| SMASHsolar | SMASHsolar breaks down barriers to solar for homeowners and contractors. The biggest barriers to solar adoption are cost and complexity. We have developed a simple, snap-together solar module that installs 2x faster than conventional solar, significantly reducing labor skill, labor cost and increasing crew throughput, which result in lowerinstallation costs. Since the SMASH system is easy to expand, homeowners can buy a what they need today and upgrade when they want more power. | $1M | Convertible Note | Jun 04, 2017 | http://smashsolar.com |
