Where power meets purpose
UpSol was founded with a goal to address both the business and societal needs for access to renewable energy in remote locations.
​​​
The technology that's allowing companies to reduce their energy costs and decarbonise operations is a viable reality and this translates to lower energy costs and increased earnings, while displacing dependence on fossil fuels for electricity.
​​​
Our energy solutions are underpinned by advancements intelligent manufacturing and software integration, that seamlessly coordinates solar generation and energy storage. With mobility and modularity in our ethos, our solutions can be rapidly deployed for various applications.
From our operations in Melbourne, Australia, we're proud to have been born out of the University of Melbourne's MAP Velocity Program in 2022, an Australian winner of the 2022 Climate KIC pitch competition and validated the ongoing need for electrification in remote communities in the developing world through a Master's Thesis on the Determinants and Prevalence of Energy Poverty in Senegal (2023).

Our Advisory Board is made up of leaders from Industry, Technology, Academia and NGOs helping steer UpSol towards a renewable energy future.
