Planted Solar offers an integrated hardware-and-software platform that generates optimized layouts, energy models, and engineering drawings while pairing terrain-following, high-density arrays with automated installation tools. Its system claims to cut land use roughly 50%, enable slopes up to 27%, use 70% less steel, and deliver projects about twice as fast, producing roughly 30% lower cost of energy. The platform targets developers, EPCs, and independent power producers to unlock sites previously infeasible due to grading or land constraints. Founded in 2020 and operating projects across the U.S., Planted is also ramping activity in Asia-Pacific and Europe. With this funding, the company intends to accelerate development of both its digital and hardware solutions, expand deployment capacity, and form strategic partnerships globally. The product focus is on improving project economics and shortening time to power amid surging U.S. solar demand and deployment challenges. Planted Solar sells a rapid solar power plant deployment platform that integrates development software, high-density terrain-following arrays, and construction robots. The company emerged from stealth and announced 11 MW of projects in the Chicago metro area in partnership with Cultivate Power. Its high-density arrays produce roughly 2x more energy per acre with a 2-acre-per-MW footprint and can be built on slopes up to 27%, avoiding grading. Planted Solar says its approach cuts balance-of-system costs by about 50%, reduces installation hours, and enables project throughput and completion times roughly 3x faster. The company has raised $20 million in Series A funding from Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Khosla Ventures and received a U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office award to support commercial launch and scale-up. Those funds and awards are being used to commercialize and scale the integrated hardware-software-robotics product and expand deployments. Planted Solar is headquartered in Oakland, California. Planted Solar develops a novel ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system along with balance-of-system components and an installation methodology aimed at utility-scale projects. The technology is intended to enable highly automated, rapid installation of solar arrays. Its design aims to lower the levelized cost of electricity, reduce land-use competition, and increase siting flexibility. The company was selected for federal support to demonstrate and validate the system at scale. Planted Solar’s project focuses on commercialization pathways to accelerate deployment and strengthen the solar supply chain. The team says the work will support next-generation solar manufacturing and installation practices.

VEIR designs superconducting power-delivery products that provide up to 10× the power of traditional cables at the same voltage, enabling a smaller electrical footprint for AI-focused data centers and higher-capacity transmission corridors. Its solutions aim to improve data-center efficiency, reduce server latency, simplify campus electrical designs, and enable existing transmission lines to carry significantly more power within the same corridor. VEIR targets customers across data centers, utilities, and renewable energy developers to accelerate grid resilience and global decarbonization. The company positions superconductors as a way to relieve interconnection bottlenecks and integrate new generation onto the grid. VEIR is based in Woburn, Mass., and is pursuing commercialization of its product portfolio. The company recently closed a major financing to support those commercialization efforts. Veir develops next-generation superconducting electric transmission technology designed to carry much higher electrical currents with negligible losses by cooling lines with liquid nitrogen. The company’s proprietary system aims to increase transmission capacity relative to the current grid while using existing rights of way, which can ease siting and permitting for developers. Veir operates an outdoor demonstration of its technology and is focused on delivering full product specifications for each subsystem. Led by CEO Tim Heidel, the company plans to use new funding to advance product development across its subsystems. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article. Veir is a Boston, MA–based company led by CEO Adam Wallen that develops an evaporative cryogenic cooling technology platform for high-temperature superconductor electricity transmission. Its platform is designed to increase the amount of power transmitted at lower voltages in smaller right-of-ways, connecting low-cost renewable resources to demand centers. The company raised a $10M Series A, bringing total funding to date to more than $12M. The round was led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, with participation from existing investor Congruent Ventures and new investor The Engine. Veir intends to use the capital to scale its team—hiring technical talent in cryogenics and the energy industry as well as operational and sales staff—and to begin developing and testing critical subsystems required for grid deployment. The company also plans to establish a physical development site in Massachusetts to support commercial development and testing.
