SolMod mounts outside existing windows to block overheating, restore airflow, and generate electricity — no glass replacement required. Comfort-first retrofit technology for the 80% of buildings that are existing stock.
TowerWatch is the operational view: real-time PI data, anomaly detection, building-by-building visibility into where cooling load actually lives. SolMod is the retrofit hardware that intercepts solar gain at the facade — exterior louvers that shade, breathe, and generate, on the buildings TowerWatch shows are bleeding cooling cost at peak.
Louvers reject heat before it reaches the glass. Exterior shading can eliminate up to 90% of solar gain at the facade — interior blinds and films only manage heat after it’s already inside.
Adjustable louver angles allow natural ventilation through the existing window opening. Airflow returns without compromising shading.
PV-integrated louver surfaces produce clean DC electricity right at the point of cooling-load reduction. The same square meter does double duty.
Mounts to existing windows — no glass replacement, no facade rebuild. Designed for the 80% of buildings that are existing stock and won’t be torn down.
SolMod targets the buildings TowerWatch already shows are demand-driven and overheating — windows-first instead of HVAC-first. Every deployment ships into TowerWatch’s data model.
Thermal discomfort is the #1 occupant complaint in commercial buildings. SolMod is designed around comfort outcomes, with energy generation as the second-order benefit.
The instrumentation problem (TowerWatch) and the comfort-retrofit problem (SolMod) are the same problem viewed from different ends. Windows drive up to 40% of cooling load; thermal discomfort is the #1 occupant complaint. TowerWatch surfaces both signals in the data.
If TowerWatch shows a building overheating at peak with cooling cost climbing year over year, SolMod is the answer to "what do we put on the windows?"
