We built this because our own solar was bleeding money.
Then we realized every solar home in California was doing the same thing.
In 2023, California changed the rules. Export payments dropped roughly 75% overnight under NEM 3.0. Akshat's family was losing money every month on solar they couldn't use.
Akshat wrote the software that sends that wasted solar to where it's actually needed — automatically, with any solar system and any EV, no new hardware.
That software became Tesphase.

Every kilowatt-hour of solar that gets wasted is a failure of software, not hardware.
The panels work. The cars are in the driveway. The missing piece is software that connects them.
Tesphase is that software — it works with any brand, needs no hardware, and gets smarter with every home it runs in.
