Why We Built Kora
When our co-founder Greg Connolly lost power for four days during a nor’easter, he went looking for a smarter solution. What he found was a fragmented industry built on 1970s-era electrical infrastructure and expensive, proprietary lock-in. Kora was born from the belief that homeowners deserve better.
We started with a simple thesis: energy independence should be accessible, intelligent, and beautiful. Not a tangled mess of separate solar inverters, battery systems, and apps that don’t talk to each other. One system. One app. Total control.
The Kora Smart Panel replaces your outdated breaker box with an intelligent hub that monitors every circuit in real time. Powerblocks give you modular storage that grows with your needs. And our Power App ties it all together — from demand forecasting to grid export optimization, all running on AI that learns your home.
We’re launching the Founders Edition because we believe early adopters deserve the best pricing, the most direct relationship with our team, and the satisfaction of being part of something that genuinely changes how homes work.
“We built Kora because the energy grid of the future starts in living rooms, not power plants. Every home that runs on Kora is one step closer to a resilient, distributed energy system that works for people, not utilities.”
