Top Clean Technology Startups in 2027

Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation. To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes. Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries. What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day. We foster a welcoming community within our company that promotes experimentation, asking questions, making simple solutions to complex problems, and expressing different views and opinions. We are a transparent company both internally and externally and do not believe in operating in “stealth mode.” Lastly, we don’t work 60 hour weeks, and don’t expect you to either. In this role you will have a great deal of responsibility, earn a competitive salary and benefits,  and contribute to the development of groundbreaking technology.

We believe people are at their best when they’re living free from the burden of energy costs. The sun is the energy source of all life on earth, yet humanity captures almost none of what if offers. To close that gap, Optivolt builds solar systems that think — designed with aerospace power electronics inside to make solar more powerful, reliable, and cost effective than ever. Optivolt's Breakthrough: We realized deep integration between solar panels and power electronics unlocks an entirely new design space for innovation. This led us to inventing the Power Balancer (19 patents issued, 27 pending), an advanced power electronics device which embeds inside solar panels. Balancers work by shuffling power from stronger to weaker zones in the panel to keep power flowing, maximizing energy output and reliability. Performance vs. $8B market leader: • Up to 6x higher power output in real-world conditions • 40% lower equipment cost, 50% faster to install • 4x less failure points, while eliminating hotspots (#1 solar failure mode) Optivolt's development is funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy.

We have pioneered the focus on creating accessible Electric Vehicle charging platforms and stations through our products, we've assisted a range of individuals, companies and sectors and continue to promote access to EV charging platforms.

Ohmconnect is a software based power plant. Instead of turning on a dirty coal or gas power plant during times of peak demand, Ohmconnect has hundreds of users reduce their electricity. Best part is that instead of paying dirty gas power plants to turn on, ohmconnect can pay its users to turn down. When users sign up, they are told when to reduce their electricity. If they participate, their energy reductions can be sold into the markets as additional generation. Ohmconnect hooks into users' wifi thermostats, electric cars, and smart devices to automate these reductions. Our users are presented with a clean visualization of where their energy is coming from and where their energy is going. For each event that they participate in, they earn Ohmconnect points which can be cashed out at any time.

REGENT is building the seaglider: the first electric flying machine that will transport commercial passengers. By staying within a wingspan of the water, we unlock the ability to fly twice as far as an electric aircraft, and certification by maritime authorities which will let us fly first passengers by 2025. Airlines and ferry companies are getting in line to buy seagliders because they're half as expensive as short-haul aircraft, and six times faster than ferries.

We aggregate federal and state geospatial datasets and regulatory documents and build AI systems to give project developers and contractors automated spatial intelligence from site selection to permitting to project development across carbon sequestration, geothermal, hydrogen, and minerals projects.

To close the gap between CEA and traditional production, Hippo Harvest uses new methods of hydroponics, robotics, and machine intelligence to re-imagine greenhouses and build the sustainable, economical, and scalable production systems of the future.

The product is an e-commerce website for contractors.

Solar panel Installations

At home, work, and on the road, we put the right chargers in the right places. EVgo operates in over 50 major metropolitan areas across the country with charging stations that serve all electric cars on the road today. Founded in 2010 by NRG Energy, Inc., a Fortune 200 leader in renewable energy, EVgo is now an independent company with a majority ownership by Vision Ridge Partners of Boulder, Colorado, a climate action-oriented investment firm.
