DIAGNOSTICS
SolarScope is a mesh network of full sensor nodes deployed across commercial roofs — measuring irradiance, shading, temperature, and humidity at every section. One sensor gives you a data point. A mesh gives you the whole roof.
Built for commercial-scale solar — large commercial roofs, installers, and EPCs.
Backed by investors, recognized by institutions, and built with enterprise-grade security.

We started out building software that organized data that already existed. It helped solar teams sort and prioritize. It was useful.
But it wasn't the real problem.
The real problem we found was this: most of the data that matters in solar doesn't exist yet. It's not a sorting problem — it's a missing-data problem. You can't organize what hasn't been measured.
We hit this personally on a previous venture, where we needed real site data on commercial properties and it simply wasn't there. Not in any database. Not from any satellite. Not anywhere.
We started asking commercial installers and EPCs why projects stalled at the proposal stage. The same answer kept coming up — the estimates weren't trusted.
Not because the models were bad. But because they were models — built on assumptions, not measurements taken on the actual roof.
That's when it clicked. We weren't going to solve trust by organizing data better. We had to generate the data — build the actual instruments that measure real, ground-truth conditions on-site.
So we shifted. We put down the spreadsheets and picked up the soldering iron. We started building hardware — weatherproof sensor nodes that deploy across roofs in a mesh network, measuring what actually matters: irradiance, shading, temperature, humidity.
Not estimates. Not models. Not satellite projections. Measurements.
That's what SolarScope Diagnostics is. Not a smarter dashboard — a hardware company for generating the data that was never there.
Based in Amherst, NY, we're a hands-on team that lived this problem before we set out to solve it. We're not here to sell you a smarter dashboard — we're here to put real instruments on real roofs and change what trust means in solar.
Every node is a full SolarScope unit — irradiance sensor, fisheye camera, temperature and humidity probes, local storage, and mesh radio. Deploy multiple nodes across a roof and they form a self-checking network that captures the conditions estimates can only guess at.
Each node measures actual sunlight hitting the panel's orientation — not a satellite estimate.
On-board fisheye camera maps exactly when and where shadows fall across the roof throughout the day and year.
Tracks ambient and back-of-cell thermal conditions that affect panel efficiency and lifespan.
Monitors moisture levels that impact long-term system performance.
Nodes talk to each other on-site via a local mesh network — no internet required to aggregate data.
Every reading is stored locally — data survives any connectivity loss, nothing is lost.
Plugs into a standard outdoor outlet. No batteries to replace, no downtime.
Real-time data streaming available as an upgrade option when you need it.
Node count scales with roof complexity and size — simple roofs need fewer nodes, complex roofs need more.
Rugged orange housing, brushed-metal sensor core, and a clear hemispherical dome — engineered to measure real solar conditions where it matters.
Tripod-mounted for open-site surveying and ground-truth irradiance capture.
Low-profile base seated directly on shingles for residential and commercial roofs.
Concrete-surface deployment with skyline obstruction mapping.
Every SolarScope node captures obstruction, thermal, irradiance, and placement data — stacked into a single ground-truth model of your site.

SolarScope isn't a single sensor — it's a mesh network of full sensor nodes deployed across a roof. Nodes communicate with each other on-site, measuring irradiance, shading, temperature, and humidity.
Every section of the roof gets measured, not estimated from one point. Large or irregular commercial roofs have varying conditions across their surface that a single sensor can't capture.
The mesh aggregates data on-site automatically. No manual collection, no waiting — the install survey moves fast.
Nodes cross-reference and average readings against each other, automatically flagging and correcting any single sensor giving a bad or anomalous reading. A single sensor can't self-check; a network does.
Using the fisheye camera and irradiance differentials between nodes, SolarScope pinpoints exactly where shading occurs and generates a yield analysis identifying high-yield vs low-yield zones. We don't estimate shading loss — we map it.
Built for commercial-scale solar — large commercial roofs, installers, and EPCs.
We lived this problem before we set out to solve it.
A world where every commercial solar decision is grounded in real measurements, not assumptions.
We envision a future where trust in solar estimates is never in question — because the data comes from the roof, not a satellite model.
Build the instruments that capture ground-truth solar data on-site.
We're building mesh networks of sensor nodes that measure real conditions — irradiance, shading, temperature — so commercial installers and EPCs can make decisions with confidence.
Close the trust gap that keeps commercial solar projects from moving forward.
Every measurement we take is one less guess. Every mesh we deploy builds trust in an industry that needs it. That's why we're here.
