Soliant Energy was founded in 2005 by a small group of former NASA engineers with the goal of providing the best solar solution for commercial rooftops. Today, Soliant is driven by an experienced management team focused on flawless execution and a highly innovative technical team with expertise from the automotive, semiconductor, and photovoltaic industries. The Soliant difference is a product that is engineered specifically for the demands of the commercial rooftop by a team that is uniquely qualified to deliver a reliable and cost-effective solution. Soliant is backed by a group of world-class investors including GE Energy Financial Services, Trinity Ventures, Convexa, Nth Power, Rockport Capital Partners, and Rincon Venture Partners. In 2007, Soliant was chosen by the US Department of Energy as a Technology Pathway Partner. Soliant has focused exclusively on commercial rooftops in hot, dry and sunny locations where Soliant provides the greatest amount of solar electricity in the smallest footprint. This is enabled by concentrating multi-junction cell technology together with integrated dual-axis tracking. The patent-protected design includes features that appeal to the large, existing channel of solar integrators, installers, and PPAs. A Soliant rooftop provides outstanding payback.
EcoSMART Technologies, the world leader in safe pesticide solutions, is a venture-backed company with patented technology and a world-class management team. Our mission is to create the world’s safest, most effective pesticides based on natural ingredients. We have 15 years of scientific research and a wealth of patents behind us. We make the only 100% safe insecticide that is proven to work. We offer the only complete line of EPA exempt pesticides sold in the US. EcoSMART was the first company to apply modern science to essential plant oils — creating the first 100% safe pesticides. Our products are based on the natural defenses that plants and trees have used for their self protection against insects and pathogens for millenia – essential oils. University research has shown that these oils attack octopamine neuro-receptors. Octopamine is a key insect neurotransmitter that regulates insect movement, behavior and metabolism. The blockage of the receptor activity prevents the transmission of the octopamine signals, which delivers quick knock down, kill and repellency against a wide variety of household pests such as cockroaches, ants, dust mites, flies, wasps, spiders, crickets, and fleas. Our blends of natural plant oils are every bit as effective as synthetic chemicals, killing bugs fast without any toxins or harmful residues.
