Care about climate change and want to contribute to solve it? Aspire to shape and contribute to a fast-growing technology start-up as an early employee? This could be your opportunity.
At Solar AI, we want to use technology to simplify the solar experience for everyone. Solar AI provides building intelligence for rooftop solar projects, connecting property owners with energy companies to drive solar deployment in the region.
Solar AI is a seed stage start-up funded by and incubated as part of ENGIE Factory, the dedicated venture arm for ENGIE Group in Asia-Pacific with a mission to accelerate the transition to zero-carbon.
