Peros Industries

What Peros Industries does

Peros Industries is a privately held early-stage hardware company that designs and sells the Solar Bear, an integrated solar-powered air conditioning system aimed at residential consumers. The product combines photovoltaic capture, on-board battery storage, and a connected mobile app (the PI App, available on Android and iOS) into a single outdoor unit, eliminating the need for a separately installed AC and solar array. Stated technical specifications include a Coefficient of Performance of 12.5, 3.5 kW of cooling capacity, and the ability to deliver over 4 kW of thermal output using 1 kW of electricity, with automatic switching to grid power when solar energy is unavailable.

The company sells the Solar Bear through a direct-to-consumer pre-order model via its website, with pricing not publicly disclosed; prospective buyers must contact the company to secure a unit. Revenue mechanics currently center on a one-time hardware sale that bundles three years of annual maintenance and replacement air filters, an optional recurring filter subscription (delivered every 4–6 months post-warranty), and a professional installation service performed by in-house trained technicians (currently offered free to first customers). The brand narrative is mission-led around residential sustainability, and the company claims a global footprint while maintaining a small team (1–10 employees).

Peros Industries is headquartered at En Rueta 13, CH-2035 Cormondreche, Switzerland (per the disclosed address), operates with a US contact number (+1 408 887 9949), and is led by founder and managing director Paul Peros. The company has not disclosed revenue, remains at pre-order stage, and has raised approximately $650,000 across two 2018 funding rounds (July 2018: ~$350,000; December 2018: ~$300,000), with no institutional investors publicly identified.

Core offering

Peros Industries designs and sells an integrated solar-powered air conditioner (the Solar Bear) that combines photovoltaic capture, on-board battery storage, and a connected mobile app into a single outdoor unit delivering residential cooling and heating. The company sells the unit directly to households via a website pre-order model, bundles three years of maintenance and replacement filters with purchase, and provides in-house installation.

Product overview

Peros Industries offers a single integrated solar air-conditioning offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product is the Solar Bear (Solar AC), a single-installation outdoor unit that captures solar energy into an integrated battery and provides cooling and heating with a stated COP of 12.5 and 3.5 kW cooling power. The PI App (App Controller) is the companion mobile application for Android and iOS that ships with the Solar Bear, providing remote system control, energy performance monitoring, maintenance scheduling, and remote diagnostics. Together, the Solar Bear hardware and PI App form a unified product set aimed at cutting residential cooling electricity consumption by leveraging on-site solar generation.
