Our take
As one of many options in the move to decarbonize our energy grid, solar power has shot up in popularity in recent years. However, one issue that may discourage investment in solar systems is the lack of post-purchase performance management and analytics options.
This is where Omnidian steps in, with solutions for solar owners and operators - as well as investors with solar portfolios - to monitor and service their systems for maximum performance and ROI. A key component of the company's offering is in predictive, rather than reactive, maintenance, which is proven to reduce costs. It also supplies a performance guarantee where Omnidian will cover the shortfall if a system generates less than 95% of its forecasted annual energy.
With its rather unique approach to the solar market, Omnidian has gained a lot of attention and investment thus far and has been steadily expanding its operations since founding in 2015. Funding in 2023 will support further technical innovation; with plans to provide improved transparency into portfolio performance, job site status, and active remediations to clients. A B Corp certification lends it further credence as a trusted solar solution.
