accuracy.
Intensive research on market insights, the latest in research and technological innovation we could utilise, inc developments In open source computer vision models. Further development on our multimodal architecture. Further validation of the problem space and building our minimal viable product to bring to the market.
