This week, the SphereCast team interviews Ingmar Kruse, CEO of SunSniffer \u2014 a technology that measures solar power module performance using artificial intelligence. Kruse\u2019s platform provides information on each module\u2019s power usage and whether the module needs to be replaced, all with the push of a button. Prior to the advent of SunSniffer, this type of work was expensive \u2014 more expensive, in fact, than the panels themselves. However, through his work, Kruse hopes to take the pain out of solar energy and to, ultimately, encourage more widespread sustainable energy adoption.

Ingmar\u2019s journey into solar power was far from linear, and his story is incredibly interesting. In fact, Ingmar\u2019s earliest work was with color printing and scanning and its associated software. However, his diverse experience fostered a certain \u201cout of the box\u201d thinking that ultimately led him to his work today \u2014 work that is, quite literally, saving the world. On the podcast, Ingmar talks through his full story, gives details on how SunSniffer got off the ground, walks through his typical day, and so much more.
