Unfold BASALT, plug it in, and reclaim some control of your power bill.
A modular home solar appliance designed specifically to crush your household’s baseline vampire loads while you are at work. No structural drilling. No utility red tape. Just clean, honest engineering.
The 800W Double-Power Bundle
Two ultra-rugged, weather-shielded bifacial glass solar panels combined with an integrated, user-accessible microinverter chassis. Designed to unfold on any balcony, deck, or ground bracket in 5 minutes flat.
Our Engineering Ethic: Scientific Integrity First
Most solar marketing promises full off-grid energy freedom or demands you buy massive, hazardous battery stacks. We refuse to sell those fantasies.
The Day-Shift Reality
Instead of trying to power heavy overnight resistive loads like stoves or heat pumps, BASALT targets your daytime "vampire loads" while you are away at work. Your refrigerator, internet routers, surveillance systems, and standby appliances draw power non-stop. BASALT cancels that baseline cost.
Over-Paneled for Thermal Loss
Solar cells drop in generation efficiency as their surface heats up under midday sun. By provisioning **1,000W of raw DC solar panel area** onto an **800W continuous AC microinverter**, our system stays fully pinned at its peak AC output limit even during high-heat efficiency drops.
Right-to-Repair Architecture
BASALT is designed with the opposite ideology. It is an integrated system of readily available parts: Every subsystem including the microinverter, wiring, panels, and hardware is fully accessible. Nothing is hidden. Fully open source parts and equipment with full OEM factory warranties. You own the hardware. You control your maintenance.

Your Vampire-Load Impact
0W OffsetBased on your hardware selection and regional modifiers, the following household components can be fully or partially covered while you are at work. When the sun is up, you run these appliances directly from BASALT:
Technical Ledger & Transparency Standards
We don't hide our specs. No custom locked protocols or dynamic cloud-only platforms. Standard parts, heavy duty build quality.
Electrical Specs (Per Panel Array)
Upgradability Ledger
Traditional grid-tied solar systems require proprietary field engineers for every minor system component breakdown. If your proprietary solar company goes bankrupt, your warranty disappears.
