Your Solar,
On Autopilot.
Protect and maximize your solar investment with SolCare. We ensure that your solar panels operate at optimal efficiency with our smart AI powered monitoring, preventive maintenance and professional cleaning.
Professional Cleaning
AI scheduled removal of nearby salt spray, pollen, and debris to maximise yield.
Preventive Maintenance
Regular asset health checks to prevent hardware failure and downtime.
Intelligence & Monitoring
Real time data analysis comparing your output to local weather baselines.
ROI Optimisation
Detailed reporting on energy recovered and actual financial performance.
The AI that talks to your roof.
Sola is your always on personal AI companion at the core of SolCare. It reads your live inverter data, cross references live local weather conditions, particulate matter (PM), and temperature data daily, and notifies you directly, not just when something's wrong, but to keep you informed about how your system is performing and what it's worth.
Diligent Analysis
Sola monitors your output daily and separates real soiling from hot weather, shading, and seasonal dips, so you never get a false alarm.
Accurate Forecasting
Rather than waiting for a problem, Sola predicts when soiling will cross the threshold and suggests the optimal clean date before output takes a real hit.
Suggestive Booking
Sola suggests a date, you pick a time and confirm the booking in chat. One tap and your vetted pro is dispatched automatically.
Pre-seed
AI powered solar asset management, built for the world. Seeking investment to complete the product build, launch in New Zealand, and establish the model before scaling.
01 · The problem
A silent leak in every solar system.
Soiling from salt, pollen, dust, and debris cuts solar output by 10-30%. Most owners never know it's happening. They clean when it looks dirty, or when someone knocks on the door. No data. No timing. No verification that the clean actually worked.
- Soiling reduces output by 10-30%, continuously
- Owners rely on guesswork to decide when to clean
- Cleaning is reactive and uncoordinated
- Lost yield compounds over weeks and months
02 · The product
Sola. The intelligence layer your solar system never had.
Sola connects to your inverter, reads your system's production, irradiance, live weather and air quality data, and tells you exactly what your system should be producing, and precisely when soiling is to blame. Then it books the clean
- Direct inverter sync, no hardware required
- Daily output compared against modelled irradiance and local conditions
- Soiling isolated from heat loss, shading, and seasonal variation
- Forecasts the optimal clean window 5-14 days out
- One tap booking, automatic dispatch via local partner network
- Cleaner reports back with thermal imaging checks and maintenance notes
- CO₂ offset logged for every kilowatt recovered
03 · Market opportunity
Residential and commercial solar is scaling. Maintenance hasn't caught up.
Millions of solar systems are installed each year, yet the maintenance market remains largely undigitised. No AI native platform to close the loop from performance monitoring to managed cleaning.
- Australia has 4 million+ rooftop solar installations, the immediate adjacent market
- The solar maintenance market is untouched by software
- No platform combines AI monitoring, soiling forecasting, and clean dispatch in a single product
- SolCare enters as the category defining platform
04 · Where we are
Building now.
SolCare is in active development. We're building the core architecture, inverter sync, AI output model, and the Sola conversational interface for a New Zealand waitlist launch.
- Inverter integration and output modelling: in development
- Sola conversational interface: in development
- Cleaner network: recruiting operators in Auckland
- Waitlist live, NZ established as initial launch market
- Australia scoped as the next market
05 · Go-to-market
Start focused. Scale regionally.
Phase 1
NZ Launch
Waitlist driven controlled rollout. Target solar owner communities, residential and commercial. Validate unit economics and train the AI model with real world data.
Phase 2
Australia
4M+ rooftop solar installations. Same soiling conditions, same language, same maintenance gap. Expand with a proven model and a trained cleaner network.
Phase 3
Platform
Open the infrastructure to installers who want to offer monitoring as a service. Scale the cleaner network through a mix of contracted teams and local partnerships.
06 · The founder
Built by someone who's done the work.
Shalum Samuels
Founder
7+ years in New Zealand's solar industry, from technician to system design, across residential, off-grid and RV installations. I observed how soiling silently erodes panel performance and how disconnected the maintenance side of the industry was from real performance data.
That technical experience pushed me into software development. As a solo founder and developer building SolCare from scratch, bringing industry expertise and product building experience to solve the same problem.
How SolCare. Works
Sola handles the complexity. You stay in control.
Sync Your System
We sync directly with your inverter to pull real time peoduction data. No hardware required, just a simple digital 'handshake' and Sola gets to work.
Sola Monitors 24/7
Sola analyses your output daily against live local weather, temperature, and air quality data so it knows the difference between an efficiency drop caused by a hot day and dirty panels.
Proactive Updates & Alerts
Sola messages you with regular performance updates, early soiling forecasts, and a clean recommendation, complete with ROI math before your output takes a real hit.
One Tap Booking
Sola suggests the optimal clean date, you confirm the time, and it handles dispatch automatically. Your vetted local cleaner is sent out to you, no back and forth needed.
Maximum ROI,
Zero Effort.
SolCare was founded on the principle that solar energy is an asset, not just a utility. A dirty panel isn't just a maintenance chore, it's a silent leak in your financial and environmental investment. Over time, debris build up can lead to permanent surface degradation, decreasing your panels lifespan.
We are a Solar Asset Management and Preventive Maintenance Platform and Sola is the intelligence at the centre of it. By combining your live inverter data with local weather patterns, particulate matter readings, temperature derating models, and regional grid emission factors, Sola knows exactly what your system should be producing at any given moment and flags the difference when soiling is genuinely to blame.
When Sola confirms a clean is worth it, it tells you why with the ROI worked out and handles the booking from end to end. Your vetted local pro is dispatched automatically. No forms, no phone calls, no guesswork.
Through our carbon tracking integration, every kilowatt you recover from soiling is logged as a real CO₂ offset, putting a number on what clean panels actually contribute to a cleaner grid.
