Planted is redefining ground-mount solar deployment by simplifying every step, from planning to power. By combining advanced software, high-density terrain-following arrays, and automated installation into one integrated platform, Planted empowers hyperscalers, developers, EPCs, and IPPs to unlock more land, lower costs, and cut time to power. With a smarter, streamlined approach, Planted expands site options, reduces execution risk, and improves financial returns—accelerating solar’s path to delivering true energy abundance. Planted is supported by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Piva Capital, and the United States Department of Energy.

Lunar exists to power homes around the world with endless clean energy. We believe that, provided with the right tools, a clean energy future is within reach. And to give people those tools, we’re building an ecosystem of all-electric products starting with a next-generation home battery system. Our Lunar System is a solar and battery product brilliantly designed to let you capture, store and use every ray of sunshine — day, night, and even during an outage. Every Lunar System comes with our AI-powered Gridshare software built in. This leading energy management platform controls any type of distributed energy resources (such as home batteries and EV chargers) to help homeowners maximize the value of their energy and optimize the wider power system. Recognizing our commitment and accomplishments, Forbes has named us one of Americas Best Startup Employers for 2023. Want to help us shape the future of clean energy? We’re looking for passionate and talented candidates to join our team.

Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation. To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. Were applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, were building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes. Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries. What we work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.
