DIAGNOSTICS
SolarScope Diagnostics builds hardware that measures real solar potential on-site — because the data that matters in solar doesn't exist yet.
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.
