Five solar start-up companies were named winners at SunShot Catalyst prize competition Demo Day on May 14 in San Francisco. The winners -- Gridmates, PVComplete, Savenia Solar Ratings, Solar Site Design, and UtilityAPI -- each took home $30,000 prizes to help advance their early-stage solutions towards commercialization. The winners were chosen out of 17 finalist start-ups who demonstrated their solar energy software solutions before a packed house and a panel of esteemed judges. Winners are eligible to receive up to $70,000 each in future funding with the goal of introducing their products to the marketplace in the coming months.
