About Inventive Power

Inventive Power develops and installs solar concentration technology for industrial and commercial clients to reduce operational energy costs. Founded in March 2010 by Aldo Agraz, Ángel Mejía Santiago, and Nydia Godoy, the company is headquartered in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. The co-founders, Agraz and Mejía, met while studying Mechatronics Engineering at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where their shared interest in renewable energy led to the development of a solar concentration technology as a university project. They later pursued Master's degrees in Energy Engineering to deepen their expertise before formalizing the company. Nydia Godoy, with a background in accounting, joined in late 2011 to manage the administrative and business aspects.

The company's core product is the Power Trough 110, a linear parabolic solar concentrator that generates thermal energy between 60-200°C. This technology is designed to provide process heat for applications such as hot water, steam generation, and dehydration, directly replacing the need for fossil fuels like natural gas, diesel, or fuel oil. Inventive Power states its technology can reduce fuel consumption for heat generation by up to 80%, offering clients stability in energy costs and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. The systems are designed for a 20-year lifespan and can be installed on industrial rooftops, featuring remote monitoring to ensure operational performance.

Inventive Power's business model focuses on making the technology accessible through leasing arrangements, which allows clients to see immediate savings of 15-30% on their thermal energy costs from the first month of installation. The company targets the industrial and commercial sectors, which use large amounts of thermal energy in their processes. Since its commercial start in mid-2012, the company has installed over 100 projects across Mexico. The firm has received funding from investors including Angel Ventures and BBVA Momentum.
