The cat is out of the bag! Cala Systems is now out of stealth, as noted in Tim De Chant's TechCrunch story that ran this morning. We are also proud to make available for reservation our highly-intelligent heat pump water heaters that are designed to ensure comfort, save energy, reduce emissions, and integrate with the home (https://lnkd.in/eEd7EKFt). The full release can be found here (https://lnkd.in/efZrfD7B), but notable features include: 🚿 The system heats water based on the patterns of hot water use in each home and the preferences of the homeowner By understanding each home’s hot water patterns, Cala improves hot water availability during times of high demand and minimizes costs 👩🔬 Cala combines sensors and advanced hardware with patented predictive control software originally developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 💸 Poised to benefit both homeowners and installers with local, state, and federal incentives, including up to a 30% tax rebate through the Inflation Reduction Act 👨🔧 Cala has already signed over ten Letters of Intent (LOIs) with a network of professional plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors, as well as other partners, to support installation 💪 Cala will conduct final assembly in Massachusetts, bringing high-quality, green manufacturing jobs to the local economy. The round was led by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and Clean Energy Venture Group , and included Burnt Island Ventures, Leap Forward Ventures, CapeVista Capital, Collaborative Fund, and Climate Capital. https://lnkd.in/ev6pEZbu
