The dumbest electrical load on the planet Nobody was controlling it — until now
US heat cable wastes 140 TWh of electricity a year — rivaling every data center in the country combined. Seventeen nuclear reactors worth of power, running all winter, heating roofs that don't need it. PowderWatts cuts 80%+ of that load with a switch and a sensor.

Out-of-Pocket After Rebate
Deer Valley Resort case study: $62k install → $56k utility rebate → $5,700 net customer cost across 4 buildings. ~$22.5k/year net · payback in under 3 months.

Per commercial property, based on portfolio data. Larger properties like The Lookout at Deer Valley see $1.4M+ over 10 years. The system pays for itself in months — then keeps paying.
How It Works
Dumb Wire, Running All Winter
Heat cable on roofs runs 24/7 — no sensors, no monitoring, nobody watching. Wasted energy. $35k+/year on large commercial and multifamily properties.
PowderWatts Installs Smart Switch + Sensor
AI watches the roof. Cable only runs when it needs to. 24/7 monitoring catches failures before they cause damage. The utility writes a check for most of the install.
Building Saves 80%+. Every Winter.
Payback in months. After that it's pure savings — the building just stops bleeding electricity. Every winter, permanently.
No Real Competition
"Aren't there already controllers for this?"
Temperature and snow-sensor systems exist. They're ineffective — they react to weather, not the roof. They can't tell you if a breaker tripped, a cable failed, or the system ran all night for no reason. PowderWatts watches what's actually happening.
There's no real equivalent on the market. Two issued US patents — with a third pending — make sure it stays that way.

Beyond Savings — A Grid Asset
Energy is getting scarce. AI, electrification, and years of underinvestment have the grid stretched thin. Every megawatt matters now. Heat cable is one of the largest uncontrolled loads out there — millions of heating elements bleeding hard-generated electricity back into the atmosphere all winter. PowderWatts turns that into a real grid asset. Dispatchable capacity worth $100–200k per megawatt per year, the same value tech giants are spending billions to build from the generation side. Federal programs and state legislation are already moving the same direction.

The Opportunity
$8M Series A Round — Open Now · Targeting Q2 2026 Close
One market live. Patented. Approaching $1M in revenue. The broader market barely knows this exists yet.
The exit path is clear — utilities and energy platforms acquire what they can't build fast enough. We have the IP, the installed base, and the data. This round funds the expansion from one market to many.
$5.3M raised to date (seed + notes + grants). $8M Series A closes this out.
