About Us
PSAPLING Origins
- PSAPLING's co-founders, from Small Town, USA - Deer Lodge, Montana - have been friends since the 5th grade. After parting ways - one to Cornell to study Architecture and work as an Architect and Contractor, and the other to the U.S. Naval Academy to study Engineering and serve as a naval officer - they reunited decades later, only to discover that each believed decentralized solar was a key piece to solving climate change and energy security. And that it wasn't being done well. Months later, PSAPLING was born, a certified U.S. Veteran owned and operated company.
World's First MULTI-USE + ELEVATED Solar
- Think of PSAPLING like Solar Building Blocks that can stand alone or be networked with other Solar Building Blocks to provide lots of cool, fun, useful functions WHILE producing clean, zero-emissions power to electrify a home, building, or facility.
Passionate about Climate & Security-friendly Power
- PSAPLING is a patent-pending alternative to conventional roof-top or ground pole-mounted solar systems. PSAPLING exists to give far more home owners, institutions, and business owners a reason to say, "Yes!", to climate-friendly solar.
PSAPLING also works well with Roof-Top Solar
- PSAPLINGS can also be added alongside legacy solar systems like conventional roof-top and ground pole-mounted solar. Doing so can save one money, add value to one's home/building, and transform one's yard/premises into a more livable, usable space.
EV Charging Stations
- PSAPLING can support any type of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging - Level 1, 2, or 3. PSAPLING, depending on Level and time spent charging, can either fully or partially charge one's EV - ensuring minimization of front-end emissions as well as back-end. An orchard of PSAPLING's in a large parking lot can also help indicate to EV drivers where the EV Charging Stations are, while providing shelter/shade/benches/tables/lighting/USB as the EV is charging.
Bespoke Solar System
- PSAPLING allows a home, building, facility to be fully powered by solar in a subtle, discreet, bespoke way. One barely knows it's there. But the environment knows.
comparing solar systems
PSAPLING
- Multi-use; provides clean power AND other important uses (ie. patio cover, walking path, carport, garden cover)
- Aesthetically appealing; designed to blend into surroundings
- Does not take up limited yard space; one can move freely below canopy
- Distributed power generation throughout yard prevents single point failure (ie. damage from powerful storm)
ROOF-TOP SOLAR
- Roof pitch and/or condition may not support solar
- Mono-use (vs. multi-use)
- Panels concentrated together create single point failure potential
CONVENTIONAL GROUND POLE-MOUNTED SOLAR
- Requires sacrificing yard space for power generation
- Mono-use (vs. multi-use)
- Panels concentrated together create single point failure potential
