What Green Power Labs does

Green Power Labs is a privately held Canadian SaaS company founded in 2004 that develops predictive energy management software for solar power generation, buildings, grids, and cities. The company's core technology stack combines satellite-based solar resource mapping (SolarSatData™), in-house numerical weather prediction models, GIS-based decision support, and AI-based building energy models. The platform operates across three forecast horizons: strategic planning (up to 25 years), deployment (1-5 years), and real-time operations (next minute to next day). Its flagship product, EntroPBC™, is a predictive building control solution that integrates with existing building management systems to optimize HVAC energy use in real time, claiming 10-25% average HVAC energy cost reductions and up to 40% in some deployments.

The company serves four primary customer segments: utilities and grid operators (notably San Diego Gas & Electric, where it forecasts distributed PV generation for 20,000+ assets integrated with a distribution management system), commercial and institutional building owners, solar project developers and investors requiring bankable solar resource data, and municipal governments and institutions. Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions for predictive energy analytics, share-of-savings outcome-based fees for EntroPBC, and professional services for solar resource mapping and due diligence. Green Power Labs operates a global footprint with wholly-owned subsidiaries in the USA, Australia, China, and Hong Kong, and has secured patents in Canada, the United States, and the European Union. Strategic partners include MR Control Systems International (smart building automation), the Zhongguancun Optoelectronics Industry Association (China market access), and the Town of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, which it supported in winning Canada's $5 million Smart Cities Challenge.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (for utilities, municipalities, and large building portfolios) with a product-led growth motion via EntroPBC's zero-upfront-cost, share-of-savings pricing. Marketing is driven primarily by thought leadership, including IEA Task Force participation (Task 46, 51, and 63), peer-reviewed white papers, and presentations at international industry conferences. The company has no disclosed institutional funding since 2017, suggesting bootstrapped or organically funded growth, and operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees led by founder Alexandre Pavlovski (PhD, Power Conversion) as President and CEO.
