## About

Aether Energy Inc., formed in 2023, specializes in developing solutions for solar installation workflows. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, US. In October 2024, Aether raised USD 2.5 mn in Seed funding, led by A/O Proptech, with contributions from Amino Capital, Climate Capital, Collaborative Fund, and Y Combinator. Zayne Sagar (CEO) and Shelby Bons founded the firm.

Aether Energy Inc. offers a comprehensive platform designed for residential and commercial solar installers, facilitating the process of designing, selling, and managing solar installations. The core product is an AI-driven platform that automates solar design workflows, enabling users to create detailed solar plans. This includes automated panel placement, fire setbacks, and electrical wiring layouts. The platform also integrates a customer relationship management (CRM) system, facilitating deal management and data transparency for sales representatives and homeowners alike. Aether's solutions are targeted at installers operating in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France. 

Aether's revenue model is structured around a subscription-based approach, providing access to its AI-enhanced design and management features. Clients, primarily solar installation companies, engage with the platform by subscribing to access various tools and services that facilitate their business operations. The platform's capabilities include generating proposals for sales representatives and homeowners. Aether's pricing structure is designed to accommodate different levels of service and features, tailored for both small-scale and large-scale solar installation operations. It charges USD 14 per project for its business plan,    and USD 10 per project for its growth plan. Additionally, it offers an enterprise plan with customized pricing options.

In October 2024, Aether Energy Inc. raised USD 2.5 mn in Seed funding, which will be utilized to accelerate the development of its platform and to introduce a native solar design tool specifically for the European market. The company plans to expand its services into new markets, focusing on increasing its presence in Europe by the end of 2025. This expansion aligns with Aether's strategic objective to enhance solar installation efficiency on a global scale.
