Full description — before

Aether is an AI-powered end-to-end platform for rooftop solar and roofing installers in the US and Western European markets. Some of our innovations: - In-house computer vision and fine-tuned AI models built for solar - Rapid and accurate photovoltaic site design, 10x faster - Co-pilot for rooftop solar to streamline & automate various tasks for solar installers. Why it’s needed: Today, rooftop solar is still complex, expensive, and inaccurate. More than half of the cost of a rooftop solar project comes from soft costs. We started Aether with the sole aim of reducing solar soft costs. Our vision: Aether will be a big player in the young and emerging Solar software vertical, which has a projected 20B Global TAM up for grabs by 2025.

Summary

Aether has shifted from serving only rooftop solar and roofing installers to now providing an AI-powered GTM/front-office platform for a broad set of field service trades including HVAC, Landscaping, and Fire Mitigation. The core product concept (workflow/platform for contractors) is similar, but the target market is much broader—this is a significant change in customer focus, qualifying as a market pivot.
