The origin
Electrification won. Solar on the roof, a battery in the garage, an EV in the driveway, a heat pump in the wall — and a different app for each, none of them talking, all of them asking the homeowner to become a part-time grid operator.
We spent a winter reading tariff schedules and sitting in kitchens watching people ignore their energy dashboards. The insight held: nobody wants to manage energy. They want it managed. So we founded Solane — one controller that learns the house, watches the price of power, and quietly moves energy to the cheapest, cleanest hour.
Solane launched with a single promise on the box: stop thinking about kilowatts. Households keep the comfort; Solane keeps the schedule, sells the surplus, and sends one number at the end of the month — usually smaller than the one before it.
Solane feels less like an app and more like a good caretaker. Our members stopped thinking about kilowatts within a week.
