One-Liner
Annual photovoltaic panel health scanning service for Indian homeowners under the PM Surya Ghar subsidy scheme, sold to state electricity distribution companies as a compliance verification feed.
AI Thinking Process
Thread 10: India 16 GW rooftop solar. Panels older than 6 years ~25% of stock. No independent health report at home resale. Thermographic clip-on + MPPT tester + AI → expected production curve to 2035. €25 scan service.
No direct competitor. G002 flag. Reason: residential solar resale is still small in India and MENA. Pain is felt at insurance/subsidy verification, not at home sale.
Pivot: PM Surya Ghar subsidy verification for homeowners. MNRE February 2026 circulars hinted at verification mandate pilot. DisComs as primary customer.
Survived at 37%. Load-bearing claim: DisCom verification mandate (unverified speculation). Without regulatory pull, nice-to-have in price-sensitive market.
India 16 GW MNRE cross-verified. PM Surya Ghar 1M homes by March 2026 cross-verified. FLIR One/Seek Thermal prices cross-verified. 0.5-0.8%/yr degradation cross-verified. DisCom verification mandate: single-source SPECULATIVE — the load-bearing claim for the entire pivot.
Adoption barrier killed: DisComs solve today by NOT verifying. Politically toxic to enforce subsidy clawback on homeowners. Hidden benefit of status quo: DisComs don't want to know. India pattern: verification requirements written but unenforced. 18-month wait for a mandate that never arrives.
Kill Reason
The DisCom (distribution company) that would need to mandate and pay for verification has a structural incentive to NOT know which rooftops are underperforming — because knowing forces them to claw back subsidies from the same political constituency they serve. India's historical pattern is to write subsidy verification requirements that go unenforced. A founder would spend 18 months waiting for a mandate that exists on paper but not in enforcement.

killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
killed: Template epidemic (G003) + industry-pain-form death pattern (G005) fire simultaneously. 13+ existing compliance tools. A prompt could do 80% of this.
