Solar Pivot Power was founded by three engineers from Austin and Wabasha—two places with very different perspectives, and exactly the balance this project needed.
After an off-grid camping trip revealed how unreliable portable power could be, the question became simple: could we build something better? Answering that meant combining deep technical experience with real-world practicality.
Austin brought the technology.
Wabasha—proudly the Home of Grumpy Old Men—brought the common sense.
Engineering That Lives Outdoors
Our team’s background spans decades of engineering work, from developing early internet switches and routers to leading large-scale software and systems architecture projects.
Building the pSolBot portable solar tracker required blending:
- Systems and mechanical engineering
- Embedded software and sensor control
- Solar geometry and real-time tracking logic
- Select machine-learning techniques to improve performance
This wasn’t just a solar product—it was a robotics problem designed to live outside.
Tested Where It Matters
Prototypes were tested in backyards, campsites, and open land—not just on paper. Wind, dust, uneven ground, and long days in the sun shaped the final design as much as code did.
Austin helped make it smart.
Wabasha made sure it stayed practical.
At Solar Pivot Power, we build serious technology with no nonsense—machines that quietly do their job and don’t ask for babysitting.
