Grid Discovery: Cloud-based application

We love to work on highly specialized apps, especially ones that improve our world sustainably. Recently we built a tool for the solar industry to improve energy generation and community efficiency.

Grid Discovery is a premier web app for solar and energy professionals to maximize solar projects and turn existing buildings into community powerhouses.

We worked closely with the founder to build the app with these core features:

• Scanning areas to match prosumers with consumers based on the integration with Mapbox

• Building load profile management via rich load profile database or manual customization

• Combining buildings into scenarios to better understand the financial and technical trade-offs between various options and identify the best solution

• Google Solar API integration to fetch solar-related building data

• PVWatts API integration to estimate solar generation based on user capacity input

This app is a hit with professionals across various energy and technical sectors such as Alabama Power, Greener by Design, Techstars, and the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology Programs.

Grid Discovery is a promising and large-scale tool that will definitely achieve great success, and we at Paralect are proud to contribute to its development (and make our communities more sustainable too)
