Resilient
Power where people live and work.
Distributed storage helps buildings respond locally when demand rises or supply is interrupted.
The power constraint of the AI era
AI needs more power.
Smart homes can help carry the grid.
Electricity demand is accelerating faster than conventional infrastructure can adapt. The next generation of homes cannot remain passive loads—they must store, manage, and deliver power at the edge.
A new role for buildings
The grid was designed for passive buildings. The future demands active ones.
AI, electrification, cooling, and renewable generation are making power more dynamic. Yet energy storage is still treated as a separate box. Aether integrates fast-response storage into the building itself, so smart homes can support their occupants and the grid.
Intelligent
Buildings that understand their energy state.
Integrated monitoring makes power, health, and operating mode visible in real time.
Scalable
Infrastructure that grows wall by wall.
Modular panels allow energy capacity to scale with the building instead of consuming new space.
The product
The Aether Embedded Energy Wall Panel.
A prefabricated, non-load-bearing wall panel with embedded supercapacitor storage, interconnection, controls, and monitoring integrated inside the building envelope.
01 / 04
A familiar building shell.
From the outside, the building remains clean, familiar, and architecturally conventional. The energy system stays out of sight, allowing the space to look and function like a normal building.
Behind the finished architecture, prefabricated walls become repeatable energy infrastructure. Storage is planned with the building instead of arriving later as another box, footprint, or installation step.
Inside each wall panel, an embedded supercapacitor connects with power electronics, controls, and monitoring. The wall stores energy, reports its condition, and responds quickly when the building needs power.
Interior finish, structural framing, protected energy modules, and serviceable connections work as one modular assembly. Each layer supports safety, access, performance, and a clean architectural result.
Working hardware
Built, charged, monitored, and demonstrated.
We built a full-scale wall-panel prototype with embedded storage and a live monitoring interface. It has been charged, discharged, and used to power a real load.
