The clean energy revolution is upon us, with solar deployment skyrocketing and the Inflation Reduction Act injecting billions into the sector. But for large-scale renewable developers, navigating the complex web of permits, regulations, and data can be a major headache. That’s where Spark comes in.
Spark is an AI-powered planning and workflow tool built by industry veterans, Tae and Julia, who previously led teams at Tesla, Apple, and Brex. Tired of the manual, time-consuming processes hindering development, they created Spark to streamline the pre-construction phase.
1/7 We launched Spark on @ycombinator! It’s always been a dream to build software that powers society. As a teenager, I wrote a proposal for my high school to go solar and invited installers on campus. In 2018, I saw Brazil’s diesel crisis adversely impact my family’s business https://t.co/emWQ3Et1MP

Here’s how Spark ignites the clean energy revolution:
- Lightspeed Data Analysis:Â Ditch the weeks of sifting through PDFs and websites. Spark’s AI extracts key information from thousands of sources in seconds, identifying requirements, risks, and incentives for potential projects.
- Unprecedented Insights: Large Language Models (LLMs) power Spark’s analysis, providing deep insights into grid interconnection, permitting, zoning, economics, and more – all tailored to specific locations.
- Effortless Workflow:Â Spark goes beyond data. It automates tedious tasks like research, documentation, and portfolio management, freeing developers to focus on strategic decisions and building relationships.
- The Dream Team: Tae and Julia bring their diverse expertise to the table, combining experience in engineering, finance, and product development – a potent force for clean energy innovation.
The result? Spark empowers developers to break ground faster, make smarter investment decisions, and accelerate the clean energy transition.
Ready to join the revolution? If you’re a developer of utility or community-scale solar/storage projects, book a demo or reach out to Spark and learn how they can help you electrify the nation’s grid, faster and smarter.
