Thomas Clardy, CEO of Powder Watts, is transforming how energy is managed in cold climates with his innovative rooftop snowmelt system. Powder Watts addresses a significant problem that has long gone unregulated—the massive energy consumption of traditional snowmelt systems that run continuously throughout the winter. By applying modern technology such as IoT, computer vision, and automatic switching, Thomas and his team have created a system that activates only when necessary, significantly reducing energy usage.
Thomas' innovation comes at a time when energy efficiency and green solutions are more important than ever. Powder Watts not only helps homeowners save on energy costs but also supports utility companies by stabilizing the grid during peak demand. With partnerships from industry giants like AWS and the National Science Foundation, Thomas is leading the charge in making smart, energy-saving technologies more accessible and impactful across the globe
